Safety and Injury Guidelines

Here are some exercise precautions and safety tips:


*Wear comfortable clothing and well-padded shoes that can protect the heels and arches of the
feet;
*Put on appropriate gear for the activity if necessary, such as protective pads, aerobics foams etc.
*Always warm up before doing exercise and cool down afterwards 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 outdoor vigorous 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.
