Published:Wednesday | September 13, 2017 | 6:12 PMMarvin Gordon

Last week, we presented a training programme designed to get you started on The Gleaner's Fit 4 Life 12-Week Lifestyle/Fitness Challenge. This week, we take it a step further for those who are more advanced.

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR

Keep in mind that although moderate physical activity is safe for most people, we suggest that you talk to a doctor or health-care professional before you start any exercise programme, especially if you:

- are older than 35 years.

- have a family history of heart disease before age 60.

- smoke or you quit smoking in the last six months.

- don't normally exercise.

- are significantly overweight.

- have high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

- have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or you have impaired glucose tolerance – also called prediabetes.

- have any serious illness or symptoms of serious illness, e.g. shortness of breath, dizziness, light-headedness, chest pains.

Now, check out the workout charts attached and get going.
