What is the healthiest workout and diet for a 20 year old 5 foot woman?

The best diet is simple: "Eat Food. Not too Much. Mostly Plants." Avoid fried food and junk food, and eat fresh stuff and whole grains.

The best exercise is something you'll enjoy doing. It can be anything as long as it gets you moving and you don't dread doing it! Anything from walking to biking to Frisbee to dance to rowing to kung fu.


There are two types of exercise: aerobic and resistance. Running is aerobic, weight-lifting is resistance. Small hand weights (about 3-7 pounds) and a skipping rope are the best, cheapest, easiest things to start with.
