Based on the available information, it is generally recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting or changing an exercise program while taking Lipitor (atorvastatin)[1]. Lipitor is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels, and it works by lowering the levels of "bad" cholesterol and fats in the blood[1].

Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and can help to lower cholesterol levels, but it is important to ensure that it is safe to exercise while taking Lipitor[2]. Exercise can sometimes cause muscle damage, which can increase the levels of certain enzymes in the blood[2]. Lipitor can also cause muscle damage and increase enzyme levels in some people, so it is important to be cautious when starting or changing an exercise program while taking this medication[2].

It is also important to note that Lipitor can interact with certain other medications, including some that are used to treat muscle pain and inflammation[1]. Exercising while taking Lipitor and one of these medications could increase the risk of muscle damage and enzyme levels[1].

In summary, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting or changing an exercise program while taking Lipitor[1]. This will help to ensure that it is safe to exercise and that any potential risks are minimized[2].
