(If you have any of the above symptoms please consult you local doctor.)

If you get out of breath while exercising slow down, as you should be able to talk normally while exercising without gasping for breath.

Always Drink lots of water before, during, and after exercise to replace the water you lose by sweating.

Leave at least 2 hours after a big meal before doing any strenuous exercises, and try to avoid swimming, however a 10 -15 minute walk should be ok.

While doing floor exercise such as sit-ups or crunches etc, try to use a padded surface or exercise mat to prevent excessive pressure on the spine.



Wear the right clothes:

Wear lightweight, loose-fitting tops so you can move easily.

Women should wear a good support bra, or a fitness top that has got adequate support built in..

Use the correct footware, supportive athletic shoes or trainers.

Wear clothes made of fabrics that absorb sweat and remove it from your skin.

Avoid wearing rubber or plastic suits, as your body could overheat due to the sweat being hald in against your skin.

Try to wear a hat when you exercise outdoors, a woolen hat in the cold weather, and a baseball cap in hot weather to help keep you cool.

Use sunscreen when you exercise outdoors. Cover all areas of exposed skin whenever outdoors.
