- Do low-intensity warm-up and cool-down activities. This allows time for your body to adjust. It also helps prevent your blood pressure from dropping, which can happen if you suddenly stop exercising.
- Pace yourself so you can still talk comfortably during exercise. Or learn to check your pulse rate.
- Drink plenty of fluids before, during and after exercising.
Stop your activity and consult a doctor right away if you have chest pain or pressure, lightheadedness, nausea, abnormal heartbeats, trouble with breathing or balance, or other unusual symptoms.
