4.3 Medical & Fitness Disclaimer — Please Read Carefully

This is the most important section of these Terms.

• Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program, especially if you have any pre-existing medical condition, are pregnant, are recovering from injury or surgery, or have any concern about your ability to exercise safely.
• Exercise carries an inherent risk of injury, including serious injury. By using this Service, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with physical activity performed as a result of programs, content, or recommendations found here.
• The Injury Assistant provides general educational information. It is not a diagnostic tool, does not replace professional medical evaluation, and should never be relied upon in place of seeking care from a licensed healthcare provider — especially in a medical emergency, where you should contact emergency services immediately.
• Calculator results (1RM, macros, body fat, etc.) are estimates based on standard formulas and general population data. They are not personalized medical or nutritional prescriptions and may not be accurate for your individual physiology.
