Physical fitness activity does not have to be limited to a gym or group activity. It is easy to arrange space in a living room and follow routines on an exercise video. It is important to determine if it is medically safe to engage in physical fitness and then to start at the proper level of skill. It is equally important to wear the right clothes and shoes and to insure that the floor will not contribute to any slipping or falling.
