Before undertaking any physical exercise there are
a few things to remember:
- Always consult your GP or Practice Nurse prior
to commencing any new exercise programme
- If you have concerns regarding medical considerations
for example Arthritis or Angina, ask your GP or practice
Nurse for advice, sometimes your response to exercise
will differ with certain medications
- Wear comfortable clothing that does not restrict
movement
- Wear shoes with soles that are firm but not rigid.
Ideally shoes should have laces or other fastening type (rather than slip on
type) to be safe.
- Single lens glasses are safer than bifocal/varifocals
during exercise
- Do not exercise if you feel unwell or have swelling
of a joint.
- Avoid tipping your head backwards, turning or changing
direction too fast
