FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS STATED
IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND ON THE WORKOUT CHART MAY
RESULT IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
1) Before EACH use, visually inspect equipment
and all parts to ensure they are working properly.
NEVER use this equipment if it is not working
properly or if there are any signs of wear such as
frayed, cut, gouged or worn tubing, handles or
anchors. Call Customer Service with any questions
or concerns regarding use.
2) Consult your physician before starting this or
any other exercise program. Fitness training can
result in serious injury or death. Risk of injury can
be lessened when safe technique and common
sense are practiced. Before beginning your first
workout, become familiar with the Perfect Bands
Set 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 muscle
impairments. If you are taking medication which
may affect your heart rate, a physician’s advice is
absolutely essential.
3) Tubing contains natural rubber latex which may
cause allergic reactions, such as mild itching, skin
redness or hives. The allergic reactions may also
be life threatening, such as anaphylactic shock,
which can cause a drop in blood pressure, difficulty
breathing, blueness of your skin, or even loss of
consciousness. Seek medical attention immediately
if you think you are experiencing any reaction to the
latex.
4)
ONLY PERFORM THE EXERCISES SHOWN ON
THE WORKOUT CHART.
Performing exercises or
movements not specifically shown may overstretch
the bands. NEVER stretch bands more than two
times band length. Overstretching the bands can
cause the band/s to separate from the cloth loops,
resulting in serious injury to your eyes and/or other
body parts.
5) Handicapped or disabled people must have
medical approval before using this equipment and
should be under close supervision when using any
exercise equipment.
6) Start out slowly and progress sensibly. Even if
you are an experienced exerciser, start with the
easier modifications of the exercises and become
familiar with all of the exercises before moving
on to more advanced modifications.
7) 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.
8) Breathe naturally, never holding your breath during
an exercise. Avoid over-training, you should be able to
carry on a conversation while exercising.
9) Warm up before any exercise program by doing 5 to
10 minutes of gentle aerobic exercise, such as walking,
followed by stretching.
10) 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.
11) Have plenty of clearance space. It is important to
keep children, pets, furniture and other objects out of
the way when using your equipment. You should have a
minimum of 3 feet of clearance space.
12) 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.
13) THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT FOR USE BY
CHILDREN. To prevent injuries, keep this and all
fitness equipment out of the reach of children. Follow
