Begin exercise slowly

Don't start too fast like Olly on his obstacle course

Begin any exercise slowly and learn to pace yourself, especially if you are not used to that activity or any activity at all.  It will mean you are much more likely to enjoy it and keep it up on a regular basis so it will make a difference to your health.  Too many people get carried away like Olly and throw themselves into an activity, only to get hurt, disorientated or give up.

Consult a doctor before starting any new exercise routine if any of the following apply to you -

• you have a medical condition
• are having any pain
• never exercised before
• are over 45

You can always increase the amount of time, effort and speed you do any exercises once you get used to it.  It's important to make a start and find activities that work for you.

Olly looked very hardy and enjoyed his time on and off the obstacle course from what I saw.

We don't have to do things perfectly, but we should try get into the routine of doing some activity each day for health, fitness, fun and general well being.
