Exercise

Exercise provides many benefits that you just can't get from watching your diet. Exercise expands your capacity to do things, gives you more energy, and can make you feel better. It is not a good idea to cut back on your calories too much. If you starve yourself, you will cut your metabolism and damage your health. Besides, even if someone stopped eating completely, the average person would only have a 2000 calorie deficit. There is a limit to how much you can cut back. However, if you can condition yourself, there is no limit to the calories you can burn or what you can achieve. Just be careful not to overdo your workouts. I have more advice below.

Starting Out

First, you may want to check with your doctor before you start your new workout regimen. Most experts advise that you do. I didn't, but I was only 25 when I started. If you have any sort of medical condition at all, you MUST get a checkup from your doctor before you begin.

The most important thing to remember is that you must enjoy what you are doing. If you don't enjoy what you are doing, you aren't likely to stick with it. Forget about what others say you should be doing. The most important thing is to get out and MOVE. There are many ways to burn extra calories. You can lift weights, run, walk, hike, play volleyball, or play tennis. Even golf is exercise. If you want to run or walk on a treadmill while you watch TV, that is perfectly fine. DO NOT think that just because you enjoy a workout, that you are cheating.

You don't want to strain yourself when you first start. Injuries are not fun, and they can cause you to drop out of your workout regimen. Start light. Break a light sweat. If you feel too uncomfortable, feel free to stop. Try to have fun with what you are doing.
