Get enough sleep.

Getting enough sleep is one of the most important things you can do to improve your health and fitness.

Your body needs adequate rest so that it can focus on repairing tissues, strengthening bones, and building muscle during periods of restful slumber.

Easy Water Aerobic Exercises

Water aerobic exercises are a fun way to get a workout in the water. They can be done anywhere and don’t require any special equipment. Water aerobic exercises are also easy on your joints, making them ideal for people with arthritis or other joint problems.

Warm-Up

It is important to warm up before doing any aerobic exercise. The following are a few stretches you can do:

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend forward at the waist, keeping knees slightly bent. Place hands on thighs or in front of body as shown in Figure 1 below. Slowly lift one leg straight out behind you while keeping other knee bent (Figure 2). Hold for 10 seconds and then switch legs, raising opposite arm as well – this will stretch chest muscles on opposite sides of body (Figure 3). Repeat 5 times per side.*
