General Question  rockfan's avatar  21 year old male and I've
never exercised before?  Asked by rockfan (3527 points )
November 25th, 2012 from iPhone  I’m 5’3” and I weigh 130
pounds, so I’m not terribly overweight. But besides delivering
and handling heavy boxes for the company I work for (I do it
once every two months) and gym in high-school, I have never
exercised.  Whenever I attempt a push up, I can barely do it,
and when I run for 5 minutes, it seems like I’m going to have a
heart attack.  Besides eliminating eating unhealthy foods,
what’s the very first thing I should do in order to get into
shape?  Observing members: 0 Composing members: 0  16 Answers
Crashsequence2012's avatar  A person in your situation should
see a doctor first.  The delivery job has likely helped preserve
muscle. I’d choose an aerobic workout.  chyna's avatar  You
could try walking first instead of running. Set a goal for
yourself such as walking for 30 minutes a day or walk a mile a
day and increase your time/distance gradually
