activities, including exercise, 
sleep, and meals. 
Note
: This device and related software are not

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; 
• Dizziness or loss of consciousness; 
• Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, 
or when lying down or going to bed; 
• Ankle swelling, especially at night; 
• A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced 
heartbeat; 
• Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill that 
goes away when you rest. 
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 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 �rst step on your 
path to physical �tness.
