    Honestly, getting started - walking. Chuck in some headphones, and just get going. Add in some hills. It's free, flexible, doesn't require equipment, and you can start adding in jogs etc when you're comfy.

    The best exercise is one you'll actually do, and hopefully enjoy doing. As stated above, walking is very accessible. If you are working long hours, there are online videos you can do at home before or after work. Weekends do something outdoors that you enjoy.

    Walking and some light strength training to start and progress from there.
