Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the HyperVibe - G10 Mini, Gravity Resistance Training machine. Small, lightweight and pow-erful, the G10 Mini is a portable powerhouse coupled with innova-tion. Not only does the G10 Mini bring you power that is typically HyperVibe brings you a vibration machine with Bluetooth con-nectivity that allows you to control or program the machine via devices such as smartphones, MP3 players, and tablets. Simply download the HyperVibe G10 app and the software will tell the G10 Mini what to do, and show you how to workout through your choice of 40 goal based programs. The HyperVibe G10 Mini app includes live G-Force readings1 cor-responding to a Low, Medium, and High position on the platform. key to getting results.

Gravity Resistance Training (GRT) There is a wide spread myth about Whole Body Vibration originat-ing in Russia during the 70’s and used for the health of their cos-monauts and the performance of their olympic athletes. The reali-ty is that modern Whole Body Vibration began in Germany during the mid-nineties. The pioneering machines were very powerful and designed to increase the gravitational forces acting on a user by applying rapid pulses of vertical force under the users feet, triggering a range of responses and benefits. Over the years as more manufacturers started to release less powerful Whole Body Vibration platforms, the original concept became somewhat lost. Gravity Resistance Training refers to the actual training principle by which users of a Whole Body Vibration platform experience tremendous benefit to their muscles, bones, and bodies. What sets apart a GRT machine from a regular vibration machine, is its ability to produce high levels of gravity (acceleration), just like the pioneering technology from Germany. In simple terms, this means that the platform’s upward vertical force can simulate more than 10 times the strength of Earth’s gravity. While manufacturers of low powered machines attempt to use smoke and mirrors, we at Hypervibe focus on the reality of Whole Body Vibration technology and what sets it apart from other approaches to health and fitness. We focus on its ability to provide true Gravity Resistance! After all, is not Gravity the force we fight against everyday in our lives. Is not our failure to fight gravity responsible for many of the physical issues we face? No matter how you look at it, the fun-damental need to maintain our ability to counter gravity is what defines our strength, stability, balance, function, and most importantly, our healthy lifestyle. It’s time to stop just shaking the 5
body and begin to actually improve its performance and integrity. It’s time for Whole Body Vibration to become Gravity Resistance Training.

breath, stop exercising immediately and consult your physician before continuing. We do not recommend use for children unless your physician has been consulted. Possible side effects you may experience when using your hyper-vibe machine include: • Skin lesions or blisters - These can be prevented by wearing shoes, socks or placing a foam mat on the platform. • Nausea, dizziness or temporary drop in blood pressure - Stop exercising immediately and reduce the intensity of your train-ing program. • A drop in blood sugar levels - Diabetics should be aware of this and should not exercise on an empty stomach. 13
Machine Installation The G10 Mini does not require assembly, however some consid-eration needs to be given to installation. The G10 Mini includes a docking plate, and certain surfaces may require use of this dock (see Fig. 2). The G10 Mini has rubber suction cap feet that are best suited to • Polished concrete • • If you have any of the following surfaces, the suction cap feet may not make a solid bond, and the docking plate may be required: • Carpeted surfaces • Textured surfaces You may also wish to install the docking plate on any of the above surfaces simply to protect the surface from marks that may be left by the black rubber feet. 14

Upper body resistance bands The G10 Mini comes supplied with two upper body resistance bands, which can be attached to the attachment points on the vibration platform and used in a variety of upper body exercises. Instructions To connect the upper body resistance bands to the attachment points on the machine (see Fig. 3), simply squeeze the D clip (1) at the end of the resistance band and guide the clip through the hole in the attachment point (2), then release the D clip. Each resistance band can be adjusted to increase or decrease the increasing and decreasing the resistance. To adjust, simply feed the resistance band through the toggle to your requirements. Note: The upper body resistance bands should only be connect-ed to the machine when they are being used. If they are left con-nected to the machine and are not in use, they may create exces-sive noise. 16

Safe & Effective Use If you are not excluded from using the machine due to a health condition, the G10 Mini can be used by almost everyone. How-ever, the key to success when using the G10 Mini is safe and 1. Intensity (G-Force) 2. Time 3. Exercise Intensity (G-Force) The G10 Mini can be adjusted through a wide range of intensi-ty levels, from very low intensity (low frequency with low ampli-tude) to high (high frequency with high amplitude). Intensity levels should be chosen appropriately based on personal ability and lev-el of conditioning. The G10 Mini has a frequency range from 5 to 20Hz, and three amplitude positions, L (Low), M (Medium), & H (High). Frequency refers to the speed of the platform and can be adjusted at the control panel in manual mode. Amplitude refers to the distance the platform travels up and down, and can be adjusted by moving your feet/hands between the L, M & H amplitude contact posi-tions on the platform (See Fig. 4) . When connected to the HyperVibe G10 app, the combined fre-quency and amplitude settings determine the intensity level, and the G10 Mini displays the intensity levels at the top of the screen via the G Force panel. As a general rule beginners should stay below 4g’s. 18
Fig. 4 Time When referring to time on the G10 Mini, we can refer to the du-ration of time that an exercise is performed for, the duration of time you rest between exercises, and also the total time use of machine in any given week in terms of number of sessions. Just as we recommend low intensity vibration when new to GRT, we also recommend short exercise durations and fewer sessions per week. As little as 5 minutes, 2 to 3 times per week may be enough stimulation initially, which should allow you to become familiar with the effects of GRT without overloading your body. If your body adapts well to GRT, longer exercise durations of 10-20 mins in total are possible, and it is also possible to use the ma-chine everyday. 19
Allow adequate rest durations between exercises. Reducing the rest periods will contribute to the intensity of the session. It should also be noted that programs that are designed for relax- Exercise t is important you only choose to perform exercises which are ap-propriate for your ability, and likewise performing those exercises correctly, as incorrect posture can cause harm and injury. Switch-ing on your core muscles by drawing your belly towards your spine, will increase core stability and help maintain your posture. It is important to maintain balance during exercises. For exercises which use the handles of the machine for stability, the aim is to be able to perform the exercise with minimal pressure on the handles as possible. Your body should be positioned so that if you were to let go of the handles, you would not lose balance. Unless otherwise instructed, your weight should be distributed evenly through your feet left to right, and front to back. You should not be up on your toes, nor back on your heels. You should never stand up tall and lock your knees during a high intensity GRT machine setting. Sometimes locked knees may be instructed for lower intensity vibration therapy exercises. The G10 Mini has a pivotal platform, which means the platform vibrates in the same motion as a see-saw. For standing exercises where both feet are on the platform your feet should be kept at equal distance from the middle platform pivotal point. There are some exercises where should use the HyperVibe work-out mat or similar product, such as kneeling, planking, and sitting 20
exercises. Some users will prefer a mat for upper body exercises where hands are on the platform, but be aware that this will also reduce the intensity to a degree. You may also wish to use the HyperVibe workout mat when lying on the floor in front for your comfort and protection. For safety and maximum vibration transfer to the body, wear socks or thin soled rubber shoes. Bare feet or hands on the platform be the most efficient transfer of vibration, but can cause blistering. Thicker soled shoes will absorb vibration and reduce the amount of vibration transferred to the body, and hard soled shoes can cause the user to “skid”. 21
Using the control panel & remote control SLEEP MODE With the mains switch turned on at the rear of the machine, the G10 Mini will be in standby mode. This will be indicated by the fact that there is a blinking red light visible from the time window, and that there will be no digits showing in either the time window or the frequency window. READY MODE From sleep mode, pressing the power button will turn the G10 Mini to ready mode. From ready mode the frequency can be pre-selected, by using the frequency UP/DOWN buttons, so that the G10 Mini will start at tthe frequency preferred frequency for a particular exercise. Once you have chosen a frequency, select either 30, 60, or 90 seconds for the exercise duration. Once a time selection has been made, the G10 Mini will provide a 5 second countdown with an audible beep on the last 3 seconds. After the 5 second countdown, the platform will start producing vibration and the time window will countdown the time chosen for the exercise duration. The frequency can be adjusted whilst the platform is producing vibration via the use of the frequency UP/DOWN buttons. To stop the vibration during an exercise, press the power button. To turn the G10 Mini back to sleep mode, press and hold the pow-er button for 3 seconds. 22
MUTE ON/OFF From ready mode pressing both frequency UP and frequency DOWN simultaneously will switch mute sounds ON and OFF. BLUETOOTH When a Bluetooth connection is made with the HyperVibe G10 software, the Bluetooth indicator will illuminate, and both the timer and frequency window will indicate — which means that machines controls and indicators are now controlled by an ex-ternal device. During bluetooth connection, the only button that is functional on the control panel and remote control is the power button, which must be pressed and held for 3 seconds to break the bluetooth connection and send the machine into sleep mode.
