Helpful tips


  • Stay active and work out to keep your muscles strong and flexible.
  • Keep a healthy weight to avoid putting too much stress on your joints. Eat a healthy diet to keep your muscles healthy.
  • Be sure you do not hold your breath when exercising. This can raise your blood pressure. If you tend to hold your breath, try counting out loud when exercising. If any exercise bothers you, stop right away.
  • Try walking and swinging your arms at an easy pace for a few minutes to warm up your muscles. Do this again after exercising.
  • Exercise may be slightly uncomfortable, but you should not have sharp pains. If you do get sharp pains, stop what you are doing. If the sharp pains continue, call your doctor.
