Pre-Exercise Screening Questions
Before you start an exercise program, we recommend seeing us or visiting your GP first, to make sure you can do so safely. As a suggestion, there are 7 basic questions below that you should answer before you start to exercise. We will ask these same questions when you see us...
Question 1: Has your doctor ever told you that you have a heart condition or have you ever suffered a stroke?
Question 2: Do you ever experience unexplained pains in your chest at rest or
during physical activity/exercise?
Question 3: Do you ever feel faint or have spells of dizziness during physical
activity/exercise that causes you to lose balance?
Question 4: Have you had an asthma attack requiring immediate medical
attention at any time over the last 12 months?
Question 5: If you have diabetes (type I or type II) have you had trouble
controlling your blood glucose in the last 3 months?
Question 6: Do you have any diagnosed muscle, bone or joint problems that you
have been told could be made worse by participating in physical
activity/exercise?
Question 7: Do you have any other medical condition(s) that may make it
dangerous for you to participate in physical activity/exercise?
IF YOU ANSWERED ‘YES’ to any of the 7 questions, please seek guidance from your GP or appropriate allied health professional prior to undertaking physical activity/exercise
IF YOU ANSWERED ‘NO’ to all of the 7 questions, and you have no other
concerns about your health, you may proceed to undertake light-moderate
intensity physical activity/exercise
Answered 'NO' to all 7 questions above?
Unless you have any other health concerns, you can choose to try one of our online workouts, which we call 'MOOVS'... please enjoy safely 🙂
