How to Exercise: Stretching

Every normal person can start exercise but I must recommend before start this activity you should get medical clearance from your family doctor.
Why is it so important to get clearance from doctor?
Answer is sometimes we never feel any sign of illness and we just start exercising. This sort of activity can result a major loss.
Once you get doctor clearance then check your affordability for exercise costume like
·         Comfortable trouser & shirt
·         Flexible jogging joggers
·         Towel Wrist gripper
·         Cap or hair catcher
If you can’t afford these things then don’t feel sad you still can do exercise. Just wear whatever you want; your costume should be comfortable.
When you finally plan to start exercise then just relax and start your physical activity as simple as you can. I recommend few exercises that do not require equipments.
Purpose of these exercises
These exercises look very simple but really strengthen your heart and other large muscles.
Precautions
·         Start slowly avoid speedy activity
·         Do one activity for few minutes then slowly increase time & level of activity.
