I am out-of-shape and don't have a sledgehammer. So I started by using my husbands shovel (the digging part is metal). It was easier than I anticipated. I will buy a sledgehammer soon. I also walk the dog (this has to be done daily) for about 3 miles.

A shovel sounds perfect. I sometimes recommend starting with a broom (even lighter). The most important thing is to build the habit and to get comfortable with the movements. Don't rush to upgrade. Do this for a few weeks first and see how you like it and whether you're actually able to convince yourself to do it every weekday morning.
