- It is important to always listen to your body first,
instead of only relying on measurements of the
health band. Too intense exercising may cause
health problems like feeling dizzy or faint,
nausea, temporary chest pain or exhaustion.
- Consult your doctor before you start exercising
in the following situations:
-
If you have heart disease, kidney disease
and/or diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2.
-
If you are taking medicines for high blood
pressure and/or that influence your
(maximum) heart rate. (In case of doubt,
please check with your doctor).
-
If you have a heart condition or if you are in
cardiac rehab.
Ask your doctor about which exercises you can
do and what your target heart rate should be.
Exercising with a too high heart rate could
cause health problems like temporary chest
pain, heart overload or exhaustion.
- Always consult your doctor first before you start
or continue exercising if you experience any of
the following signs or symptoms:
-
If you feel dizzy or nauseated or feel that
you are about to faint.
-
If you feel unusually tired or exhausted
during normal activities.
-
If you feel pain in your chest, neck, jaw or
arms.
-
If you feel your heart beats too hard or too
fast.
-
If you are short of breath during rest or mild
exertion, when lying flat or during the night.
-
If you have a known heart murmur.
-
If you have swollen ankles.
Exercising with any of these symptoms might
increase the risk of heart problems.
- Avoid vigorous to near-maximal activity if you
are not very active or not accustomed to this.
Too intense exercising may increase the risk of
injuries (e.g. falls, sprains) and may cause health
problems like fainting, nausea, temporary chest
pain or exhaustion.
- During pregnancy:
-
Always follow your doctor's advice on
weight management, exercise type,
frequency, duration, intensity and rest
intervals.
-
The heart rate zone indicator is not
applicable.
-

the app on a regular basis. Failure to do so
might result in inaccurate energy
expenditure (calorie burn) estimation.
