Before You Start Exercising
This app can be used to monitor your exercise. While

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;

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.
