About exercise programmes:
Exercise programmes are designed to improve cardiovascular (heart and lungs) fitness, muscle strength and endurance as well as flexibility. Programmes may include physical activities such as running, stretching, lifting weights and using gym equipment/ machines. Each part of the programme will be fully explained to you but please ask questions if you are not clear about anything. Please notify the instructor if you feel you should not do a particular exercise for any reason.
This form should be signed and passed to your instructor prior to taking part in the exercise programme. Exercise programmes contain certain risks such as muscle strains, joint sprains, aches, pains and general discomfort from parts of the body not used to exercise. The programme is designed to minimise these risks, however, if at any time during the exercise programme you feel pain, discomfort or you feel unwell you must stop and inform the instructor immediately.
I hereby confirm that I have read, understood and answered all the questions on the PAR-Q accurately and to the best of my knowledge. I confirm that I wish to participate in this exercise programme and realise that the activities involve an element of risk of injury or even death.
