There are several exercise precautions for the overweight, and the concern increases as the amount of extra weight climbs. These include providing for such common problems as sensitivity to heat, difficulty in breathing, difficulty in performing various movements, joint and muscle pain and/or injury, and local muscle weakness.
Overweight person is at higher risk for heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. However, if the exerciser is careful to follow appropriate guidelines, has adequately prepared for emergency procedures, and emphasizes low to moderate-intensity non-weight bearing activities, such as bicycling, swimming and brisk walking, exercise programs for the severely overweight can be conducted safely.
Overweight exercisers tend to stick with the program longer if there is an emphasis on group participation in activities that are recreational, fun, varies and that offer the participant a feeling of personal success. Regimented calisthenics and aerobics training are not advised for the obese. Providing music, games , and social interaction will improve compliance.
Another key principle is that exercise need not be formalized to be beneficial. Exercise can take place at different time of the day, as a part of regular daily activities, such as climbing stairs or walking around. Such activity is also often more attractive to the overweight, who sometimes want to avoid being noticed during exercise. Athough control of diet is the real power behind losing weight, regular exercise is meaningful because it leads to many important improvements in health and fitness.
