Workout Tips
∙ Extending the knee and elbow
joint will cause more vibration
travel. To minimize this effect,
avoid locking the joints and
maintain a soft bend in the knee.
∙ Avoid putting pressure on heels,
knees and elbows, which can
cause additional vibration travel
to the head.
∙ Be cautious of overtraining
as it may be taxing to the
nervous system.
∙ Stay hydrated and keep
sugar level elevated.
∙ Keep feet flat.
∙ Avoid putting your head on
the machine.
∙ Avoid direct contact with your
spine during strengthening
exercises.
