Just be careful and don't try to do too much. Prednisone and PMR can make your muscles and tendons weaker and less flexible. Also take lots of rest. At first you might only have energy every other day or one day out of three. But that improves over time.
I would try to see a rheumatologist to confirm that you have PMR. There are other conditions that mimic PMR - 5 Diseases That Can Mimic Polymyalgia Rheumatica: https://www.everydayhealth.com/rheumatic-diseases/diseases-that-can-mimic-polymyalgia-rheumatica/
