Choose a few sports/actvities for variety

Depending on where you live, there's lots of activities you can take up to keep you active...and the more active you are, the better. It's a lot easier to get in shape when you're young, and stay in shape, then to wait until you are in your 50s.

Don't get me wrong - it's never too late to get into shape - it's just easier to do it when you are young and more active than you will be in future.

The cliche is that it's only guys who will go out and practice their basketball skills - playing HORSE, etc, but if you have a driveway and room for a hoop - why don't you go out and play some HORSE. (I'm assuming that all my readers are women.)

Or if you've got kids, play catch with them, or take them to play tennis, and so on.

Biking is perhaps the easiest hobby to get into, but you also want to work on your upper body strength as well. In order to prevent those flabby under arms, you need to get a couple of dumbbells and do a few exercises with them every day - I'll share those exercises in a future entry.
