Important: If at any time you feel faint, light headed or dizzy, stop
exercising immediately. You should also stop if you experience
undue stress, pressure or pain at any time. See your doctor before
continuing to workout.
This manual provides an overview of some of the
various positions for using the FlexShaper™. Don’t get discouraged if you
can’t exercise for very long at first. Start slow.
Warm-Up
A proper warm-up allows your body to deliver more blood and oxygen
to your muscles. Since warm muscles are more elastic, they are less
susceptible to injury. Warm muscles can also stretch and allow for a
greater rang of motion. Most importantly, warm muscles assist in having
your body utilize fat molecules for energy. The most common way to
warm up your muscles is by walking, riding a bike, or jogging in place for
three to five minutes. The best way to know when your body is warmed
up and prepared for exercise is when your heart rate begins to increase
moderately.
Aerobic Exercise
Continuous aerobic exercise must be incorporated into your lifestyle to
achieve results. Aerobic exercise raises the metabolic rate accelerating
fat loss. Fat starts to be utilized as a source of energy only after 20-30
minutes of continuous exercise. The best exercises keeping the heart rate
in range continuously and with steady exertion levels are: walking, jogging,
stair climbing, and Nordic Track (cross country skiing). Secondary, but still
effective exercises are cycling, stationary bike, and swimming. The goal is to
exercise at a comfortable, yet strenuous enough level. It is best to exercise
at a level where a conversation can still be held and always follow the F.I.T.
principles:
Frequency
(at least 3 times per week, preferably 5 times)
Intensity
(at least 50% of your Maximum Heart Rate)
Time
