Operating Instructions
The Tunturi Power Roller is designed to assist with abdominal and core exercises. Follow these guidelines for effective and safe use.
- Positioning: Lie on your back on a comfortable mat or floor. Place your head on the padded headrest and grip the foam handles firmly.
- Starting Position: Ensure your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are bent. Your arms should be extended forward, holding the handles.
- Execution: Engage your abdominal muscles and slowly curl your upper body upwards, bringing your shoulders off the floor. The Power Roller's design helps guide your movement and supports your neck.
- Controlled Movement: Focus on a slow, controlled movement both upwards and downwards. Avoid using momentum.
- Breathing: Exhale as you curl up and inhale as you lower back down.
- Repetitions: Start with a manageable number of repetitions and gradually increase as your strength improves.
