Find a form of exercise you actually enjoy

"When you participate in something that you enjoy, you are more likely to get up and do it," explains Sayers.
Sayers highly recommends using a heart rate monitoring device while you work out. Ideally, the CDC suggests getting your heart rate in the moderate zone during aerobic activity, which means a target heart rate between 64% and 76% of your maximum heart rate. You can estimate your maximum age-related heart rate based on your age by subtracting your age from 220. Pro tip: If you can talk while you are exercising but you`re too out of breath to sing full lyrics then you`re in the moderate zone.
