You should also check with your doctor if you have

disease, such as:
•
Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms

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;
•

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
