Ideas that can help

Join a health club that caters to heavy individuals. These facilities downplay mirrored walls and other bodybuilder trappings. Check your phone book to see if there's one near you.

Buy a piece of exercise equipment for your home -- a treadmill, rowing machine or stationary bike for aerobic conditioning, and a set of weights for strength.

Find ways to work physical activity into your day. Walk rather than drive as much as you can on your errands. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Use e-mail and the phone less; walk to your co-workers' desks instead.

If you are bothered by osteoarthritis, try swimming or water aerobics. Besides being good calorie-burners, these workouts don't put stress on your joints.
