INSTALLATION / SAFETY
- Inspection: Before each use, visually inspect the ToyBoard®. Check the zipper and ensure the slider is covered by the zipper flap.
- Usage Environment: Whether at home, in a medical office, or at the gym, ensure you use your ToyBoard in an appropriate setting on a flat surface, away from sharp objects, with sufficient clearance around you. The floor should suit your usage: smooth for rotation exercises or non-slip mats for more stability.
- Footwear: FAMILY models are best used with socks or barefoot. SPORT HEALTH models can also be used with shoes.
- Intended Use: Use the ToyBoard only as described by the manufacturer. Do not modify the equipment or use accessories not recommended by the manufacturer.
- Your ToyBoard® is now ready for safe use.
FIRST STEPS
- Before starting, ensure you feel comfortable getting on and off the dynamic surface in all directions.
- Practice slowly stepping onto the ToyBoard placed face down (see Fig. A).
- Then, turn the ToyBoard over, place one foot on it, step up, and step down. Repeat several times, alternating legs (see Fig. B).
- Once you are comfortable stepping on and off the ToyBoard, you can begin to find your balance and start working out on the ToyBoard.
- If You Feel Unbalanced, simply step off by placing one foot down and then the other, as you would step off a stair.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Your ToyBoard® has been carefully designed to require minimal maintenance for an enjoyable experience. To ensure this, we recommend the following:
- Keep Your ToyBoard® Clean: Wipe off sweat, dust, or any other residue after each use with a towel. Mild soap and water can also be used to clean stains if necessary. The FAMILY models feature a removable cover that is machine washable at 140°F (60°C).
- Do Not Store your ToyBoard® in direct contact with other surfaces. The foam is a flexible material that quickly conforms to objects placed on it. While it will eventually return to its original shape, this can take some time.
- Avoid Sharp or Abrasive Objects: Keep the covers away from sharp or abrasive items. Sharp or abrasive objects can damage or puncture the surface.
