The Services Provided in the Courses Do Not Constitute Medical Advice or Other Professional Healthcare Advice. Although YourFitnessDietitian & its affiliates or partners provide their products and services with your health and safety in mind, each individual has their own limitations and it is therefore critical that you consult your physician or other licensed healthcare provider for necessary medical or appropriate care, follow all safety and other instructions provided, and obtain appropriate authorization before accessing or using any of the Services or Products, especially if you are prone to injuries, are pregnant or nursing, or have any other unique or special medical conditions. 

​

You should consult your physician before starting this or any other health program to determine if it is right for your needs. This is particularly true if you (or your family) have a history of high blood pressure or heart disease, or if you have ever experienced chest pain when exercising or have experienced chest pain in the past month when not engaged in physical activity, smoke, have high cholesterol, are obese, or have a bone or joint problem that could be made worse by a change in physical activity. Do not start this fitness program if your physician or health care provider advises against it. If you experience faintness, dizziness, pain or shortness of breath at any time while exercising you should stop immediately.
