  1. Be open to trying NEW activities.
  2. See your Doc for an initial physical assessment.
  3. Address all potential excuses for not exercising, up front.
  4. Get a like-minded buddy.
  5. Create an initial 4-6 week plan, but focus one day at a time.
  6. Verbally commit to your plan to those closest to you.
  7. Physically schedule time in your calendar.
  8. Consider this time as YOUR time—a break from other life demands.
  9. Walk before you run.
  10. Take baby steps toward small goals.
  11. It’s not how well you play…it’s how much you enjoy it that counts, so find something you enjoy to play!
