Keep In Shape With Your Custom Shoes...and Be Safe, Too!

Walking Safety Tips

• Monitor your level of fatigue, heart rate, and physical
discomfort.

• Beware of warning signs and signals of a heart attack,
such as chest and arm pain, dizziness, and lightheadedness.

• Use the appropriate equipment and clothes for the activity.

• Take 3-5 minutes before the activity to stretch and
warm up your muscles. As you near the end of the activity,
decrease the activity in order to properly cool
down.

• Begin your activity at an easy pace while increasing
time and distance gradually.

• Drink plenty of water, at least eight to ten 8oz. cups of
water per day to replace lost fluids.
