IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1) Before starting this or any other exercise
program, consult your physician.
Your physician
should assist you in determining the target heart rate
zone appropriate for your age and physical condition.
Certain exercise programs or types of equipment may
not be appropriate for all people. This is especially
important for people over the age of 35, pregnant
women, or those with pre-existing health problems
or balance impairments.
If you are taking med i ca tion
which may affect your heart rate,
a physician's
advice is ab so lute ly essential.
2) Start out slowly and progress sensibly.
Even if you are an experienced exerciser, start with
the beginner workout and become familiar with all
of the exercises before moving on to more advanced
workouts or exercises. For best results, perform all of
the exercises at the tempo demonstrated in the video.
3) Do not overexert yourself with this or any other
exercise program.
Listen to your body and respond
to any reactions you may be having. You must learn to
distinguish “good” pain, like fatigue, from “bad” pain,
which hurts.
If you experience any pain or tightness
in your chest, an irregular heartbeat, dizziness,
nausea, or shortness of breath, stop exercising at
once and consult your physician immediately.
4) Warm up
before any exercise program by doing 5 to
10 minutes of aerobic activity, followed by stretching.
5) Before EACH use, visually inspect the equipment.
Never operate the equipment if the equipment is
not functioning properly.
6) USE CARE when getting on and off the equipment

It is important to keep children,
pets, furniture and other objects out of the way when

should allow freedom of movement. Wear comfortable
athletic shoes made of good support with non-slip soles,
such as running or aerobic shoes.

headphones while you work out.

never holding your breath during an
exercise. Avoid over training. You should be able
to carry on a conversation while exercising.
