Questions for your doctor on exercise benefits

Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to exercise benefits:

  1. What exercise program do you recommend for me?

  2. Should I consult a personal trainer? Can you recommend one?

  3. Does exercise pose any risks for me?

  4. Should I exercise on days I don’t feel well?

  5. What types of exercise are appropriate for my child?

  6. Do any of my medical conditions restrict my ability to exercise?

  7. At what level of intensity should I start?

  8. Could any of my medications interfere with a regular exercise program?

  9. Is it safe to exercise if I am pregnant?

  10. Do I need to test my blood sugar before and after exercise?
