Begin with low-impact activities like walking for 20-30 minutes, three to four times a week. Gradually increase duration and intensity as tolerated.
Strength training is beneficial; aim for two sessions per week, focusing on major muscle groups. Use light weights or resistance bands to start.
Listen to your body. Rest when needed. Avoid overexertion, especially during periods of increased fatigue or muscle weakness.
Consider water aerobics or swimming; these are low-impact options that minimize stress on joints.
Consult your doctor or physical therapist before starting any new exercise program. They can help you create a safe and effective plan tailored to your individual needs and Prednisone dosage.
Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly, especially before, during, and after exercise, if you have diabetes.
Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, particularly before, during, and after workouts.
Prioritize consistency over intensity. Regular, moderate exercise yields better long-term results than sporadic intense workouts.
Choose activities you enjoy. This increases adherence and makes exercise a more sustainable part of your routine.
