Are there any exercises that I shouldn't do or should I?
Before beginning any new workout program, consult your doctor. You might have injuries or conditions that make it impossible to do certain types of exercise. You may also need special equipment or training for certain activities. Swimming, for example, requires swimming suits and access to the pool.
