Regular exercise can help you
control your weight, reduce your risk of heart disease, and strengthen your
bones and muscles. But if you haven't exercised for some time and you have
health concerns, you may want to talk to your doctor before starting a new
exercise routine.
When to check with your doctor

such as brisk walking, is safe for most people, health experts suggest that you

following apply:

exertion or at rest, or when lying down or going to bed
· Ankle swelling, especially at
