7.
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 cross-training or aerobic shoes. For some exercises, you may
be instructed to exercise in your bare feet. Never exercise in socks,
stockings, etc.
8.
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.
9.
Read and follow the guidelines in this manual before performing any of
the BOSU® Elite exercises provided in videos and other content.
Correct exercise technique will help you get the results you want and keep
you exercising safely. Do not use your BOSU® Elite until you have read this
manual completely.
10.
Start out slowly and progress sensibly
. Before beginning any workouts,
become acclimated with the dynamic surface of the BOSU® Elite by slowly
stepping on and off the dome, practicing standing in the Power Zone™
until you are comfortable, etc. Once you become acclimated, start with
the beginner workout and become familiar with all of the exercises before
moving on to more advanced workouts or exercises.
11.
STANDING ON THE PLATFORM SIDE OF THE BOSU® ELITE IS NOT
RECOMMENDED. IT IS AN ADVANCED EXERCISE AND INCREASES
YOUR RISK OF FALLING WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. IF
YOU CHOOSE TO STAND ON THE PLATFORM SIDE, YOU DO SO AT
YOUR OWN RISK. DO NOT STAND ON THE PLAFORM SIDE IF YOU
ARE UNWILLING TO ACCEPT THE INCREASED RISK OF FALLING
AND INJURY.
12. The dynamic surface of the BOSU® Elite can enhance fitness training in
a number of ways, but it is important to remember that it is still highly
unstable and the potential for a fall that may result in injury does exist.
Move slowly and with control throughout the workout.
To reduce the
likelihood of a fall, simply step off the BOSU® Elite safely to the floor if
you feel that you are losing your balance at any time.
