GENERAL GUIDE
Some easy to follow exercise guidelines to help with your rehabilitation and strengthening.
Week 1: An initial workout of 3 x 30 second spinning sessions, with a 1 minute rest between each, repeated every other day. Use the first session to establish the RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) at which you feel an effort, but at which you can still maintain a firm grip on the ball.
Week 2: 3 x 30 second spinning sessions with a 1 minute rest in between, repeated daily.
Week 3: 3 x 60 second spinning sessions with a 1 minute rest in between, repeated every other day.
Week 4: 3 x 60 second spinning sessions with a 1 minute rest in between, repeated daily.
Remember that starting velocity is determined by your personal strength and fitness level, whether you are using the ball to rehabilitate a pre-existing injury or to help build muscle strength. Always start conservatively until you fully establish your spin speed where your muscles are being strained but still able to maintain a firm grip on the ball.
Progress is made by increasing the duration and rate of twist in conjunction with a regular exercise program. Should you experience any discomfort while exercising with the PowerBall® or PowerSpin®, please speak to your doctor or other qualified professional for the best advice and support.
