Health Questionnaire

Regular physical activity is fun and healthy. Being more active is very safe for most people however the questions below will highlight if you should be consulting a doctor before taking part in a Pilates exercise class.

Common sense is always a good guide but please read the questions below carefully and answer honestly:

• Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity when recommended by a doctor? Y/N
• Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity? Y/N
• In the past month, have you had a chest pain when you were not doing physical activity? Y/N
• Do you lose balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness? Y/N
• Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity? Y/N
• Is your doctor currently prescribing you drugs for your blood pressure or heart? Y/N
• Do you know any other reason why you should not do physical activity? Y/N

If you have answered ‘YES’ to any of the above please provide details.
