Introduction
Consulting a Physician
Anyone considering an exercise program or an increase in activity should consult a physician. It is highly
recommended that users follow the guidance of their physician before and during an exercise program or
any other increase in physical activity if they:
•
Have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, or elevated
cholesterol
•
Smoke cigarettes
•
Are currently inactive, are obese, or have any other chronic disease or physical impairment, or if there
is a history of such disease in their family
Neodymium magnets can affect pacemakers.
The strong magnetic fields near a neodymium magnet can affect pacemakers, ICDs and
other implanted medical devices. Many of these devices are made with a feature that
deactivates it with a magnetic field. Therefore, care must be taken to avoid inadvertently
deactivating such devices.
The Importance of Warming Up and Cooling Down
It is important that users gradually warm up, cool down, and incorporate a series of stretches prior to and
at the end of each work out. Stretching encourages the necessary flexibility to help prevent sore muscles
and injury during daily activities.
Do not abruptly end the workout session on the Fit Anti-Gravity Treadmill. The user’s full body weight
should be restored slowly and should include a few minutes of walking at full body weight and low
intensity before stopping the workout session.
