Before You Start Exercising
This app can be used to monitor your exercise. While moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, is safe for most people, health experts suggest that you talk with your doctor before you start an exercise program, particularly if you have any of the following conditions:
Heart disease;
•
Asthma or lung disease;
•
Diabetes, or liver or kidney disease;
•
Arthritis.
•
You should also check with your doctor if you have symptoms suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious disease, such as:
Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or
•
arms during physical activity;
Finally, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends that you see your doctor before engaging in vigorous exercise if two or more of the following apply:
You are a man older than age 45 or a woman
•
older than age 55;
You have a family history of heart disease before
•
age 55;
You smoke or quit smoking in the past six months;

You have high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
•
You have impaired glucose tolerance, also called
•
prediabetes.
When in Doubt — Check It Out
If you are unsure of your health status, have several health problems, or are pregnant, you should speak with your doctor before starting a new exercise program. Working with your doctor ahead of time is a good way to plan an exercise program that is right and safe for you. Consider it the first step on your path to physical fitness.
