The Overload Principle
In order to see results, you must challenge your body. When you work out on a regular basis
adjusting to new level increases muscle toning. It's called increasing local metabolic
efficiency. As a result, your muscles work better and you strengthen your body. If you keep
working at the same level the metabolic efficiency does not increase above that level.
You’re at
the plateau. You will need to increase the duration of the exercises. Thus, in order to improve
your fitness level, you must progressively increase your work load until you have reached your
personal goal.
Routine
People adapt differently to repetitive exercises. In developing an exercise routine, pay attention
to how you feel especially after an exercise is completed. You may feel tired but you should not
feel exhausted. When you first start exercising, the principal muscles you use will ache slightly,
especially the next day. However, they should not hurt or cramp. No matter what the
recommended exercise routine, never exercise beyond the point of discomfort.
For the first two weeks, you should begin with 5-10 minutes once a day or every other
day. When the exercise no longer feels difficult to you, then the device can be used more
frequently for longer periods of time for maximum benefit. After approximately 3-4 weeks you
should be able to use OxyStepper II for 15-20 minutes without exhaustion. It is important to
realize that over- use can create injuries to the muscles and may cause muscle soreness.
