Medical Information / Advice?

We advise that you talk with your GP before taking on any kind of drastic changes to diet or activity levels. We have some questions below if you answer yes to any of them we would highly advise that you discuss it with your GP and get medical clearance and some information on any possible limitations you may face. If you answer no to all of the questions, you can be reasonably sure that you can exercise safely and have a low risk of having any medical complications from the plan.
