SAFETY TIPS

Consult with your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise. Know your heart rate and/or pulse as well as your physician-recommended heart rate training zone. Proper medical clearance is recommended for anyone beginning an exercise program especially if you are 35 years of age or older or suffer from heart respiratory problems.

- Warm-up before any exercise program with 8 minutes of aerobic-like activity followed by stretching from head to toe.

- Wear comfortable clothes that allow freedom of movement and are not tight or restricting.

- Wear comfortable shoes made with good support and non-slip soles.

- Breathe naturally, never holding your breath during an exercise.

- Perform exercises consistently with proper technique and pass through a full range of motion.

- Increase resistance by adding heavier weights. Decrease resistance by using lighter weights.

- Always use a spotter for safety.

- Avoid over-training. You should be able to carry on a conversation while exercising.

- After an exercise session. Cool down with slow stretching, cycling or walking.
