Dr. John A. King says don't wait for motivation to exercise. Start with five minutes: buy shoes, walk to the letterbox, something small. Small progress counts.

What about exercise? Why don't you start with a 5-minute walk? Why don't you start with a 10-minute walk? Why don't you start with just buying some new shoes, putting 'em on and going for a stroll to the letterbox? Well, that's a start. Well, that's nothing. That doesn't count. Yeah, well, you've done nothing, bugger lugs, for the last 18 months. Why don't you try buying some shoes, putting 'em on and walking to the letterbox? That's a start. Don't decry the small.
