ROTATING ON THE INVERSION SYSTEM
his section explains how to rotate back on the inversion system, and then return to the starting position. Before
T
using the inversion system, see the ADJUSTMENT section starting on page 12 to correctly set up the
inversion system.
ROTATING BACK ON THE INVERSION SYSTEM
To rotate back on the inversion system, slowly lift your
arms over your head until you reach the desired position. The speed at which you lift your arms will determine how quickly the inversion system will rotate. Rest
your arms in a comfortable position that does not
cause the inversion system to rotate. Note: The inversion system will rotate only to the degree setting
allowed by the chain.
ROTATING UP ON THE INVERSION SYSTEM
To return to the starting position, move your hands
toward your waist until you rotate to a horizontal position. Rest in a horizontal position for 30 to 60 seconds
before rotating to the starting position. This will allow
your body to readjust. Return to the starting position
slowly. Dizziness after using the inversion system is an
indication that you have returned to the starting position
too quickly.
To rotate up from the fully inverted position, pull yourself up using the handles.
Do not sit up to return to the starting position.
15
Page 16
DEVELOPING A PROGRAM
his section contains information and suggestions about using the inversion system. Make sure that all parts are
T
properly tightened each time you use the inversion system. Replace any worn parts immediately. See the
ADJUSTMENT section starting on page 12 to identify parts referred to in this section.
ENEFITING FROM USING THE INVERSION
B
SYSTEM
If you feel nauseated while using the inversion system,
return to the starting position. Be aware that it may take
a few weeks of use for your inner ear to become accustom to being inverted.
Do not use the inversion system right after you have
eaten.
NTERMEDIATE PROGRAM
I
The following are suggestions for persons who have
become comfortable using the inversion system as
described under the BEGINNER PROGRAM.
Increase the angle to which the inversion system can
rotate, as it is comfortable. Adjust the chain to allow
the inversion system to rotate to up to 60 degrees, a
few degrees at a time.
Moving while using the inversion system may make it a
more comfortable experience, and may help joints and
muscles stretch and relax. Always move in a slow, controlled manner.
The greater the angle at which the inversion system is
used, the shorter the time that you should rotate back
before rotating up. Increase the amount of inverted time
and the angle of use gradually.
Always pay attention to how your body feels as you use
the inversion system. Increase the level of intensity only
as it is comfortable for you. When you feel like you have
had enough, return to the starting position.
BEGINNER PROGRAM
The following are suggestions for persons who are just
starting to use the inversion system.
Adjust the chain to allow the backrest frame to rotate
to 15 degrees or less for the first one or two weeks.
This will allow your body time to adjust to the change
in gravitational pull.
Use the inversion system for one or two minutes at a
time, two or three times a day.
Stay inverted only for as long as it is comfortable. This
may be only a few seconds at first.
Start to do gentle stretching while using the inversion
system.
Gradually increase the amount of time that you use
the inversion system to ten minutes or more, two or
three times a day. Routines can be varied from rotating back for one or two minutes and then up for 30
seconds, to rotating back and up for equal amounts of
time.
FULL INVERSION PROGRAM
The following are suggestions for persons who have
become comfortable using the inversion system as
described under the INTERMEDIATE PROGRAM and
desire to rotate to greater angles. Note that all the
benefits of inversion can be gained by rotating to 60
degrees. Do not attempt to do sit-ups.
Increase the angle to which the inversion system can
rotate, as it is comfortable.
Adjust the pivot bars so that the pins on the backrest
frame are in the top holes in the pivot bars (see
SELECTING A PIVOT BAR POSITION on page 12). If
you weigh 220 lbs. (100 kg) or more, adjust the pivot
bars so that the pins on the backrest frame are in the
center holes in the pivot bars. Rotate back and up as
described on page 15.
