Please Read Prior to Starting Any Exercise Pro g r a m
All exercise carries some element of risk. To reduce risk please con-
sult with your personal physician to see if you require a complete
physical exam. This is especially important if you’re a male over 40
years of age, a female over 50, 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 prescription medications, smoke or have prob-
lems 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 program. Even with medical clearance, the risk associated
with exercise can never be reduced to zero.
