Do I need to see my health care provider before I start being physically active?

By: Meg Dilts
  

You should talk to your health care provider if you:

  • Have a chronic disease or have risk factors for a chronic disease, such as asthma or diabetes.

  • Have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a personal or family history of heart disease.

  • Are pregnant.

  • Are a smoker.

  • Are unsure of your health status or have any concerns that exercise might be unsafe for you.
Chances are your health care provider will be pleased with your decision to start an activity program. It is unlikely that you will need a complete medical exam before you go out for a short walk.
