    Correction: They don't like the term spoken at the NLR terminal. You'll see "reefer" or "refer" on your Qualcomm on messages from the company staff.

    To add to what Tim said the other terminals are more laid back then NLR. I still wouldn't walk on the grass any where.

Like do they make you do excercises or weight lifting before they check it

    As far as I remember, they take your blood pressure first. Kinda pointless to inflate the results, any normal person's blood pressure would be super high after heavy exertion.

    However, they will make you exert yourself heavily and then take your pulse afterwards, I guess it's some kind of measure of your heart health. Mine was 109 after the stairmaster and they said that was fine.
