in Action
Exercise
can help you in many ways. It will improve circulation throughout
your body, which helps your lungs, heart and other organs. It
also reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and burns calories.
Before starting an exercise program, ask your doctor what is appropriate
for you. Most likely, you'll learn that walking is the ideal exercise
for you.
EVERY STEP COUNTS
- Always
check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program
- If
you can't safely or comfortably walk outside, use a treadmill
- Set
small goals and gradually build up your endurance
- Give
yourself credit for little activities, like taking stairs instead
of elevators
Because
you have poor circulation, you must take good care of your legs
and feet. Keep your feet warm and dry. Trim your toenails carefully.
Examine your feet for injuries. Moisturize your skin. To preserve
your skin's natural oils, avoid bathing in very hot water.
