One of the ways to increase your energy is with exercise. Please don’t run away or get scared. Exercise does not need to be scary or hard. Exercise is as easy as a fast walk or as intense as an hour weight lifting session. It can be whatever you want it to be. Remember not to start an exercise program without consulting your doctor.
