Can I participate in The Challenge if I'm pregnant or injured?
No matter who you are, if you have an injury, your pregnant (or post-partum), or even if you just haven’t exercised in a while… It’s recommended that you consult with your medical practitioner before commencing the program.
Mark & Lauren have spent countless hours refining and creating these training programs to ensure they are safe, effective and efficient when it comes to helping you with your health and fitness goals, but every body is different and you might need to monitor your participation in line with your medical practitioner’s advice.
