Get into gear. Buy comfortable solid shoes that have non slip soles.


Do not select shoes that are high in heels, instead refer shoes that can help in planting the heels firmly on the ground. Select the clothes that are comfortable, not too tight nor too loose.

Give time to each and every session. You need to do each and every exercise gradually and avoid too much of strain on the work outs in the initial stages. Increase the number and the speed of the work out slowly depending on the body's capacity.
