Before you start exercising
Although the Samsung Health application is a great
companion to your exercise routine, it is always best
to make sure you consult with your physician before
beginning any exercise regimen. 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:
l
Heart disease; asthma or lung disease; diabetes,
or liver or kidney disease; arthritis.
Before beginning your exercise regimen check with
your doctor if you have symptoms suggestive of
heart, lung, or other serious disease, such as:
l
Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms
during physical activity;
l
Dizziness or loss of consciousness;
l
Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest,
or when lying down or going to bed;
l
Ankle swelling, especially at night;
l
A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced
heartbeat;
l
Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill
that goes away when you rest.
It is recommended that before engaging in an
exercise routine, you consult with your doctor or
medical practitioner. 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.
