1. Before EACH use, visually inspect the
equipment. Never use this equipment if
it is not working properly or if there are
damaged or worn parts. Call our Customer
Service Department with any questions.
2. Consult your physician before starting
this or any other exercise program.
Fitness training can result in serious or
fatal injury. Risk of injury can be lessened
when safe techniques and common sense
are practiced. Before beginning your
first workout, become familiar with the
Perfect Weight Vest and review all exercise
guidelines prior to using the equipment.
If you have any questions consult your
physician. Your physician should assist
you in determining the target heart rate
zone appropriate for your age and physical
condition. Certain exercise programs or
types of equipment may not be appropriate
for all people. This is especially important
for people over the age of 35, pregnant
women, or those with preexisting health
problems or wrist, elbow, shoulder or other
joint and/or muscle impairments. If you
are taking medication that may affect your
heart rate, a physician’s advice is absolutely
essential before use of this equipment.
3. Warm up before any exercise program
by doing 5 to 10 minutes of gentle aerobic
exercise, such as walking, followed by
stretching.
4. Start out slowly and progress sensibly.
Even if you are an experienced exerciser,
start with the easier modifications of the
exercise and become familiar with all of
the exercises before moving on to more
advanced modifications.
5. Use caution if engaged in movements like
jumping, sprinting or other explosive
plyometric movements. These exercises add
additional stress to your body. Perform these
exercises with extreme care and start with
a very light weight to allow your body to
become conditioned to this added stress. If
you experience any pain or discomfort while
performing these exercises stop immediately
and return to conventional, non-impact
exercises. If pain or discomfort persists
please contact your physician.
6. Do not overexert yourself with this or any
other exercise program. Listen to your
body and respond to any reactions you may
be having. You must learn to distinguish
“good” pain, like fatigue, from “bad” pain,
which hurts. If you experience any pain
or tightness in your chest, an irregular
heartbeat, dizziness, nausea, or shortness
of breath, stop exercising at once and
consult your physician immediately.
7.
Use this equipment ONLY for the intended use
as described by the manufacturer. DO NOT
modify the equipment or use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Have plenty of clearance space. It is
important to keep children, pets, furniture
and other objects out of the way when
working out with this equipment. You should
have a minimum of 3 feet of clearance space
to avoid unnecessary physical contact.
9. Wear appropriate clothing when exercising.
Workout clothing should be comfortable and
lightweight, and should allow freedom of
movement. Wear comfortable athletic shoes
made of good support with non-slip soles,
such as running or aerobic shoes.
10. Do not add weights that are not
recommended by the manufacturer.
11. Not recommended for children under
the age of 14. Adult supervision required
if under the age of 18.
FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS STATED IN THIS USER GUIDE MAY RESULT
IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
