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.
