pre-diabetes.
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.
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;
Dizziness or loss of consciousness;
Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest,
