Ask for Advice

What plan do you suggest?

What would you do in my situation?

Giving Advice

You could always start with an exercise programme.

Maybe you should join them.

If I were you, I’d start from something easy, such as doing some sports once a week at first. Why don’t you get up a little bit earlier every morning and do some outdoor exercise?
