Persistent progress requires persistent effort.
If there's no sacrifice, there's no reward. All forms of exercise pose some inherent risks. The editors and publisher advise readers to take full responsibility for their safety and know their limits. Before practicing the exercises in this book, be sure that your equipment is well-maintained, and do not take risks beyond your level of experience, aptitude, training and fitness. The programs in this book are not intended as a substitute for any exercise routine or treatment that may have been prescribed by your doctor.
