Physical fitness is very important in today's world. Everyone is enjoying the benefits of greater strength and feeling better. Exercise keeps your body strong and healthy.

Can I take part in vigorous physical activity?

Yes. People who decide to follow an exercise program are stronger and have more energy.

How does exercise benefit me?

With exercise, it becomes easier to get around, do your necessary tasks and still have some energy left over for other activities you enjoy.

In addition to increased energy, other benefits from exercise may include:

Improved muscle physical functioning

Better blood pressure control

Improved muscle strength

Lowered level of blood fats (cholesterol and triglycerides)

Better sleep

Better control of body weight

Do I need to see my doctor before starting exercise?

Yes. Before beginning any exercise program, be sure to check with your doctor. When planning a directed exercise program, you need to look at four things:

Type of exercise

Length of time you spend exercising

How often you exercise

How hard you work while exercising.

Here are some tips on each:

Type of Exercise

How Long to Exercise

Work toward 30 minutes a session. You should build up gradually to this level. There is nothing magical about 30 minutes. If you feel like walking 45 to 60 minutes, go ahead. Just be sure to follow the advice listed under "When should I stop exercising?" in this brochure.

How Often to Exercise

Exercise at least three days a week. These should be non-consecutive days, for example, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Three days a week is the minimum requirement to achieve the benefits of your exercise.

How Hard to Work While Exercising

This is the most difficult to talk about without knowing your own exercise capacity. Usually, the following ideas are helpful: Your breathing should not be so hard that you cannot talk with someone exercising with you. (Try to get an exercise partner such as a family member or a friend.) You should feel completely normal within one hour after exercising. (If not, slow down next time.)

You should not feel so much muscle soreness that it keeps you from exercising the next session.

The intensity should be a "comfortable push" level.

Start out slowly each session to warm up, then pick up your pace, then slow down again when you are about to finish. The most important thing is to start slowly and progress gradually, allowing your body to adapt to the increased levels of activity.

When should I exercise?

Try to schedule your exercise into your normal day. Here are some ideas about when to exercise:

Wait one hour after a large meal

Avoid the very hot times of the day

Morning or evening seems to be the best time for exercising

Do not exercise less than an hour before bedtime

When should I stop exercising?

If you feel very tired

If you are short of breath

If you feel chest pain

If you feel irregular or rapid heart beats

If you feel sick to your stomach

If you get leg cramps

If you feel dizzy or light-headed.

Are there any times when I should not exercise?

You have a fever

You have changed your dialysis schedule

You have changed your medicine schedule

Your physical condition has changed

You have eaten too much

The weather is very hot and humid, unless you exercise in an air-conditioned place
