BOSU BALANCE TRAINER NEXGEN El Manual Del Propietario página 5

10) Start out slowly and progress sensibly. Before beginning any workouts, become acclimated
with the dynamic surface of the BOSU
dome, practicing the "centered" position, etc. Once you become acclimated, start with the
beginner workout and become familiar with all of the exercises before moving on to more
advanced workouts or exercises.
11) The dynamic surface of the BOSU Balance Trainer can enhance fitness training in a number
®
of ways but it is important to remember that it is still highly unstable and the potential for a
fall that may result in injury does exist. Move slowly and with control throughout the workout.
To reduce the likelihood of a fall, simply step off of the BOSU
to the floor if you feel that you are losing your balance at anytime.
12) Standing on platform is not recommended. It is an advanced exercise that increases the
risk of a fall resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
13) Make sure the BOSU Balance Trainer is set on a non-slip, level surface with adequate
®
clearance space around you. You should have enough space to lie in a face up, face down,
or sidelying position on top of the dome, and to be able to step off safely in any direction.
Make sure that if you lost your balance and fell, you would not hit any nearby objects.
To reduce the risk of injury if a fall were to occur, use a mat or exercise pad on wood
or other hard surfaces.
14) Wipe sweat off the vinyl surface of the BOSU
and while working out as needed. Not unlike a wet basketball floor, sweat will make the
dome surface slippery. Use a towel to wipe sweat off the dome if necessary. A dry BOSU
Balance Trainer provides for a safer and more effective training environment.
15) Warm up before any exercise program by doing 5 to 10 minutes of gentle aerobic exercise,
such as walking, followed by stretching.
16) Cool down after an exercise session, with 5 to 10 minutes of gentle exercise, such as
walking, followed by stretching.
17) The BOSU Balance Trainer is not a toy. Children must be supervised by an adult
®
familiar with the proper use of this product. To prevent injuries, keep this and all
fitness equipment out of the reach of unsupervised children. Follow these simple rules:
– Keep unsupervised children out of rooms where you have your exercise equipment.
– Store exercise equipment in a room that can be locked.
– Know exactly where your children are when you work out.
– If you have small children at home, don't wear headphones while you work out.
– Talk to your kids about the dangers of exercise equipment.
18) When storing the BOSU Balance Trainer, make sure the dome is not in direct contact
®
with any other surfaces. The dome needs to breathe to prevent sweating (i.e. an oily
residue may appear on the dome), which can cause the dome to be slippery increasing
the likelihood of a fall resulting in injury. If the dome does sweat, follow the cleaning
instructions on page 9.
