\"ManDo not exercise if you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing.\u00a0<\/strong>Stay home and rest, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority.<\/p>\n

If you\u00a0are able to go for a walk or bicycle ride\u00a0<\/strong>always practice physical distancing and wash your hands with water and soap before you leave, when you get to where you are going, and as soon as you get home.\u00a0 If water and soap are not immediately available, use alcohol-based hand rub.<\/p>\n

If you go to a park or public open space to walk, run or exercise<\/strong>\u00a0always practice physical distancing and wash your hands with water and soap, before you leave, when you get to where you are going, and as soon as you get home.\u00a0 If water and soap are not immediately available, use alcohol-based hand rub. Follow the directions of your local health authority in regards to any restrictions on the number of people with you and\/or restrictions on the use of public outdoor play or exercise equipment.<\/p>\n

If you are not regularly active start slowly and with low intensity activities<\/strong>, like walking and low impact exercises. Start with shorter amounts, like 5-10 minutes, and gradually build up to 30 minutes or more continuously over a few weeks. It is better and safer to be active for short periods more frequently than to try and be active for long periods when you are not used to it.<\/p>\n

Choose the right activity so that you reduce the risk of injury<\/strong>\u00a0and that you enjoy the activity. Choose the right intensity according to your health status and fitness level. You should be able to breath comfortably and hold a conversation while you do light- and moderate-intensity physical activity.<\/p>\n
