Exercise Tips

If you have health problems – such as heart trouble, high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity – or if you are over age 40, check with your doctor before you begin a regular exercise program.

According to the surgeon general, the optimal goal is at least 30 minutes of physical activity on most days, preferably every day.

Listen to your body. When starting an exercise routine, you may have some muscle soreness and discomfort at the beginning, but this should not be painful or last more than 48 hours. If it does, you may be working too hard and need to ease up. Stop exercising if you have any chest pain or discomfort, and see your doctor before your next exercise session.

If you have osteoporosis, ask your doctor which activities are safe for you. If you have low bone mass, experts recommend that you protect your spine by avoiding exercises or activities that flex, bend or twist it. You should also avoid high-impact exercise in order to lower the risk of breaking a bone.
