What will be an ideal response?
During the initial stages of exercise, appropriate exercise choices include riding a bicycle (either road or stationary), walking in a shallow pool, doing water aerobics, or running in place in deep water (treading water). Such exercises are recommended because he needs to choose exercises in which he will not have to support his own body weight but that will still be effective in burning calories. Injuries to joints and muscles are common in excessively overweight individuals who participate in weight-bearing exercises such as walking, jogging, and aerobics. Swimming is not recommended either. More body fat makes a person more buoyant, and many people are not at the skill level required to swim fast enough to get the best training effect, thus limiting the number of calories burned as well as the benefits to the cardiorespiratory system.
