The average citizen doesn't make exercise a priority. If you had cancer, would you make your chemotherapy and radiation treatments a priority and block out a time each day to receive these?
If you answered yes, then exercise should be a priority as well. There are a lot of illness created by being overweight; diabetes, heart disease, elevated cholesterol, and hypertension, (high blood pressure), just to name a few, and yes, even being overweight can cause certain types of cancer.
I challenge you to prioritize exercise like it's a life or death decision. Just take thirty minutes a day, and if you feel like it, add more. And I'm not counting the day-to-day activities either, such as housework or chasing after the kiddos. It has to be something that you carve a time out for yourself, just to exercise.
I've attached a link for a great article I read online. It's called the 7 Workout Habits You Should Drop Now. It's all about exercising the "right" way, though I think that any exercise is better than none. Good luck and report your progress.
