...the one you do!
C'mon, you must have seen that coming.
But seriously, my feeling is that if you are going to get into an exercise program then it should be performed to the best of your ability and should be practiced in such a way as to offer a significant challenge, and thus, growth.
I do not endorse the notion that "something is better than nothing". My father, bless him, says this all too often and it creates a permissive attitude that settles for the least possible amount of exercise given any opportunity to push a little harder. I say, take it as far as your body can safely allow and see what challenges you can overcome or at least endure.
In this modern world where physical beauty is a cartoonish distortion of the human body and marketing strategies prey on our mating instinct in one fashion or another, there are few avenues left for honorable self-mastery and introspection. One of the best and time-tested is the arena of physical fitness for it's own sake or for the sake of the philosophical lessons of humility, determination and focused awareness.
