If you are new to working out there are a few things you should do to make sure your ready to begin safely.
1. Get a check-up at your internist/general practitioner. They can best access if your heart is healthy, your blood pressure is good, and your ready to begin. If you get the ok, move onto #2.
2. Get new supportive athletic shoes. Go to a reputable store with knowledgeable sales people. Explain what you think you'll be doing (running, walking, aerobics...) since there are so many kinds available.
3. Start slowly. Figure out your stamina by walking 1 mile. Are you winded? Exhausted? Energized? This helps you figure out how to move forward.
4. Get advice and ideas from a professional, or a friend with experience who can help you develop a plan.
5. Drink lots of H20. This keeps you hydrated and helps your body metabolize nutrients efficiently.
