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 beginner workout and become familiar with all
of the exercises before moving on to more advanced
workouts or exercises. For best results, perform all of
the exercises at the tempo demonstrated in the DVD.
3) Do not overexert yourself with this or any other
exercise program. Listen to your body and respond to
any reactions you may be having. You must learn to dis-
tinguish "good" pain, like fatigue, from "bad" pain, which
hurts. If you experience any pain or tightness in
your chest, an irregular heartbeat, dizziness,
nausea, or shortness of breath, stop exercising at
once and consult your physician immediately.
