I have been asked to do 30 minutes exercises atleast three times a week. which type of exercises are safe. besides exercises can I do walking and if so how long and at what speed?


Answers:

Ask your doctor or physical therapist before beginning any new activity. They may recommend low intensity cardio workouts such as swimming or walking.
