Exercise brings a flood of oxygen rich blood flowing through your skin. It helps you sweat which cleans the pores and gives you a radiant glow. Most important, it makes you feel good about yourself and builds your self-confidence and self-esteem. You might weigh 200 pounds, but if you are doing something about it, you have to feel better about yourself. It also is wonderful for your sex drive.
But let's face it, most women are too tired to exercise. That is why we power nap first. Most women can't afford the price of a spa, so, I suggest that you start by walking. Buy a good, comfortable pair of sneakers.
Begin slowly. First make a commitment to yourself to exercise no matter what two times a week. Maybe one time around the block or one trip down and up the apartment stairs. The most important part to remember is that success it not measures by how much you do but the fact that you did it. What ever you do, increase it little by little. I suggest working up until you can walk fast for 3 miles at least two times a week.

Do not tie your commitment to a friend or neighbor. If she wants to do it, fine. But remember that you are doing this for yourself and if she finds an excuse not to exercise, you still do it for yourself. I also suggest an exercise video like Billy Banks - Tae Bo. You can do this when it is too bad to walk.

Don't bother to get a wonderful tan. Most men don't care as long as you are not lily white and too much sun just makes you age faster. I read a study once where is showed that the skin of the butt of a woman 70 years old was about the same as that of an eighteen year old. Which was to show that the difference, because the 70 year old woman's butt was not in the sun, it was the sunlight which made the difference. Did that make sense at all?? Trust me. A little sun is good for you, about 15 minutes three times a week. But more than that makes you crazy and old before your time! !:)
