This is something that is emphasized in sports training. A lot of people build up with HIIT or high intensity interval training. You do brief bouts of exercise getting your heart rate up with that training regimen. Also any exercise even walking is super good for you. A lot of people can't do much at the beginning so they tell to try to build up a little at a time. If you can't handle land exercises pool is also a great way to try multiple types including HIIT, low intensity cardio, and higher intensity. It easier on your joints.
