Warm-up and Cool-down Exercises

A successful workout program consists of three parts: warm-up, aerobic exercise and cool-down.

Warming up is the most important part of a workout and must be done before every session. Warming up helps to warm the body, stretch the muscles and prepare the body for more intense loads. Repeating the warm-up exercises after a workout helps to relieve muscle tension and ease pain. It is recommended to do suitable warm-up and cool-down exercises, as shown below:

Head rolls

First pull your head toward your right shoulder, stretch your neck and turn your head once clockwise and once counterclockwise; pull your head toward your left shoulder and make one turn counterclockwise. Repeat.

Shoulder lifts

Raise your left shoulder and make 5 backward rotations; then raise your right shoulder and make 5 backward rotations, alternating sides.

Side stretch

Raise your arms above your head, then grasp your right wrist with your left hand and reach upward until you feel your right arm fully stretched. Hold for 5 seconds before switching to the other arm.

Quadriceps stretch

Holding onto a wall with your right hand for balance, pull your left foot back with your left hand, bringing the heel as close to your buttock as possible. Hold for 15 seconds, then repeat with the other leg.

Inner thigh stretch

Sitting on the floor, put the soles of your feet together, clasp them with both hands and pull them in as close to your body as possible. Slowly press down on both heels and hold this position for 15 seconds.

Toe touch

Slowly bend forward, relax your back and shoulders and reach for your toes. Bend as low as you can and hold the position for up to 15 seconds.

Hamstring stretch

Sit down, straighten your right leg, bend your left leg, grab your left ankle with your left hand and push it inward so that your left foot is as close to your torso as possible and the sole of the foot is against the inside of your right thigh. Then press forward with your body and reach both arms forward to touch your toes; the more pressure, the better. Hold this position for 15 seconds and switch to the left leg.

Calf stretch

Lean against a wall with both hands, tilt your body at a 45-degree angle to the floor and alternately move your left and right legs back, as if walking.

Adjustment and safety tips

1. For the first use, the presence of an observer is required for safety.
2. Make sure the foot securing system is firmly fixed and the rollers are installed symmetrically.
3. Set the height adjustment scale according to your height. For example, if you are 160 cm tall, first set the height to 170 cm. If turning over is difficult, reduce the setting until turning over becomes easy.
4. After each adjustment, secure the locking pin and insert the safety pin before use.

Usage plans

The inversion table is designed for stretching and improving flexibility, as well as for improving blood circulation and relieving tension in the spine. Use it for relaxing exercises and stretching, especially if you feel discomfort or tension in your back.

How to use the equipment correctly

• Stand on the platform and secure your ankles in the locking system.
• Slowly begin to lean back, controlling the movement with your hands.
• Use the foot support and adjust the tilt angle to achieve optimal stretching.

Entering inversion

• Raise your arms up to begin the inversion.
• If you want to increase the tilt angle, keep slowly raising your arms above your head.
• To return to the upright position, lower your arms back down.

Height settings

• The height setting adjusts the tilt angle and the inversion position. Make sure you set the height correctly according to your height and weight for safe and effective inversion.

Foot locking system

• The foot locking system helps to hold your ankles securely and prevents them from slipping. Check that the locks are properly fastened before use.

Recommendations for beginners

Use a helper. For the first inversion sessions, ask a partner to help you with the settings and to ensure your safety.

Start with partial inversion. Gradually increase the tilt angle until you feel confident.

Watch the time. In the first sessions, do not stay inverted for longer than 1–2 minutes. You can increase the duration over time.

Equipment care recommendations

Inspect the equipment regularly. Make sure all screws, nuts and pins are securely fastened before each use.

Cleaning. Use a soft cloth to clean the equipment. Do not use abrasive products, so as not to damage the surfaces.

Storage. Store the equipment in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
