Safety notes
- Check with your doctor or physiotherapist before starting, especially with heart disease, uncontrolled blood pressure or blood sugar, recent surgery or new pain.
- Keep to a pace where you can talk. Mild muscle effort is normal; sharp or increasing pain is a sign to stop.
Stop and get help if you notice
- Chest pain, pressure or tightness (call emergency services if it does not go away quickly with rest)
- Shortness of breath that is much worse than usual or does not settle with rest
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint or blurred vision
- A heartbeat that feels very fast, pounding or irregular, or new muscle weakness (possible potassium problem; seek care urgently)
