Hello

 I am currently studying at a FE College in Scotland and I would like to get fit(er) - where shall I start?  I am female and 27 years old.  Any advice?  The last exercise I took was riding my bike in my early teens!!!

It's important to think about what you enjoy - you're more likely to stick to something if it's fun.  Running, biking, walking, going to the gym, playing a sport like tennis, there's lots of great options - but do start back easy or you'll be too sore to do anything for a few days.

If you want to lose weight and shape up, weight training will give you the most 'bang for your buck'.
