## Put it into practice

Begin with gentle walking or another easy activity. Then try easier versions of the planned exercises and build up gradually.

## Things to keep in mind

A warm-up does not need to exhaust you. If you notice pain or unusual weakness at the start, reconsider the session rather than covering it with more effort.

## Your next step

- Start calmly
- Try movements lightly
- Check how you feel
