If you answered "YES" to any question, there may be a medical contraindication to your participation in exercise at this time. Talk with your doctor BEFORE you start becoming more physically active. Tell your doctor which question(s) you answered YES. You may be able to do any activity you want—as long as you start slowly and build up gradually. Or, you may need to restrict your activities to those which are safe for you. Talk to your doctor about the kinds of activities you wish to participate in and follow his/her advice.
