This is general information, not advice

The exercise guides on this site are written by the developer of Alea, who is not a doctor, physiotherapist, or certified strength and conditioning coach. They describe widely documented techniques for common bodyweight exercises. They are not medical advice, physiotherapy, rehabilitation guidance, or a personalised training programme, and nothing on this site should be treated as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who has assessed you.

Consult a professional first

Speak to a doctor or another qualified professional before beginning any new exercise programme, and particularly if any of the following apply to you:

• You are pregnant, recently gave birth, or are postpartum
• You are recovering from injury, surgery or illness
• You have a heart condition, high blood pressure, or have been advised to limit physical activity
• You have joint, back, neck, shoulder or wrist problems
• You experience chest pain, dizziness or fainting during exertion
• You are returning to exercise after a long absence, or are unsure of your current fitness

Stop if something is wrong

Stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, nausea, chest tightness or unusual shortness of breath, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Discomfort from effort is normal; sharp, sudden or joint pain is not.

Some movements carry more risk than others

The exercise pool includes advanced movements. Muscle-ups, handstand holds, pistol squats, box jumps and L-sit holds demand strength, mobility and skill that take time to build, and are more likely to cause injury when attempted too early or with poor technique. Every guide includes an easier variation. Use it. Alea is designed so you can restrict the exercise die and stop advanced movements appearing at all.

Your responsibility

You take part in any exercise entirely at your own risk. You are responsible for judging whether a movement is appropriate for you, for using suitable and stable equipment, and for training in a safe environment. Alea Labs accepts no liability for any injury, loss or damage arising from use of this information or of the Alea app, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Nothing in this notice limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
