Galileo Vibration Therapy & Training – Basic Rules and Exercises
Your first Galileo “side-alternating” whole body vibration training session should be done with a trained practitioner and contraindications must be excluded.
- Beginners should always start with a narrow foot position, e. g. feet together, or at 1 to 1.5.
- Keep head vibration to a minimum by bending knees, bringing weight onto your toes or narrowing foot position.
- Do not straighten your legs when foot position is wider than 2.5.
- Always chose a symmetrical foot position, moving out evenly from position 0.
- Frequency is chosen according to your training goal.
- Practice all exercises slowly and consciously with intent.
