Exercise safety
Stop exercising immediately if you experience chest pain or pressure, dizziness, fainting, severe shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, or sharp pain, and seek medical attention. Use proper form, warm up, use safety equipment (such as safety bars when lifting heavy), and train within your abilities. If you are unsure how to perform an exercise, seek guidance from a certified trainer.

Meal plans and calorie numbers are general examples based on estimated values. Individual needs vary. People with food allergies, intolerances or medical conditions should consult a registered dietitian. Very low-calorie diets should only be followed under medical supervision.
Results vary
Results from exercise and nutrition depend on many factors, including genetics, age, starting point, consistency, sleep and health status. We make no guarantees about specific results.
