Policy Notes: Like newspapers, magazines and television, Senior Exercise Central and the Gray Iron Fitness Newsletter contain advertising and affiliate marketing links.

The newsletter and Senior Exercise Central provide information to help users establish and maintain a fitness lifestyle. But fitness information is not the same as fitness advice, which is the application of exercise and dietary practices to an individual's specific circumstances. Therefore, always consult with your physician for assurance that fitness information, and your interpretation of it, is appropriate for you.
