To familiarize yourself with the StretchTrainer and
basic stretching techniques, review the instructional
placard and the following safety information.
z Before beginning any fitness program, see your
physician for a complete physical examination.
z If you do not understand how to operate the
equipment, ask someone from the club such as
a trainer to demonstrate how to use it and explain
the safety information.
z Before using the StretchTrainer, always check for
loose, worn, or frayed parts. If you spot a potential
problem, do not use the StretchTrainer. If it is a
club unit, inform the club immediately.
z Wear comfortable exercise clothing and soft-soled
shoes for your workout and avoid loose clothing.
Tie long hair back.
z Always hold the handlebars while stretching. Do
not attempt a stretch using only the wrist straps.
z Use the wrist straps at all times while on the
StretchTrainer. The wrist straps may help reduce
the risk of injury by decreasing the chance of over
stretching or falling should you lose your grip on
the handlebar. Refer to Diagram 1.
z Do not over stretch, force a stretch, or bounce
during a stretch.
z Do not overexert yourself or try to do all the
stretches shown on the instructional placard the
first time you use the StretchTrainer. Start your
stretching routine slowly and conservatively. With
practice and increased flexibility, you can add
more stretches and repetitions to your routine.
z When you have completed your stretching routine,
verify that the seat is returned to the forward
position.
z Do not rock the equipment. Do not stand on the
handlebars, instructional placard, or the padded
seat.
z Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
If you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop
your workout immediately and consult your
physician.
