AquatonerŽ Instructions: The left outer perimeter edge of each paddle is identified as grooved marking #1. The other actual grooves on the paddle faces are #2, #3, and #4. The paddles are stacked on top of each other and they all pivot at the center to a desired position before tightening them in place by turning the handle. The triple paddle system used in the original Aquatoner remains
the superior aquatic exercise product with the ability to span a
vast range of resistance surface area by opening or closing the
overlapping paddles - a fitness routine customizable for all levels
of exercise or physical therapy. Completing it's versatility
are the central and opposing handle and foot
fastener.
Fastening
the Aquatoner to an appendage is simple. This attachment is an
upgrade from the original Aquatoner of the 1980's and 90's.
To place the device on the bottom of any size foot, slip the foot
into the cushion, pull the webbing tight and adjust the fin strap
around the heel. It is very secure.
    All Aquatoners come with an instructional
video.
Increasing and decreasing the resistance or exercise velocity
with the Aquatoner and using it for lower and mid-body as well as
upper body exercises was revolutionary in the aquatic
protocols. The Aquatoner was the first professional aquatic
therapy device on the market, domestically and worldwide.
Being able to document changes in exercise intensity using a resistive area measurement gauge, a scale chart, and the variables of range of motion or distance of movement with speed or velocity, was the next development in the 80's and remains the sole proprietary domain of the Aquatoner. The signature of the Aquatoner is three fold: a wide range of adjustable area, full body utilization, and measurement The new measurement or alignment feature for Aquatoner 2000 uses grooves on the paddle surface. They can be quickly felt and easily seen instead of wasting time lining up holes and depending entirely on eyesight in a wet environment. The entire paddle surfaces are then solid resistance. Simply line up the edge of an upper paddle with the appropriate groove on the next adjacent paddle and use the data on the chart as always, It's fast and accurate. Align the left outer edge of the upper paddles over the grooved markings of the lower paddles in the selected position. Turn the handle to tighten the configuration in a fixed position. The grooves are numbered from left to right 1-4 with the left edge being #1.
Increasing the surface area will either slow the movement or increase the challenge. Decreasing the surface area will be easier or faster. You are in complete control constantly. back
