Consult a Healthcare Professional Before Starting Any Fitness Program.

You should consult your physician or other healthcare professional before beginning this or any other fitness programme to determine if it suits your needs. This is particularly important if you (or your family) have a history of high blood pressure or heart disease, or if you have ever experienced chest pain when exercising or have experienced chest pain in the past month when not engaged in physical activity.

It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional if you:

• smoke,
• have high cholesterol levels,
• are obese,
• have a bone or joint problem that could be exacerbated by a change in physical activity.

Do not start this or any fitness programme if your physician or healthcare provider advises against it.

If you experience faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath while exercising, you should stop immediately.
