  1. The exercise programme is desiged to place a gradually increasing workload on the cardiovascular and muscular systems and thereby improve their function.

There is a risk of certain changes that might occur during or following the exercise. These changes could relate to blood pressure or heart rate.
  2. It is a client's responsibility to inform their Trainer of any conditions or changes in their health (medical and physical), now and ongoing, which might affect their ability to exercise safely and with minimal risk of injury.</t>
