My favorite exercise is walking fast. But just be sure to start slow. Over time, once your body gets used to it, you can increase your speed and distance. Just be sure to hydrate when you're done. If you know you're going to be something more than what you're used to (hiking for example), try taking to tylenol before starting out. That works for me.
