CYBEX VR2 - The Positioning; The Motion

CYBEX VR2 Owner’s Manual
The Positioning
• Adjust the back pad to comfort or goal. Raising
the pad will increase hip extensor work. Lowering
the pad will decrease hip extensor work.
• Adjust the starting position (pull pin found
below the legs) to allow approximately a 90 degree
bend in the knee. The need for more or less knee
flexion is determined by the users goal and limita-
tions. The degree of knee bend must allow the
pelvis/hips to remain firmly pressed against the
back pad.
• Check the weight to insure that the appropriate
resistance has been selected. Body position and
control of the motion should never be compro-
mised by excessive weight.
• Position the feet approximately shoulder width
with the toes and knees pointing slightly outward
at the same angle.
• Position the shoulders and hips/pelvis against the
back pad and maintain to eliminate spinal flexion.
The Motion
• Keeping the feet flat, tighten the legs, push through the heels and smoothly straighten the
legs. Do not lock/hyperextend the knees.
• Slowly return to the starting position without resting.
• Maintain the hips/pelvis and shoulders against the back pad and the knees pointing toward
the toes throughout each repetition.
