health problems or need medical assistance.
Before You Start Exercising
These applications 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
