Tipping:
Purposely being designed with 3 sides, it is
possible that the Core Coaster can tip during
use (especially when first using). Proper form
is critical when using the Core Coaster. Heals,
toes or hands should be placed in the center
of the Core Coaster. As your core strengthens,
your form will improve and allow you to keep
your hands and feet in the center of the Core
Coaster and reduce or eliminate tipping.
Finger Placement:
When grasping the Core Coaster with two
hands, it is very important to put fingers in
designed “finger holes” as shown below.
IMPORTANT! Before you start, please
read over the safety instructions found below.
Congratulations on the
purchase of the Core Coaster!
Get ready to have fun and
get in shape!

Overview

5. Safety Information

The Core Coaster is a fitness device designed for core strengthening and full-body exercise, utilizing a three-sided platform with casters for dynamic movement. It is intended for users to engage in a variety of exercises, from planks to more complex rollouts, with an emphasis on slow, controlled movements rather than speed. The device is suitable for use on multiple floor surfaces, though caution is advised on hard floors due to increased mobility.

Function Description:

The Core Coaster primarily functions as a dynamic exercise tool that introduces instability to traditional exercises, thereby increasing the challenge and effectiveness of core and full-body workouts. Its three-sided design and casters allow for multi-directional movement, engaging stabilizing muscles more intensely than static exercises. The device supports a range of exercises categorized into four difficulty levels, from basic hip mobilizations and planks on knees to advanced one-arm rollouts and complex fly movements. It can be used with hands or feet, depending on the exercise, to target different muscle groups including the core, arms, shoulders, back, and glutes. The instability created by the casters requires users to maintain balance and control, which helps improve overall strength, balance, and coordination.

Important Technical Specifications:

The Core Coaster features a three-sided platform with casters, designed to facilitate movement across various surfaces. While specific material specifications are not provided, some models may include a Core Coaster Resistance Exercise Band made with natural rubber latex, which is noted as a potential allergen. The device is designed to be compact and portable, making it suitable for home use or even for "micro-workouts" in an office setting. The casters are a critical component, enabling the device's dynamic movement, and users are cautioned to keep hair, fingers, loose clothing, pets, and children away from these moving parts to prevent injury. The platform also includes designed "finger holes" for proper hand placement when grasping the device with two hands, ensuring a secure grip and reducing the risk of tipping.

Usage Features:

The Core Coaster offers a versatile exercise experience with several key usage features:

• Progressive Difficulty: Exercises are categorized into four levels, from Level 1 (e.g., Single Leg Hip Mobilization, Wax-on, Wax-off Plank on Knees) to Level 4 (e.g., Rollout from Feet, One-Arm Rollout from Feet), allowing users to gradually increase the intensity as their core strength improves.
• Dynamic Movement: The casters enable fluid, multi-directional movement, transforming static exercises into dynamic ones. This feature enhances muscle engagement and improves stability.
• Core Strengthening: The primary focus is on core exercises, with many movements being variations of the plank position. Users are advised to be able to maintain a standard plank for at least 10 seconds before starting Core Coaster exercises.
• Full-Body Engagement: Beyond the core, exercises target various muscle groups, including the arms (e.g., One-Arm Push-up Flys, Cannon Curl), back (e.g., Back Flys - Hips Off the Ground, B-Row), and glutes (e.g., Glute Blaster).
• Resistance Band Integration: Some models come with a Core Coaster Resistance Exercise Band, which can be used to add resistance to exercises like the Resistance Band Assist Roll Out or One-Hand Rollout with Band, further increasing the challenge. Users are strongly cautioned to use these bands properly and only upon recommendation and under the direction of a trained professional, inspecting them for flaws before each use.
• Tipping Awareness: The three-sided design makes tipping possible, especially for new users. Proper form, with heels, toes, or hands placed in the center of the Core Coaster, is crucial to prevent tipping. As core strength improves, users will naturally reduce or eliminate tipping.
• Finger Placement: For exercises requiring two-hand grip, specific "finger holes" are designed into the platform to ensure correct and secure hand placement.
• Versatile Surface Use: The device can be used on multiple floor surfaces, but users should exercise caution on hard floors where the device moves more easily.
• "Micro-Workouts" Concept: The device is promoted for short, effective workouts throughout the day (e.g., before breakfast, during lunch, before bed) to integrate fitness into busy schedules.

Maintenance Features:

While detailed maintenance instructions are not extensively provided, the manual emphasizes the following:

• Pre-Use Inspection: Users are instructed to inspect the Core Coaster and any accompanying Resistance Exercise Bands before each use. This includes checking for tears, holes, or any other damage that could compromise the equipment's integrity or lead to breakage of the bands.
• Discarding Damaged Components: If any flaws are found in the Core Coaster Resistance Exercise Bands, they should be discarded immediately. The manual implies that the Core Coaster itself should also not be used if any parts are not working properly.
• Cleaning: Although not explicitly stated, general fitness equipment maintenance would suggest regular cleaning of the device to maintain hygiene and prolong its lifespan.
• Storage: The compact nature of the device suggests easy storage, though no specific storage instructions are given.

Safety Information:

The manual includes comprehensive safety warnings and cautions:

• Adult Supervision for Minors: Minors should only use the Core Coaster under adult supervision.
• No Standing: Users are explicitly warned not to stand on the Core Coaster.
• Keep Clear of Moving Parts: Hair, fingers, loose clothing, pets, and children must be kept away from the casters and other moving parts to avoid serious injury.
• Consult Physician: Before starting any exercise program, users should consult a physician or health professional, especially if over age 35 or with pre-existing health problems.
• Stop if Discomfort: Users must stop exercising immediately and consult a doctor if they experience pain, chest tightness, irregular heart beat, shortness of breath, faintness, nausea, or dizziness.
• Proper Use Only: The device should only be used as an exercise device as described in the instructions.
• Ample Space: The Core Coaster should not be used in an area without ample space between the user and any obstacle or bystander.
• Resistance Band Safety: Resistance bands should only be used under professional direction, inspected before each use, and discarded if flawed. They are not toys and should be kept out of reach of children. They should not be used in any manner that could cause them to snap towards the head or eyes.
• Latex Allergy: Some models' resistance bands contain natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions.
