“Regular physical activity is fun, healthy and increasingly popular. Exercise is safe for most people. However, as with all exercise programs, you need to use common sense. We recommend you see a doctor before beginning any physical exertion and to cease activity if you feel pain, nausea or experience shortness of breath, lightheadedness or a tingling sensation in your extremities. Please make sure your exercise space is clear and that there are no objects in your way. A good rule of thumb is to clear a space that allows you to walk four steps back and forth and side to side. By participating in these activities, you are participating at your own risk and the City of Cedarburg shall not be responsible in the event of injury.”
