PRECAUTIONS YOU SHOULD TAKE WHEN BEGINNING TO EXERCISE

Don’t be a “weekend warrior,” packing a week’s worth of activity into a day or two. Try to maintain a moderate level of activity throughout the week.

Learn to do your sport right. Using proper form can reduce your risk of overuse injuries, such as tendonitis and stress fractures.

Remember safety gear. Depending on the sport, this may mean knee or wrist pads or a helmet.

Increase your exercise level gradually.

Strive for a total body workout of cardiovascular, strength training, and flexibility and equilibrium exercises.

Engage in cross-training. Mixing up activities like running, swimming, cycling, and rowing reduces injury while promoting total fitness.
