21 year old male and I've never exercised before?

Asked by rockfan (14627points) November 25th, 2012 from iPhone

I’m 5’3” and I weigh 130 pounds, so I’m not terribly overweight. But besides delivering and handling heavy boxes for the company I work for (I do it once every two months) and gym in high-school, I have never exercised.

Whenever I attempt a push up, I can barely do it, and when I run for 5 minutes, it seems like I’m going to have a heart attack.

Besides eliminating eating unhealthy foods, what’s the very first thing I should do in order to get into shape?
