Valuable safety measures for beginners prior to starting with an exercise:
1.      Consult a healthcare provider.
2.      Set aside a specific time each day to make physical activity and exercise part of your routine.
3.      You can ask a friend or a family member to join you in your endeavor which will not only be encouraging and motivating but will also be enjoyable.
4.      Start with small sessions like you can go for a 10-minute walk three times a day, or a 15-minute walk two times a day to get the recommended amount of moderate intensity activity—30 minutes a day, 5 days of the week.
5.      It is advisable to warm up for at least 5 to 10 minutes before any physical exercise and cool down at least 5 to 10 minutes at the end of your activity.
6.      It is very important to drink water before, during and after an exercise. It is important to stay hydrated at all given times.
7.      To not let boredom creep in, vary your exercise program. Change your routine every six to eight weeks to keep your body constantly adapting which will help you to burn more calories. For example, alternate walking with another more challenging physical activity. The main point is to keep adjusting to improve your fitness.
8.      It is as much important to practice specific balance exercises to help prevent falls and injuries. Balance techniques are mostly used as exercises in yoga or more simple forms of balancing exercises such as walking heal-to-toe, standing on one foot and more.
9.      Another very important thing to keep in mind is to maintain proper form during a physical activity. You can take help of a physiotherapist or a physical trainer if you are a beginner for best guidance. Experts always advice to start slowly and work your way up to more physically challenging activities.
10.  In case of an emergency, one should immediately dial 911 for the emergency medical services.

Moderate Intensity Exercises- walking briskly, water aerobics, bicycling slower than 10 miles per hour, ballroom dancing, gardening, tennis, vacuuming or mopping floors and more.

The Mental Challenge of Administering Effective CPR

  Understanding the Mental Challenge of Administering CPR Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) saves thousands of lives annually.
