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 medication
which may affect your heart rate, 
a physician's advice
is absolutely 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 DVD.

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 dis-
tinguish “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 gentle aerobic exercise, such as walking,
followed by stretching.

5) Before EACH use, visually inspect the equipment.

your equipment. It is important to keep children, pets,
furniture and other objects out of the way when using
your equipment. You should have a minimum of 3
feet of clearance both in front of and behind
your equipment.

9) Wear appropriate clothing when exercising. Workout

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

11) Breathe naturally, never holding your breath during

an exercise. Avoid over training, you should be able to
carry on a conversation while exercising.

12) Cool down after an exercise session, with 5 to 10

minutes of gentle exercise, such as walking, followed by
stretching.
