THE KNOW-HOW ABOUT AEROBIC EXERCISE

First if you use the Sun Harmony® Aerobic Exerciser, it would be more simple If you make such exercise with the purpose of training and building up your physical health or improving your digestive system, auto rehabilitation of your lumbago or aching back, sciatica, knee pain, etc., you lie on your back, keep your body in a straight line, put both ankles in the groove of the machine, relax the tip of your feet, then turn on the machine to shake, taking deep breaths at the same time. If the purpose is for healing shoulder pain or improving chronic dysfunction or treating diseases of respiratory system and cardiovascular system, then embrace your head with both hands, or cross your hands behind the neck at the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae, and extend the elbow. In this case. you can swing as a fish is swimming. Furthermore, for those wanting to tone breasts or abdomen, take the same posture, so that you can throw out your chest and tone the area. If you feel uncomfortable with this posture to do the exercise, especially when you extend your knees, or if you have dizziness, you may change the posture accordingly. You can reach the same effect if you close and bend your two knees; then incline to the floor with shaking.

There is another style for those with kidney diseases. You lie facing down, with two hands crossed in front of your brow, then shake as the frequency, the same result may be obtained. The above mentioned is the exercise by yourself or through the help of instrument. For some weak person or aged and even young kids,they are not used to the shaking frequency of the instrument. In this case, a helper is needed. The patient may lie on his back, the helper takes a kneeling posture. The patient's ankles lie on the helper's knees. The helper supports the soles with one hand. and presses the ankles 'with the other hand. With this posture, start the shaking all around. In that case, the patient produces a swing of the whole body starting from foot upward. A convenient method for the helper is hanging a rope with a loop from the ceiling. The patient's feet are wrapped with thick towel and put into the loop. When the helper pushes the loop, it will automatically produce fish like whole body swinging.

For the beginner, take only three minutes for such exercise, and then increase gradually to 5, 7, and 10 minutes. With the adaptation period, it would not produce dizziness and other uncomfortable symptoms. During exercise. one should not keep any distracting thoughts, keep regular deep breathing, this is especially important for patients of respiratory and circulatory (cardiovascular) Systems. After exercise, remain still for 2 to 3 minutes, otherwise, standing upright after exercise produces severe dizziness, or even nausea feeling resulting from the blood volume in a large proportion in the relaxed blood vessels, whereas the blood supply to the brain is comparatively insufficient so to speak. After exercise, one should take a drink of water, it can be rapidly absorbed to compensate blood volume, and also make your stomach feel comfortable.

For those with vascular or respiratory disease as well as those with hypertension or hypo tension, the increase of amount of exercise should be gradual. The rest for stabilization after exercise also should be prolonged. As the recovery function of elasticity, dilatation and constriction of blood vessels are not the same as a healthy person, so they have to wait a few minutes more. The best time to do such exercise is 1.5-5 hours after meal. One should never do such exercise right after a substantial meal The shaking of a full stomach could produce nausea and vomiting, and indigestion and ptosis of the stomach in the long run.

If the purpose of one's exercise is to reduce weight, tone the breast or reduce the waistline, you should consciously throw out your chest and tighten your abdomen, so that to tighten the ligament for abdomen and breast. At the same time, you can do other accessory exercises such as calisthenics. swimming, etc.

The room where you do the aerobic exercise should have good ventilation, with moderate temperature, so that you would not wear too much clothes, and it is much better if the room is carpeted.

Fish use a sideways movement of the spine when they are swimming. Most animals, like cats, dogs cattle and horses also use a sideways spinal movement when they are walking.

Of all the animals in the world, as far as we know only people have sore backs. When we add to this the fact that most people don't get enough exercise, especially spinal exercise, the result is that most people aren't getting enough oxygen into their bodies. Its not hard to understand why there are so many health problems in the world.

Before using the machine drink a little water.150 cc is about right. Upon finishing your exercise ,drink some more water to help flush toxins released by the exercise out of the body.

The handle should face away from you and the machine should be on a firm surface or the floor. (Using the machine on a spring mattress or bed does not give good results).

If you use the machine without socks there may be some discomfort as your ankles rub on the footrest. If this happens fold a thin towel and place under your ankles. When you lie down to use the machine ensure that your body is perpendicular to the machine.

When you have checked that your body is straight start the machine with the timer switch. If it is your first time, limit yourself to five minutes. When you have become accustomed to the machine you can increase the time to all levels at which you feel comfortable. Allow your hands to fall as they may and fully relax your body for best results.

When the exerciser stops moving do not get up straight away and do not move your body around. Lie still for two to three minutes. You will notice a tingling feeling in the body which in Chinese medicine is recognized as the body's response to the movement of "Chi". When you have this feeling the Chi in your body is giving you an internal massage. People who practice Chi kung understand the subtlety of "Chi" in the body and are able to move it around by focusing their attention. It is said that wherever the "Chi" gets to in the body, sickness is cured. The internal "Chi" massage resulting from the use of the exerciser is even more beneficial than the external movement, accounting for about 60 percent of the positive effects. Remember when getting up to roll to your side first. This will prevent you from getting dizzy or injuring your back.

Doing 15 minutes on the exerciser is equivalent to taking 10,000 steps, or walking about 1.5 hours in terms of the calories burnt and oxygen used. Some people who normally don't get much exercise may therefore feel quite tired after using the machine and some people with apparently nothing wrong with them may feel sore in places. This happens because of old injuries or a lack of exercise that have resulted in a circulation deficit to parts of the body. The tiredness or soreness are a natural result of the circulation beginning to open up. The "Sun Harmony®" exerciser provides the best available way to exercise the spine in a comfortable and relaxed way so as to replenish oxygen levels in the body. The sideways movement generated in the spine stimulates the sympathetic nervous system which in turn helps to promote heart and lung function.

This sends more fresh oxygen to all the cells of the body appropriately balancing all of the body cells need for oxygen The stimulation also helps to promote the movement of stagnant blood in the body. When you use the exerciser from inside your body you can feel the slight warm ticking sensation of blood flowing around your whole body telling which sends many people into a sweet, dreamy state of mind.

Don't Use the machine within one hour of eating, during the first three months of pregnancy, immediately after an operation, or with an infected or bleeding injury or cut. If extreme pain is caused by use of the exerciser, stop using it temporarily.

For some people, after 15 minutes on the exerciser they do not feel tired and cannot believe that they have done exercise the equivalent of walking for 1.5 hours. This is because the exercise is done lying down. Most of the load and stress has been taken off the body, so you are relaxed, and being gently massaged by the exerciser Your body is being replenished by oxygen and not depleted. which is what happens in much strenuous activity. If you keep up the exercise you will get results that you cannot imagine.

If you feel very uncomfortable or dizzy after using the exerciser for only five minutes cut the time back by halt. if even one minute is too much, you may well have a fairly serious anemia, your general oxygen levels in the brain could be too low, or you could have an imbalance in the inner ear. If you have any of these symptoms pay careful attention to your nutrition, get adequate sleep and pay attention to your psychological state. Try to stay happy and positive, avoid annoying situations, avoid stress if possible. When turning your head or rolling over in bed be gentle and smooth in your movements. When you are using the exerciser prop the head up a little with pillow. After doing this for a while, when you are no longer dizzy try to use the machine without a pillow for better results.

If symptoms still persist after trying these different things you could have some unknown problem. In this case it is suggested that you seek the advice of a doctor.

Some people after using the exerciser for a short time find that they are extremely thirsty, they have bad breath, and their excreta smells funny. This is a natural and positive result of the full body exercise and massage which the machine gives you both externally and internally.
