Good article on the importance of building exercise slowly (I think you can get a few NYT articles a month before hitting their paywall):

This is such a good article. I like the way it explains that everyone can go past their own personal limits when they give over the power of control to someone else. I think apps are good compared to trainers because you are more likely to stop before you have pushed yourself too far with just a voice in your headphones rather than looking a trainer in the eye you don't want to disappoint.
