■ Important Notes Before Stretching

Do not hold your breath while stretching. Aim to exhale as you stretch your muscles.

Do not stretch in a position that causes strong pain to your muscles.
*This can cause damage to your muscles or nerves.
■ How to Perform Stretching Exercises
To ensure your safety, make sure to perform stretching exercises for 30 to 60 seconds per pose (on both legs), before using the
device. Using the device without prior stretching can cause damage to your muscles or nerves.

get on the device.
4. Extend your knees
gradually.
5. Once you feel
comfortable, straighten your
knees fully.

with straight knees can
cause people with tight
calves to experience pain
and become unable to
stand up. Make sure to
bend your knees before
getting on the device.
*Extend your knees
gradually, without forcing
the movement.
*The perfect position is
when you experience a
mild ache in your muscles.
Do not hold a position
that causes you strong
pain.

stand up straight, take
your hands off the wall.

wall, and slowly put one
foot at a time on the
device.

Adjusting the Load on the Muscles
The main body of the device does not provide a function for adjusting the resistance. However, the load
on the muscles can be varied by using the device in different was.
Low Load
Place the device by your feet.
This position creates a low
load on the muscles.
High Load
Place the device some distance in
front of your feet.
This position creates a high load on
the muscles.
●
Device and Chair Position
●
Feet Position
The closer your heels are to the
C guide frame, the greater the
load on the muscles.

Foot Press Depth and Speed
The deeper and faster the foot
presses down, the stronger the
load on the muscles.
In addition to the effect on your
legs, this can also be effective
for working your abdominal
muscles.
