This is so great, thanks for posting! We need to research everything there is to know about physiotherapy and safe exercise at the gym. Where can I learn more?
If exercising is new to you its important to start slowly and build up gradually. Take into account any medical conditions you may have or previous injuries; if in doubt seek professional advice. Try and start by turning your daily activities into a workout - take the stairs, walk to the train or local shops. Progress to low impact activities - walking, swimming or cycling. Seek soft surfaces such as grass to start your walking or running. Wear appropriate footwear - flip-flops are not suitable for walking or running! Have patience - it may take 4-6 weeks to notice the benefits of exercise.
