6Warm Up Exercises

Start out walking slowly and then gradually increase the pace over a 5-minute period.

Then stretch your muscles and bend your joints for 5 to 10 minutes.

7Intensity of Exercises

Exercises performed at low and moderate intensity will help you stay fit and healthy.

Example, regular, moderate activity, such as three 10 minute walks a day, reduces your risk of death from heart disease by as much as 60%.

With your health care provider's approval, your goal should be 30 to 90 minutes of moderate exercise a day, most days of the week.

8Cool Down Exercises

Right after exercise, allow your heart rate to return slowly to normal.

Example, walking slowly for about 5 minutes will let you cool down and allow your heart and breathing to return to normal levels. Then stretch the muscles used during your exercise. After stretching, your muscles will be more flexible and less stiff. Devote a total of 5 to 10 minutes to cooling down.

You can use the same exercises as warm-up exercises for cool-down exercises as well.
