How does SANDDUNE™ work?
The Original SANDDUNE™ enables your ability to respond to your environment like no other piece of exercise equipment. It challenges your response by providing a “mobile” walking surface that is constantly shifting and changing due to the movement of your own body. It wakes up your senses that tell you where you are in space, how much effort is required and which muscles you need to use to maintain balance. Walking in place on the SANDDUNE™ requires your muscles and brain to react both quickly and constantly. Faster reaction time improves your balance, coordination and mobility. This translates into better reflexes and improved use of your body in general.
Fall Prevention
“If you avoid physical activity because you are afraid it will make a fall more likely, tell your doctor. He or she may recommend carefully monitored exercise programs or refer you to a physical therapist.
Helpful Hints
Always take rest intervals after anaerobic workouts. An anaerobic work out comprises incorporates the forefoot and the toe compressions (toe work, positional workout, hip circles on both the uphill & downhill levels. Take a brief run or walk in place.
Listen to your body. Pay attention to the tempo and cadence of the exercise. Keep it equal. Wearing shoes will limit the foots ability to interact with the foot pad, reducing the exercises effectiveness as well as the user’s ability to balance. It is best to use barefeet or socks.
Good posture is important for most exercises, keep a flat back, shoulders back and elbows close to your body.
