These are not meant for children or pregnant women or for people who have been advised to see a provider based on their condition.

This is meant for different fitness levels, so it is best if you stick to what works for you with the best form.

STOP if :

1. You develop new weakness

2. You develop any numbness or tingling down your legs, or it is getting worse. Go back to lower level or other exercises.

3. If you are not able to do it with proper form- go back to the lower level, that may well be all that is needed. Levels are meant for different degrees of pain and capabilities/ abilities of people. Doing a more advanced version does not necessarily help the pain better; it is meant for those who feel the lower levels are too easy.

4. You develop any other heart, lung or other problems including dizziness, chest pain. Check with your Doctor before starting a new exercise program.

If you have unbearable or significantly increased pain with a new exercise than that you are used to, then go back to the lower level or a different exercise. The goal is just to be able to move your body in different ways for longer and longer. It may take days, weeks or months, but try not giving up.
