Exercise & Fitness
Are you medically ready?

Before beginning any exercise program, make sure you discuss your medical preparedness for exercise with your doctor. For some people, exercise can pose serious health risks, so it’s important to talk with your doctor about when it is safe to begin exercise and what kinds of exercise are right for you.

Reading through The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) to help you assess your current medical status in relation to exercise.

* We recommend that your see your physician before starting any exercise routine, particularly if you have not exercised recently.

If you have any questions about weight loss surgery and our support program, please call us at (206) 368-1350, or send us an email.
