• Puberty, pregnancy and lactation are three physiological changes in women when fat deposition occurs naturally while passing through any of these stages. They have to be watchful during these phases. • As Vrushali has rightly mentioned, a thorough medical check-up before taking up this Pattern will be in your interest. Apart from confirming your fitness to carry out these exercises, such a check-up by your qualified physician will also highlight any irregularities in your body that may not be apparent or visible in normal life. It will help you avoid further complications. • You should exercise at one particular time every day. It will ensure that your muscles get a rest of 24 hours to recover.

I have no doubts that, if followed conscientiously, this Pattern will give you good and long lasting results. It is said that to get cured from your doctor you must have total faith in him. Likewise, trust completely in this Pattern and rest assured to be successful! I wish Vrushali every success in her mission to guide people in reducing their obesity and upgrading their fitness to enjoy life! I also wish all the readers success in achieving their goals!
