Also, you can try out different exercise DVDs from netflix. You can even stream a lot of them to your computer! And never underestimate the power of walking. If you get a few hills in there, you'll get your heartrate up. I really like walking. If you go for an hour walk a day, that's a good place to start. Or biking or hiking. Your dog will love you

You can help him (her) stay in shape too!
Now that I'm used to exercising, I really see the benefit of it especially for stress.
