    The 5 Best Workouts

    Want to get in shape but not sure where to begin with your New Year's fitness resolution? Look no further. According to a recent Harvard Medical School newsletter, there are five ideal exercises that can whip your body into shape. (Bonus: Being young, skinny and adept at all things sports not required.)

    "If you're not an athlete or serous exerciser, these exercises are good for an intro to fitness," according to Sabrena Merrill, exercise physiologist and spokesperson for the American Council on Exercise (ACE). "Once you have mastered them, you can still do these-just enhance your workout by upping the intensity."

      Tai Chi

      Tai Chi may not look like an intense workout, but it doesn't have to be in order to build a strong mind and body. By incorporating slow, graceful movements, this Chinese martial art boosts balance and focus with its moving meditation. "Tai Chi incorporates breathing, mindfulness, being aware of your body and being connected to what is going on in your body," all things that are very important to our health, particularly as we age, says New York City personal trainer Kelvin Gary from Body Space Fitness.
