IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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 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. Even if you are an
experienced exerciser, start with the beginner workout and
become familiar with all of the exercises before moving on
to more advanced workouts or exercises. For best results,
perform all of the exercises at the tempo demonstrated in
the DVD.
3) 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.
4) Warm up before any exercise program by doing 5 to 10
minutes of gentle aerobic exercise, such as walking, followed
by stretching or follow the warm-ups demonstrated on the
Pilates Power Gym® DVD.
5) Before each use, inspect the equipment and all parts,
including cables, tension cords, rollers, pulleys, handle
assemblies and foot strap assemblies to ensure that
they are in proper working condition. Never use the
equipment if it is not working properly or if there are
signs of wear such as frayed or worn cables, tension
cords, pulleys, rollers, handle or foot strap assemblies.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
injury or death.
6) USE CARE when getting on and off the equipment.
7) Use this equipment ONLY for the intended use as
described in this manual. Do not modify the equipment or
use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
8) Have plenty of clearance space on all sides of your
equipment. 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 on
all sides of your equipment.
9) Wear appropriate clothing when exercising. Workout
clothing should be comfortable and lightweight, and should
allow freedom of movement. The Pilates Workout may be
performed with bare feet, or you may wear flexible athletic
shoes if you find that more comfortable. It is not recommended
that you exercise with socks or stockings only on the feet.
Wearing socks or stockings only may cause slippage of the
feet when using the Foot Rest Bar Assembly, Power Flex
Platform or Push Up Bar Assembly.
10) THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN.
To prevent injuries, keep this and all fitness equipment
out of the reach of children. Follow these simple rules:
– Keep children out of rooms where you have
your exercise equipment.
– Store exercise equipment in a room that
can be locked.
– Know exactly where your children are when
you work out.
– If you have small children at home, don’t wear
headphones while you work out.
– Talk to your kids about the dangers of exercise
equipment.
11) Breathe naturally, never holding your breath during an
exercise. Avoid over training, you should be able to carry
on a conversation while exercising.
12) Cool down after an exercise session, with 5 to 10 minutes
of gentle exercise, such as walking, followed by stretching or
follow the cool down stretches demonstrated in the Pilates
Power Gym®DVD.
13) Handicapped or disabled people must have medical
approval before using this equipment and should be under
close supervision when using any exercise equipment.
14) Only one person at a time should use this equipment.
15) DO NOT put hands, feet, or any foreign objects
on or near this equipment when in use by others.
Use caution not to pinch fingers or hands in moving parts
when folding, setting up, or using the equipment.
16) To prevent the Pilates Power Gym®Pro from tipping
and causing an injury, set up and use the equipment on
a solid, level surface and follow the exercise instructions
demonstrated in the DVD and the exercise instructions
described on pages 19 through 34 of this manual. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in serious injury
or death.
