This will not only maintain my physical activity, but improve it. So basically I need to start off doing moderate physical activities such as speed walking, swimming, biking, or any activities that will increase my breathing or heart rate. Then after a few weeks move to doing vigorous physical activities which means instead of speed walking, swimming, or biking. I would start jogging, swimming, biking, rowing, or any activities that will cause my heartbeat or heart rate to increase to high levels. I also need to make sure to spread out the activities so I will not over work my body. For example do all these aerobic exercises 4 days out of 7.

There is no test of “overall flexibility,” so you should plan a program of stretching exercises that involves most of your joints. Basically when we do our daily workouts we need to make a list of stretches for the muscles you are going to be working out that day. So that way you do not hurt yourself. Also I believe you get more limber when you stretch daily. For instance in high school when I was on the cheerleading squad and my toe touches weren’t as good as the use to be before summer came my coach had me stretching daily and sometimes 2 to 3 times a day. It worked but just got boring after awhile. Now and days the best way I stretch is right before I workout or by doing yoga or Pilates. I love to do yoga because not only are you stretching your body you are also relieving stress from your body and mind. If for some reason you do not do exercises during the week it’s still in your best interest to still do some stretches at least 3 times a week with an intensity to cause some tension, but not to where you have pain. Hold these stretches for 10 to 30 seconds and repeat theses stretches at least two times. That way you are able to keep your body a little stretched so you won’t have to many body
