February’s Goal: Work out 3 times a week.

If you’re not exercising much or at all, the goal this month is to start by exercising for 30 minutes, three times a week—or the equivalent. If you’re at that level now, increase to five times per week, or up the intensity. The health benefits of regular exercise are legion and linked to the success of healthy eating habits. Yet it so often seems impossible to squeeze such a good thing into a busy daily routine. Those who do get into the habit know, however, that exercise begets exercise. The problem is starting a realistic routine.
