Please Read Prior to Starting Any Exercise Program
All exercise carries some element of risk. To reduce risk please
consult with your personal physician to see if you require a complete
physical exam. This is especially important if you’re over 35 years
of age, have never exercised before, are pregnant, have a chronic
illness, a history of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, prior
chest discomfort, under the care of a physician and taking prescrip-
tion medications, smoke or have problems with your back, joints or
muscles.
In no way is this workout guide intended to be used as a substitute for
medical counseling. If you are healthy, begin by gradually increasing
your activity level. Always use care when exercising and stop at the
first sign of pain. See a doctor prior to restarting your exercise pro-
gram. Even with medical clearance, the risk associated with exercise
can never be reduced to zero.
