If you answer NO to all the health questions
If you answer NO honestly to all the PAR-Q questions, you can reasonably be sure that you can start becoming much more physically active – begin slowly and build up gradually.
- If you are not used to physical activity, start with the Level 1 exercises in the workouts.
- If you are normally physically active, choose Level 2 or Level 3 depending on your current ability. If in doubt, start at the lower level; you can always progress if it is too easy. This is the safest way to proceed.
Delay becoming much more physically active:
- if you are not feeling well because of a temporary illness such as a cold or a fever – wait until you feel better.
- if you are or may be pregnant – talk to your doctor before you start becoming more active.
If you answer YES to one or more health questions
It is advised you talk to your doctor BEFORE you start to become more physically active. Tell the doctor about the PAR-Q and which questions you answered YES to.
You may be able to do any activity you want – as long as you start off slowly and build up gradually. Or you may need to restrict your activities to those that are safe to you. Talk to your doctor about the kinds of activities you wish to participate in and follow his/her advice.
Please note:
- If your health changes so that you then would answer YES to any of the health questions, please contact me to ask ask about whether you should continue with the workouts.
- If you answer Yes to any of the health questions below but participate in my online workouts without consulting your doctor or you are 70 or over, you do so at your own risk.
