SUGGESTED TRAINING GUIDELINES

Warning: Before beginning this or any exercise program. Consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. Read all instructions before using.

STEP 1: WARM UP

Warm up by stretching for at least 5-10 minutes. When performing these stretches, your movement should be smooth and slow, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the strecht until you feel a slight tension, not pain. Be sure not to hold your breath. Remember that all stretches must be done for both sides of your body.

QUADRICEPS STRETCH

Stand close to a wall, chair or another solid object, use one hand to assist your balance. Bend your knee and bring your heel toward your buttock. Reach for your ankle with your hand. Stand straight and feel a slight pull along the front of your thigh and hip. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, release and repeat on the other leg. Be careful not to strain your knee – the goal is not to touch your heel to the buttock, but rather to stretch the thigh.

CALF & ACHILLES STRETCH

Stand about an arm’s length from a wall, chair or another sturdy object. Lean forward and place both hands on the wall or object abot shoulder width apart. Extend one foot (the side to be stretched) behind you with your knee bent and heel on the ground. Keep the other foot closer to the wall or object. Lean in slightly and bend the knee of the heel to be stretched (keeping the heel down) until you feel a stretch in the back of the tower leg (just above the heel). Sink down slowly with your hips to deepen the stretch. Hold this stretch for about the 30 seconds, release and repeat on the other side.

OVERHEAD/TRICEPS STRETCH

Stand with one arm straight up over your head so that your elbow almost touched your head; bend the arm at the elbow. Reach behind your head and grab the elbow with the opposite hand.
Gently pull back until you feel stretch in your tricep. Hold the stretch for 10 to 15 seconds, breathing normally, release and repeat on the other side.

STEP 2: TRAINING

Arm exercises
Place the unit in front of you on a table. Make sure that the unit is firmly positioned and that both bases are on the table top. Sit upright in front of the device and grip the two pedals with your hands. You can turn the pedals forwards or backwards.

Leg exercises
Place the unit in front of your chair on the floor. Place your feet onto the pedals. The distance between the chair and the device should be sufficient to allow you to bend one leg while the other is stretched during exercise. You have the option of pedalling forwards or backwards.
