SAFETY FIRST
High Intensity exercise must be approached cautiously in the beginning, a gradual ramp up of intensity is necessary to allow muscle and other cells to adapt to the new demands being placed on them. Failure to pace yourself may lead to injury or death. High intensity exercise can cause Rhabdomyolysis. It is important that you start at a reduced intensity. Brown urine (coke colored), complete muscle weakness and/or swelling of joints are warning signs of a life-threatening condition called Rhabdomyolysis. If you develop these, or any other symptoms, seek medical assistance IMMEDIATELY.

I, the undersigned, acknowledge that I have no physical impairments or illnesses that will endanger myself or others.
