Worried About Injury When Exercising?

Fear of injury can hold you back from starting a new routine — but most exercises are safe when approached with care.

How to exercise confidently:

• Start slow and increase intensity gradually
• Focus on good form and warm up properly
• Choose low-impact options like swimming, walking or cycling
• Wear suitable shoes and comfortable clothing
• Listen to your body and rest if something doesn’t feel right
• Get advice from a physiotherapist or health professional if unsure

Gentle movement is often helpful for pain and stiffness. Avoiding movement entirely can lead to more physical issues in the long term.
