Beginner’s Guide to Exercise

If you’re beginning an exercise program for the first time or starting a new exercise program, you must check with your doctor that you are fit to do so, particularly if:

You have been diagnosed with heart problems, high blood pressure or other medical conditions.
You have not exercised for over a year.
You are over 35 and do not currently exercise.
You are pregnant or are a new mother.
You have diabetes.
You have chest pain, or experience dizziness or fainting spells.
You are recovering from an injury or illness.

Workout tips

Always perform a warm-up and stretching exercises before your workout and a cool-down and stretching exercises at the end.
Start slowly and build up your time, speed and resistance gradually; doing too much too soon can lead to injuries.
If you are sore or tired, give yourself a few extra days to recover.

How to begin

Start with two or three 15-minute sessions per week with a rest day between workouts.
Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes with gentle movements incorporating the whole body such as walking while swinging your arms in a circle and then stretch the muscles you’ll use during your workout.
Increase the intensity to slightly harder than comfortable and exercise for as long as you can. You may only be able to exercise for a few minutes at a time, but that will change quickly when you exercise regularly.
End each workout with a 5-minutecool-down. You should then stretch the muscles you’ve just worked to develop flexibility, reduce muscle soreness and prevent injury.
Increase your workout time by a few minutes each week until you can work continuously for 30 minutes per session.

How hard should you work?

Always be aware of how you feel when you exercise. If you feel dizzy or light- headed, stop immediately and rest.

Stretching Guide

Tips for stretching

Begin with small mobility exercises of all the joints e.g. simply rotate the ankles, bend the knees and roll your hips. Gradually make the movements larger and faster. This will allow the body’s natural lubrication (synovial fluid) to protect the surface of your bones at these joints.
Always warm up the body before stretching, as this increases blood flow around the body, creating warmth which makes the muscles more supple.
Start with your legs, and steadily work up the body.
Each stretch should be held for at least 10 seconds (working up to 20 to 30 seconds) and usually repeated about 2 or 3 times.
Do not stretch until it hurts. If there’s any pain, ease off.
Don’t bounce. Stretching should be gradual and relaxed.
Don’t hold your breath during a stretch.
Stretch after exercising to prevent muscles from tightening up.
Stretch at least three times a week to maintain flexibility.

Warm-up and cool-down

successful cardio-vascular exercise program consists of a full-body warm-up,
aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Do the entire program at least two and preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months, you can increase your workouts to four or five times per week.

Warm-up

The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for five minutes before strength-training or exercising aerobically. Perform activities that raise your heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, and running on the spot. Try to incorporate moves that take the joints through their full range of motion.

Stretching

Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretching develops flexibility and reduces muscles soreness.

Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.

Do not bounce or over-stretch. Take your time on each stretch. Gradually take each stretch a little deeper on every out breath to your personal maximum.

Inner Thigh Stretch

Calf- Achilles Stretch

COOL-DOWN

The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal or near normal, resting state at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate, allows blood to return to the heart and helps prevent muscle soreness caused by the build-up of lactic acid in the muscles.
