SAFETY INFORMATION PRECAUTIONS The vibration machine has been designed and constructed to provide maximum safety. Nevertheless, certain precautions should be taken when using exercise equipment. Read the whole manual before assembling and using the vibration machine. Please observe the following safety precautions: 1. Keep children and pets away from this equipment at all times. DO NOT leave them unsupervised in the room where the vibration machine is kept. 2.
SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED This product must be grounded. If it malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will provide a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This cord must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Danger – Improper use can result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Check with a qualified electrician to ensure the product is properly grounded.
EXERCISE INSTRUCTION Use of the vibration machine offers various benefits; it can improve fitness, muscle tone, flexibility and circulation. When used in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet, it can help you lose weight. 1. Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program. It is advisable to undergo a complete physical examination. 2. Exercise at recommended level. Do not over exert yourself. 3. If you feel any pain or discomfort, stop exercising immediately and consult your doctor. 4.
TRAINING GUIDELINES Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual. Listed among its benefits are: • Increased capacity for physical work (strength endurance) • Increased cardiovascular (heart and arteries/veins) and respiratory efficiency • Decreased risk of coronary heart disease • Changes in body metabolism, e.g. losing weight • Delaying the physiological effects of age • Reduction in stress, increase in self-confidence, etc.
OXYGEN UPTAKE The effort that you can exert over a prolonged period of time is limited by your ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles. Regular vigorous exercise produces a training effect that can increase your aerobic capacity by as much as 20 to 30%. An increased VO2 Max indicates an increased ability of the heart to pump blood, of the lungs to ventilate oxygen, and of the muscles to take up oxygen.
HEART RATE As you exercise, your heart beat increases. This is often used as a measure of the required intensity of an exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to condition your circulatory system, and increase your pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart. Your initial level of fitness is important when developing an exercise program for you. When starting, you can get a good training effect with a heart rate of 110-120 beats per minute (BPM).
MUSCLE SORENESS For the first week or so, muscle soreness may be the only indication you have that you are on an exercise program. This, of course, does depend on your overall fitness level. A confirmation that you are on the correct program is a very slight soreness in most major muscle groups. This is quite normal and will disappear in a matter of days. If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a program that is too advanced, or you have increased your program too rapidly.
