    No. None at all. Exercise helps to reduce cholesterol so there is no such a thing as exercise that you should not do.

    There are no restrictions, but it's a good idea to see your GP before starting a new exercise regime, especially if you have any chronic medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, or known heart disease, or are on any regular medications. If you experience symptoms such as chest pain or difficulty breathing you should stop and seek your GP's advice.
