I need precautions for exercises

I want to join my Old Students team for a charity walk next week. Kindly let me know the precautions to take since I have not done any exercise in the past few months. I am a 60- year- old woman.

It is important for you to wear comfortable clothing and well- padded shoes that can protect the heels and arches of the feet. It is also useful for you to warm up before doing exercise and to cool down afterwards to lower the risk of strains and sprains. Taking appropriate breaks during the activity is also important. Do not exercise with an empty stomach. Eat something light (such as a pap or a slice of bread with jam) to give you some stamina. Do not exercise immediately after a full meal. Take some extra fluids before, during and after physical activity. Above all, listen to your body; do not exercise when unwell. If there is dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea or vomiting or muscle or joint pain during the exercise, stop the activity and seek medical advice as soon as possible.
