Don’t despair.

You don’t have to run races, but you must do some form of exercise at least three times a week for a minimum of 20 minutes duration. Once you are emotionally committed to exercise, you like it and it no longer becomes just a weight management tool, but a way to feel good and relieve stress. It’s better than having a cocktail after work.”
