[00:51.96]So if you're one of those people who hasn't found the perfect physical activity yet - here are some things to think about which might help you make the right decision for you.
[01:04.59]The first question to ask yourself is whether you would enjoy training in a gym.
[01:10.36]Many people are put off by the idea of having to fit a visit to the gym into their busy day - you often have to go very early or late as some gyms can get very crowded.
[01:23.21]But with regular training you'll see a big difference in a relatively Short space of time.
[01:29.39]Running has become incredibly popular in recent years.
[01:34.52]That’s probably got a lot to do with the fact that it's a very accessible form of exercise - anyone can run - even if you can only run a few metres to begin with.
[01:45.31]But make sure you get the right shoes - it's worth investing in a high quality pair and they don't come cheap.
[01:53.37]Another great thing about running is that you can do it at any time of day or night - the only thing that may stop you is snow and ice.
[02:03.97]Swimming is another really good way to build fitness.
[02:07.90]What attracts many people is that you can swim in an indoor pool at any time of year.
[02:14.71]On the other hand, it can be quite boring or solitary - it's hard to chat to people while you're swimming lengths.
[02:22.36]Cycling has become almost as popular as running in recent years.
[02:27.67]That's probably because as well as improving their fitness, many people say being out in the fresh air in a park or in the countryside can be fun, provided the conditions are right, of course - only fanatics go out in the wind and rain!
[02:43.46]Yoga is a good choice for those of you looking for exercise which focuses on developing both a healthy mind and body.
[02:53.33]It's a good way of building strength and with the right instructor, there's less chance of hurting yourself than with other more active sports.
[03:02.46]But don't expect to find it easy - it can be surprisingly challenging, especially for people who aren't very flexible.
[03:10.78]Getting a personal trainer is a good way to start your fitness programme.
[03:16.98]Obviously there can be significant costs involved.
[03:20.14]But if you've got someone there to encourage you and help you achieve your goals, you're less likely to give up.
[03:27.78]Make sure you get someone with a recognised qualification, though, or you could do yourself permanent damage.
[04:11.01]Whatever you do, don't join a gym unless you're sure you'll make good use of it.
[04:16.76]So many people waste lots of money by signing up for membership and then hardly ever go.
[04:23.38]What happens to their good intentions?
[04:26.69]I don't think people suddenly stop caring about improving their fitness, or decide they have more important things to do.
[04:34.87]I think people lose interest when they don't think they're making enough progress.
[04:40.91]That's when they give up hope and stop believing they'll ever achieve their goals.
[04:46.95]Also, What people sometimes don't realise when they start is that it takes a lot of determination and hard work to keep training week after week and lots of people don't have that kind of commitment.
[05:02.77]One thing you can do to help yourself is to set manageable goals - be realistic and don't push yourself too far.
[05:12.57]Some people advise writing goals down, but I think it's better to have a flexible approach.
[05:19.69]Give yourself a really nice treat every time you reach one of your goals.
[05:24.96]And don't get too upset if you experience setbacks - it's a journey - there are bound to be difficulties along the way.
