General Guidelines

Physical activity (exercise)
Physical activity causes your body to work harder than normal. The actual amount of physical activity you need depends on your fitness goals, whether you are trying to lose weight, and how fit you are right now.

How to run safely
For the safest running, your choice of clothing and shoes, the proper warm-up and cool-down, and your personal and medical safety are all important.
