OmGym safety guidelines
 

 

• Always consult with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
• Wait at least 2 hours after eating before performing inversion or exercise.
• Wait at least 15 minutes after consuming liquids before performing inversion.
• Do not use while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not invert while using anti-coagulants or Advil.
• Always warm up for 5-10 minutes with gentle repetitive movement before exercising (trampoline, hula hoop, jog, etc).
• Stay warm throughout the duration of your OmGym session.
• Start slowly and easily. New movement is to be practiced with extra care.
• Use awareness and proper form with each movement.
• Always listen to and honor your body's needs. Disengage from any painful movement. Be cautious of overstretching.
• Remember to breathe in all positions or routines. Do not hold your breath.
• Make sure hooks are placed properly over knots, between the two lines of knottted rope, after each adjustment.
• Do not wrap the stirrups or straps around your neck.
• Have another adult with you for your first time inverting.
• Children should always be supervised by an adult.
