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;

Dizziness or loss of consciousness;

•

You have not exercised for three months or more;

•

You are overweight or obese;

•

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.
