REACHING MY GOALS

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SAFETY TIPS

• Slow down if you’re out of breath. You should be able to talk during physical activity without gasping for breath.
• Drink water before, during, and after physical activity (even during water workouts).
• Wear appropriate safety gear.
• Wear supportive sneakers and use sunscreen when outdoors.
• Use the buddy system. Bring a friend along when you go swimming or out walking so you have someone around if you need help.

STOP PHYSICAL ACTIVITY RIGHT AWAY IF YOU:

• have pain anywhere in your body.
• feel dizzy or sick.
• break out in a cold sweat.
• have muscle cramps.
