should assist you in determining the target heart rate
zone appropriate for your age and physical condition.
Certain exercise programs or types of equipment may
not be appropriate for all people. This is especially
important for people over the age of 35, pregnant
women, or those with pre-existing health problems
or balance impairments. If you are taking medication
which may affect your heart rate, a physician's advice
is absolutely essential.
2) Start out slowly and progress sensibly.
Even if you are an experienced exerciser, start with the
basic workout and become familiar with all of the exer-
cises before moving on to more advanced workouts or
exercises. For best results, perform all of the exercises
at the tempo demonstrated in the video.
3) Do not overexert yourself with this or any other

in your chest, an irregular heartbeat, dizziness,
nausea, or shortness of breath, stop exercising at
once and consult your physician immediately.
