Fitness & Flexibility

Moderate exercise is safe for most people, but you should talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program, especially if you have an ongoing condition or injury. With all forms of exercise, it’s wise to start slowly, listen to your body, and increase duration and intensity gradually. If your doctor advised you of a movement or positioning precaution and has pre-approved your participation in a fitness class, always tell your instructor before class the first time you attend so that instructor can guide you with modifications.
