Some symptoms may require a medical certificate before starting your regular exercise.
Exercise is healthy, promoting everything from mood to heart health, but just like starting a car, especially if you haven't used it in a while, it's a good idea.Check to be sure before you leave. This is where pre-workout check-ups come in.

The importance of pre-workout health check-ups
-
Safety First
Certain symptoms, such as chest pain, difficulty breathing with exertion, palpitations, or unexplained dizziness, can be a sign of heart disease. Your doctor can assess these concerns and recommend the safest way to exercise to avoid complications.

It can be helpful to know your red blood cell count. Low red blood cells, a condition known as anemia, can make you feel tired and hinder your exercise.

Bone density screening is another consideration, especially for people over the age of 50 or those at risk for osteoporosis, which can help tailor an exercise program that strengthens bones without the risk of bone loss or fractures.
What is the screening done?
- Medical history Overall health history, previous injuries and surgeries Medications used and previous lifestyle
- Physical examination Weigh Height Measure body composition Blood pressure monitoring Heart rate and overall fitness level
- Blood test Red blood cell test Metabolic conditions such as sugar, fat, thyroid, liver and kidney function, etc.
"Pre-workout health screenings put you on the path to effective exercise, allowing clinicians to identify potential risks and create personalized exercise plans that optimize health and fitness goals. A safe and enjoyable experience."
