Recommended Exercise Methods
A few simple rules are helpful as you develop your own routine.
- Don't eat for 2 hours before vigorous exercise.
- Drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after a workout.
- Adjust your activity level according to the weather, and reduce it when you are fatigued or ill.
When exercising, listen to the body's warning symptoms, and consult a doctor if exercise causes chest pain, irregular heartbeat, unusual fatigue, nausea, unexpected breathlessness, or light-headedness.
