heels and arches of the feet.
 Always warm up before doing exercise and cool down afterward to lower
the risk of strains and sprains.
 Take appropriate breaks during the activity.
 Do not exercise with an empty stomach. Eat something light (such as
toast with jam or skimmed milk) to give you some stamina. Do not
exercise immediately after a full meal because this will affect digestion.
 Replenish extra fluids before, during and after physical activity, especially
for prolonged exercise like hiking.
 Beware of the weather and environmental conditions. Avoid doing
vigorous outdoor exercises in hot or humid weather.
 Listen to the body. Do not exercise when unwell. If there is dizziness, shortness
of breath, chest pain, nausea or vomiting, or muscle and joint pain during
exercise, stop the activity and seek medical advice as soon as possible.
