recommends consulting a physician for a complete medical exam before beginning any exercise program.
Having a complete medical exam is particularly important if the user has a family history of high blood pressure, has heart
disease, is over the age of 45, smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised regularly in the past year.
If at any time while exercising the user feels faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, he or she must stop immediately.
