Key Questions to Ask Your Doctor
Starting a conversation with your healthcare provider is a crucial step in your fitness journey. It empowers you and ensures your plan is safe and personalized. Here are a few key questions to help you get that conversation started:
- Based on my specific health conditions and medications, are there any types of exercise or movements I should modify or avoid?
- What warning signs or symptoms (like dizziness, chest pain, or unusual shortness of breath) should I watch for when I exercise?
- Can you recommend a physical therapist or a certified senior fitness specialist in our community who can help me create a safe program?
- How can we measure my progress over the next few months? What health markers, like blood pressure or mobility, should we track?
