Q:
My muscles were sore a day or two after my Posture
Pump
®
session. Is this normal?
A:
Just like performing any new exercise, an aggressive workout
with Posture Pump
®
can temporarily make you sore. To reduce
this occurrence, inflate the unit at lower levels and keep your ses-
sions under 10-minutes for the first 2 weeks. This will allow your
body to gradually adapt to more aggressive sessions.
