BANDS KIT

FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS STATED
IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND ON THE WORKOUT CHART MAY
RESULT IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
1) Before EACH use, visually inspect equipment
and all parts to ensure they are working properly.
NEVER use this equipment if it is not working
properly or if there are any signs of wear such as
frayed, cut, gouged or worn tubing, handles or
anchors. Call Customer Service with any questions
or concerns regarding use.
2) Consult your physician before starting this or
any other exercise program. Fitness training can
result in serious injury or death. Risk of injury can
be lessened when safe technique and common
sense are practiced. Before beginning your first
workout, become familiar with the Perfect Bands
Set and review all exercise guidelines prior to using
the equipment. If you have any questions 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 preexisting health problems
or wrist, elbow, shoulder or other joint and muscle
impairments. If you are taking medication which
may affect your heart rate, a physician’s advice is
absolutely essential.
3) Tubing contains natural rubber latex which may
cause allergic reactions, such as mild itching, skin
redness or hives. The allergic reactions may also
be life threatening, such as anaphylactic shock,
which can cause a drop in blood pressure, difficulty
breathing, blueness of your skin, or even loss of
consciousness. Seek medical attention immediately
if you think you are experiencing any reaction to the
latex.
4) ONLY PERFORM THE EXERCISES SHOWN ON
THE WORKOUT CHART. Performing exercises or
movements not specifically shown may overstretch
the bands. NEVER stretch bands more than two
times band length. Overstretching the bands can
cause the band/s to separate from the cloth loops,
resulting in serious injury to your eyes and/or other
body parts.
5) Handicapped or disabled people must have
medical approval before using this equipment and
should be under close supervision when using any
exercise equipment.
6) Start out slowly and progress sensibly. Even if
you are an experienced exerciser, start with the
easier modifications of the exercises and become
familiar with all of the exercises before moving
on to more advanced modifications.
7) 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.
8) Breathe naturally, never holding your breath during
an exercise. Avoid over-training, you should be able to
carry on a conversation while exercising.
9) Warm up before any exercise program by doing 5 to
10 minutes of gentle aerobic exercise, such as walking,
followed by stretching.
10) 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.
11) Have plenty of clearance space. 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.
12) 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 running or aerobic shoes.
13) 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:
2

– 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.
14) ONLY one person at a time should use this
equipment.
15) Because the bands have elastic properties, the
bands may snap toward you if they break during use
or are released while under stress. This can result
in serious injury to your eyes and other body parts.
Therefore, it is extremely important that you inspect
the bands before each use. Closely examine the bands
for nicks, tears, punctures and other flaws. If you find
any flaws, do not use the bands. It is also extremely
important that you use smooth, controlled movements
and never release the bands while they are under
stress.
16) Do not use the bands if your hands are wet or
greasy. When using the handle, follow the directions
carefully for attaching the handle to the band. Test
before using by pulling on the handle (not to exceed
more than two times band length) to make sure the
handle is securely attached to the band. Securely
grip the handle to prevent it from slipping out of your
hand. Losing your grip can cause the band to snap
resulting in serious injury to your eyes and/or other
body parts.
17) If you plan to anchor the bands to a stationary
object (including using the door anchor), follow the
directions carefully. Test before using by pulling on
the handles (not to exceed more than two times band
length) to make sure that the stationary object can
support your weight and that the band is securely
attached to the stationary object (and door anchor
when applicable).
18) Keep bands away from sunlight, direct heat
sources, dampness, grease and sharp objects that
may result in cuts or punctures.

Attach Handles To Bands
The girth hitch technique is simple and allows you to use your Perfect Bands in countless ways. Simply loop
handle and bands together.
Using the Door Anchor
The door anchor allows you to use the Perfect Bands with standard doors. On the hinge side of the door, slide
the loop end of the anchor through the open area. On opposite side of the door, attach the bands to the door
anchor loop. Use the girth hitch technique explained above. Close and post a note - “DO NOT OPEN”. Perform
weight test by pulling hard on the bands prior to using them.
