Things to Remember Before Using

the Abaway Pro

Please consult a professional trainer, licensed fitness authority, or physician before attempting

this or any exercise machine or program.

Use only on a level surface.

Follow any one of the instructional video routines which compliment your level of fitness.

Secure a firm grip on the handles at all times that is suitable and comfortable for your height.

For best results, allow your midsection (abdominal muscles) to do the work when doing the

lowering or (eccentric) phase of the exercise. On the A b away Pro the l owe ri n g phase

is the exercise!

The lifting phase or (concentric) movement simply puts you back into the upright

or starting position. The use of the handles to get you back into the staring position can be used to

assist you up.

We do not recommend adding resistance/weights to your body or the machine in an eff o rt

to increase the intensity. Adding resistance has a tendency to make the muscles bigger

( hy p e rt r o p hy), not smaller. Re m e m b e r, with the A b away Pro our goal is to elongate and

strengthen the abdominal region.

As you progress, you can increase the intensity by trying one of the following:



Slow down the speed of the lowering phase of the exercise.



In the lowering phase, stop and hold your position every couple of inches for a few

seconds. Then lower yourself another inch or two and hold. The number of seconds you

hold for depends on your strength level. Start with a second or two, then work your

way up to four or five seconds. The longer you hold, and the more often you hold on

the

way

down

will

greatly

But don't do too much too soon.

Things to Avoid While Using

Do not lift or raise your head while performing the exercises on the A b away Pro.This can

cause undue strain on the neck and will compromise the effectiveness of the exercises.

Do not perform any fast movements using the A b away Pro. Fast movements create

momentum which will decrease the intensity of the exercise. In addition, fast, jerky

m ovements can cause injury to the user. If in doubt about the speed of the move m e n t ,

always go slower rather than faster.
