4 Tips for Overweight Exercisers

If you're a little overweight, your doctor might have told you that you need to exercise in order to reduce some of the health risks associated with being overweight.

However, when you're overweight, your body is more prone to injury. Your body is also not used to exercise or the impact that comes with it, which can also present a problem.

This shouldn't keep you from staying away from the gym or getting your workout in at home. Instead, here are four tips from Prevention on how you can exercise if you have extra weight:

1. Go slow
2. Mix it up
3. Stretch it out
4. Support your soles
