Get a Smart Start on Exercising
Anyone over the age of 35, as well as younger persons whom are overweight, should check with his/her physician before commencing an
exercise program. Persons who have diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or have led sedentary
lifestyles should protect themselves with a medical check‐up and stress test administered by a healthcare professional.
 Stretching and massaging major muscles (such as your quadriceps) following a workout session will aid in the dissipation of lactic
acid and speed your body’s recovery.
 The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up the muscles before a vigorous workout. Concentrate on
raising your heart rate slowly.
 After an aerobic workout of roughly 20‐30 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually reducing your heart rate by moving slower or with
less resistance.
NOTE: Start slow, with intensity low until you build up endurance and strength. Always consult your physician before
beginning any exercise program.
