Dear Leo,
I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well recently. But the doctor is right—you do need to exercise more. I have some suggestions that you might find helpful.
Start by showing your understanding of the situation.
Sample
First, try to do small amounts of exercise whenever you can. For example, try taking the stairs up to your flat instead of the lift. Second, you don’t have to pay to exercise. For instance, you can go running in your school playground, in the park or around your community. All you need is a pair of comfortable running shoes! Finally, I understand that exercising alone can be boring, but you can invite your family and friends to work out with you. Encourage them to take exercise too so that you can have fun exercising together. This way, you are more likely to stick with your exercise routine.
Give suggestions with reasons.
No time
No money
No partner
I hope you’ll find these suggestions helpful. I’m sure you’ll soon be feeling happier and healthier.
Yours truly,
Rachel

Keep moving! Nothing is impossible to a willing heart!
