This guide is educational information about fitness and mobility — it is not medical or fitness advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified doctor or physiotherapist. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have a heart condition, recent surgery, balance problems, dizziness, or a chronic illness. Move within your own limits and stop if you feel pain, chest discomfort, severe breathlessness, or dizziness. For a fall with injury, or signs of a heart problem or stroke, call 911.
