I've got an old sports injury - is it safe?
If you have any concerns at all you should first check with a doctor or physio about starting to exercise again. We encourage everyone to work at their own pace and never push anyone harder than they can go, but if you have an injury that has not healed properly the challenge like any exercise will be likely to stress it.
