Document SummaryPart A - Program Creation
The Introductory Session would typically consist of 5-8 minutes of exercise time on the machine, where the client is introduced to different frequencies, amplitudes and movements. The exercises vary, depending upon the person's prior exercise knowledge and experience, their fitness levels, age, confidence, tolerance, mobility and personal goals.
Initially, keep programs simple, prescribing static exercises, allowing the client to progress to more challenging exercises in the future. Each program should consist of three basic elements; warm-up, cool down or stretch and the working exercises.
Clients are ultimately working toward unsupervised use of the machine so safety and set-up are crucial. Follow-up sessions are essential for continual improvement and ensuring the program is constantly challenging. Every 8-10 sessions is optimal for reassessing the program. This does not necessarily mean changing the exercises each time; it may include modifying technique, or increasing either the amplitude or the frequency that the exercises are being performed at. When all the elements are set correctly, the success of the program is inevitablePart B - Basic Exercises
Fifty six detailed exercises, with images, demonstrate a full range of initial exercises that can be performed on the platform - exercises for strengthening the legs, arms and abdomen; flexibility & stretching; and balance. Each exercise has subheadings outlining the purpose, starting position, movement, body checks for accuracy and variations for progression. Multiple images are provided to facilitate correct performance.
