Hedstrom SURGE 3.0 User manual

1. Before starting this or any other exercise program 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 pre-existing health problems, back problems or balance impairments. If
you are taking medication which may affect your heart rate, a physician’s advice
is absolutely essential.
2. Start out slowly and progress sensibly. Progress at a pace that is comfort-
able for you. This manual is intended to show you the guiding principles of the
Surge®workout and how to begin utilizing the hydro-movement of the water
through the Surge®. Begin with the easiest variation of each exercise and
progress to more difficult variations only when you are ready.
3. Do not overexert yourself.
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.
4. Warm up before any exercise program by doing 5 to 10 minutes of graduated,
low level, muscle movement followed by stretching to ensure that your muscles
are properly warmed up.
5. Inspect the equipment. Before each use, visually inspect the equipment for
wear or leaking. Never use the equipment if it’s damaged or not working
properly.
6. Use this equipment only for the stated intended use as directed by this
manual, video or other Surge®certification. Do not modify the equipment
or use it in a way not recommended by the manufacturer.
