You should consult your physician or other health care professional before making any new health or lifestyle decisions, including modifications to your diet, exercise program, supplements taken or not taken, to determine if it is right for your needs.
Be cautious about supplements: they often have powerful effects. Be sure to tell your doctor about any supplements you are taking and ask about potential interactions with medications.
If you have a history of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or have experienced pain while exercising, or if you have a known bone, joint or muscle problem, you should be cautious about adjusting your exercise or fitness routine, and you should consult your doctor about any such adjustments, and especially if the symptoms recur.
If you experience faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath at any time while exercising you should stop immediately.
