Describe an exercise program for a sedentary person in detail

What will be an ideal response?

To begin the program, log a baseline level of three full days of steps, putting a pedometer or step counter on first thing in the morning and not taking it off (except to shower) until going to bed at night. Next divide the figure by three to determine your average number of steps per day. Then, during subsequent weeks add 500 more daily steps each week to this baseline until you reach the 10,000 steps per day level.

To get more steps into the day take the stairs rather than the elevator when feasible, park in lots where you have to walk a greater distance to your destination, and take a walk during your lunch break. Keep in mind that even doing yard work, gardening, or household chores can add steps. If you are anchored to a desk working on a computer, take the time to get up and walk around your work area periodically to get your blood flowing and add more steps into your day.
