As with all exercise programs and when using exercise videos, you need to use common sense. To reduce and avoid injury, you will want to check with your doctor before beginning any fitness program. If you engage in this video or exercise program, you agree that you do so at your own risk, you are voluntarily participating in these activities, and you assume all risk of injury to yourself.
