For almost everyone, the benefits of physical activity far outweigh any risks. For some individuals, specific advice from a Qualified Exercise Professional or health care provider is advisable.

The following questions will help to ensure that you have a safe physical activity experience. Please answer YES or NO to each question before you become more physically active. If you are unsure about any question, answer YES.

1. Have you experienced ANY of the following (A to F) within the past six months?

A ) A diagnosis of/treatment for heart disease or stroke, or pain/discomfort/pressure in your chest during activities of daily living or during physical activity?

B) A diagnosis of/treatment for high blood pressure (BP), or a resting BP of 160/90 mmHg or higher?

C) Dizziness or lightheadedness during physical activity?

D) Shortness of breath at rest?

E) Loss of consciousness/fainting for any reason?

F) Concussion?

2. Do you currently have pain or swelling in any part of your body (such as from an injury, acute flare-up of arthritis, or back pain) that affects your ability to be physically active?

3. Has a health care provider told you that you should avoid or modify certain types of physical activity?

4. Do you have any other medical or physical condition (such as diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, asthma, spinal cord injury) that may affect your ability to be physically active?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions, agreeing to terms and conditions means:

I have consulted a health care provider or Qualified Exercise Professional (QEP) who has recommended that I become more physically active.

I am comfortable with becoming more physically active on my own without consulting a health care provider or QEP.
