Increase your chances of success for greater efficiency.
- Start with short periods of very easy exercise.
- It’s a good idea to initially plan a route you know has spaces to rest (benches, cafe terraces… to recover).
- Gradually increase the duration before increasing the intensity.
- Rest for about an hour after meals before exercising.
- If you are tired or not feeling well, cut your exercise short. Don’t overexert!
- Feeling good enough? Practice two sessions a day with different activities to break the monotony.
- Are you overdoing it? If you are uncomfortable, stop increasing the time. Go back to the previous level of activity for a few days.
- Drink water before, during and after physical activity
- If it is cold or windy, you should try to warm up before leaving home. Try taking a few steps for two or three minutes to reduce the thermal shock when you go outside.
- If you set a goal that you think you will struggle to achieve, ask a family member or friend to come with you.
