Wait at least 90 minutes after eating a meal before aerobic exercise.
Gradually increase your activity level, especially if you have not been exercising regularly.
Remember to have fun! Choose an activity that you enjoy — exercising should be fun and not a chore. You’ll be more likely to stick with an exercise program if you enjoy the activity. Here are some questions you can think about before choosing a routine:
What physical activities do I enjoy?
Do I prefer group or individual activities?
What programs best fit my schedule?
Do I have physical conditions that limit my choice of exercise?
What goals do I have in mind? (losing weight, strengthening muscles or improving flexibility, for example)
Warm up. Take time to include a 5- minute warm-up, including stretching exercises, before any aerobic activity.
Cool down. Include a 5-minute cool down after the activity. Stretching can be done while standing or sitting.
When drinking liquids during exercise, remember to follow your fluid restriction guidelines.
Dress for the weather conditions and wear protective footwear.
