overloading your body. If your body adapts well to
GRT, longer exercise durations of 10-20
mins in total
are possible, and it is also possible to use the ma-
chine every day. Allow adequate rest durations
between exercises. Reducing the rest periods will
contribute to the intensity of the session.
It should also be noted that programs that are
designed for relaxation or flexibility are generally very
low intensity and can be used in addition to a GRT
program or used as an off-day program.
Exercise
It is important you only choose to perform exercises
which are ap- propriate for your ability, and likewise
performing those exercises correctly, as incorrect
posture can cause harm and injury. Switching on your
core muscles by drawing your belly towards your spine,
will increase core stability and help maintain your
posture.
It is important to maintain balance during exercises.
For exercises which use the handles of the machine for
stability, the aim is to be able to perform the exercise
with minimal pressure on the handles as possible. Your
body should be positioned so that if you were to let go
of the handles, you would not lose balance.
Unless otherwise instructed, your weight should be
distributed evenly through your feet left to right, and
front to back. You should not be up on your toes, nor
back on your heels.
You should never stand up tall and lock your knees
during a high intensity GRT machine setting.
