Improving your fitness
Keeping as active as you can is definitely a good thing to do. It is recommended that you do 30 minutes of moderate activity on most days, but it may take some time before you are able to reach this target. If you are new to an activity, start slowly and do more gradually as the activity becomes easier for you.
Exercise should be comfortable; a good rule to follow is that you must not exercise so hard that you can’t hold a conversation. Listen to your own body and rest when it tells you to.
You may find the following scale useful to decide whether you are working at a moderate level:
rest very light light moderate hard very hard maximum
very easy slightly breathless very breathless Exhausted
not breathless but comfortable very tired
to continue
