Graduality is an essential principle.
If you go out for walking, and you’re a beginner start 20 minutes 2-3 times per week, and increase duration by 10 % gradually to reach 40-50 minutes.
If you do weight training, progression should be gradually too.
Never too late to change and set a new goal!
Trust yourself!
