I am aware that exercise can be physically stressful and in certain instances can even be harmful and result in death. I am also aware that anyone who smokes; has ever had elevated blood pressure; is over 45 (men) or 55 (women) years of age; presently does not exercise; has ever had problems; is susceptible to or has ever had orthopedic problems; or is pregnant, is more at risk while exercising. I understand that I should consult with my personal physician before I begin or continue any exercise program. I also understand it is recommended that I have a physician's consent and/or have my physician identify any limitation on my exercise that I may have if any of these conditions exist. I understand that my participation is voluntary and at my own risk. I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the program. In further consideration of being permitted to participate, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any claim I may have against Mari Anne Auwarter for injury or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in the program. I, my heirs or legal representatives forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue Mari Anne Auwarter for any injury or death caused by their negligence or other acts. I have read the above release and waiver of liability and fully understand it's contents. I voluntarily agree to terms and conditions stated above.
