Before beginning a regular exercise program, consult your physician or doctor.

Warning: Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been
sedentary. Before beginning a regular exercise program, consult your physician or
doctor.

There are numerous factors to consider when determining pace limits and exercise intensity
levels. Some of these factors include age, exercise frequency, and overall physical fitness.

In addition to exercise intensity, there are many factors that can increase the risks involved
in exercising, especially if you have high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, or any signs
or symptoms of any disease; if you are recovering from a serious illness or a medical
treatment e.g. surgery; or heart, circulation; or if you use a pacemaker or another implanted
electronic device.

For the built-in pedometer to work accurately, you should strap the phone onto
your waist. The pedometer only works accurately when walking or running. It is
possible to use an optional Bluetooth GPS enhancement for tracking distances
and speed.
