This is a series of images of a man standing near a door. There is an exercise band secured in the door at waist height.

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.
Always warm up before stretching. Heated muscles stretch much easier than cool muscles. Stretching cool muscles can lead to injury.
Try walking and swinging your arms at an easy pace for a few minutes to warm up your muscles. Do this again after exercising.
Never bounce when doing stretches.
Doing exercises before a meal may be a good way to get into a routine.
If you are using weights, choose a weight that will allow you to repeat the exercise 10 times before resting. If you easily do 10 repeats, you may not be using enough weight. If you are not able to do 10 repeats, you are using too heavy of a weight.
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.
