You don't say how old you are, but if you are over, say 35, getting your 
own body in shape is really hard!  I say that from personal experience. 
 Thanks to ancient knees & a torn ACL, I don't run any more, but I walk 
a lot, go to Curves 3 x week and ride my horse 4 x week at least and 
feel like I barely stay ahead of decay.  I've also discovered in the 
past couple of years, that getting my core/abdominal muscles strong is 
the best thing I can do.
My advice: just do anything active you feel up to and slowly increase it.
Good luck!
