USER MANUAL

HELLO THERE.
Joel and I are athletes who suffered from
severe ACL injuries a few months apart.
We purchased multiple pieces of exercise
equipment for our in-home rehab but were
left disappointed and frustrated by all that
fitness gear that made big promises but
gave no support, no well-thought-out plan
to follow, and no results. And that’s how
Lifepro came about, and why the Endurance
Training collection was createdwe’ve set
out to change all of that. It’s why every piece
of equipment bearing our name not only
undergoes rigorous scrutiny to make sure it
delivers on power and efficacy, but comes with
built-in support from our ‘guiding angels’ and a
built-in lifetime warranty so that you’re never
left hanging.
Welcome to Lifepro.
We’re in this together now.
A & Joel
Aerobic exercise has
enormous benefits for
your body, brain, and
mental health.
At least 150 minutes
of moderately-intense
physical activity, such as
brisk walking or cycling,
are recommended each
week for optimal health.

Not everyone can afford to hire a personal trainer or a team of professionals to help
them feel and look their best. But the good news is: you don’t have to. Lifepro brings
the gym to you. With the Lifepro AeroFlex 4-in-1 Aerobic Step Platform, theres no
need to pay for an expensive gym membership or personal trainer. The AeroFlex has
four unique setup options; one option allows you to build aerobic fitness, another
allows you to stretch your calves and ankles, and two options allow you to improve
your balance and core strength.
Use the AeroFlex as an aerobic exercise platform to improve your cardiovascular
and heart health, boost your metabolism and control your weight, reduce stress,
and build muscle and bone density. Use the AeroFlex in either of the two balance
board configurations to improve your balance and stability, improve core strength,
boost metabolism, and experience relief from chronic pain. The dynamic surface
of the AeroFlex in the balance configurations forces your body to work harder to
perform simple balance tasks, such as standing on one leg, and simple body-weight
exercises, such as planks, push-ups, squats, and glute bridges.
Use the AeroFlex on its own for easy, versatile fitness training, or as a valuable
addition to your home gym. Build a highly-effective fitness routine around the
AeroFlex, with the optional addition of strength training equipment, such as
dumbbells, resistance bands, and wrist/ankle weights. The AeroFlex is highly
portable, so you can create a fun, energizing workout anytime, anywhere.
Redefine your workouts and experience the
transformative power of the Lifepro AeroFlex:
Improve cardiovascular fitness: improves heart health, boosts
metabolism and circulation, lowers blood pressure

calories

EXERCISE SAFETY AND TIPS
EXERCISE SAFETY
Consult with your physician before beginning a new exercise program.
Incorrect or excessive exercise or overexertion can be damaging to your
health. Always exercise within the heart-beat intensity level and time
limits recommended by your doctor.
Stop exercising immediately and consult your doctor if you begin to
feel faint, dizzy, nauseous, or experience pain, irregular heartbeat, or
shortness of breath.
When using the AeroFlex as a balance board, the surface is highly
unstable because it is designed to challenge your balance. Be aware,
you may fall off the AeroFlex, which could result in injury.
Always maintain control and move slowly while exercising with the
AeroFlex to prevent falling.
Wear comfortable athletic shoes with non-slip soles. Never use the
AeroFlex when wearing only socks or stockings as the slick material
could cause you to slip and fall.
Use a dry towel to wipe sweat off the surface of the platform before use
and during the workout. Sweat can make the surface very slippery.
Never use the AeroFlex while intoxicated. Do not use the AeroFlex
during or immediately after eating or when you feel tired. Do not use if
injured, ill, or if you have a fever.
Do not perform other activities while using the AeroFlex to avoid
accidents or injury.
Always inspect the AeroFlex for damage before use.
Remove items, especially sharp objects, from your pockets before using.
Do not wear jewelry, belts, or other accessories that could get snagged
and cause injury or falling.
SAFE PLACEMENT OF YOUR AEROFLEX
Ensure you have adequate clear space around you (at least seven feet on
all sides) in case you fall. Remove all objects from the surrounding area.
To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a fall, place an exercise mat or
pad over hard flooring, such as wood, tile, and linoleum.
Use the AeroFlex only on a flat, non-slip floor.
USING THE AEROFLEX AS A BALANCE BOARD
WARNING: Standing on the AeroFlex in either of the two balance
configurations has an increased risk of falling because the platform can
tip rapidly.
If you choose to stand on the platform, take extra precautions against
falling, such as:
Hold onto an appropriately-secured hand-hold, such as a door frame,
piece of heavy furniture, etc.
Place mats on the floor around the balance board.
Be extremely cautious if holding dumbbells or other equipment in
your hands.
Be prepared to fall. Even with precautions, standing on the platform is a
very advanced activity which could result in serious injury or death.
EXERCISE TIPS
Start slow and easy with 5–10 minute workouts. Work your way up to
longer, more challenging workouts over a period of several weeks.
Breathe naturally during exercise. Never hold your breath. Exhale during
exertion and inhale after exertion. For example, during a push-up, inhale
as you lower your body to the floor, exhale as you push yourself up.
Use proper form. Focus on only working the muscle groups intended for
the exercise you are performing. Maintain control through the entire
range of motion.
Drink plenty of water before and after exercise.
Spend at least five minutes warming up, including stretching, before
exercise and at least five minutes cooling down after exercise to prevent
pulled muscles and other sports injuries.
Make sure to take sufficient breaks between exercises. Also, take
sufficient time off between workout sessions.
Always wear appropriate athletic clothing. Appropriate clothing should
be comfortable, loose, and allow you to move freely.

USING THE AEROFLEX AS
A BALANCE BOARD
STEP 1: GETTING
COMFORTABLE STEPPING
ON AND OFF
Before you begin using
the AeroFlex as a balance
board, it is very important to
get comfortable stepping on
and off the surface of the
trainer.
1. Start with the AeroFlex
in the Front-to-Back Balance Board configuration, which is best for
beginner use. Follow the setup instructions on page 10.
2. Place the AeroFlex flat on the ground.
3. Step slowly onto the platform. Always move slowly, with controlled
movements.
4. Then, walk forward and off the platform, to the floor. See image above.
5. Repeat several times to get comfortable with the way the platform
moves under your feet. Make sure to alternate which foot you step onto
the platform with first.
6. After you become comfortable walking forward on the platform, try
standing to the side of the AeroFlex and stepping up and down from
the side of the platform.
7. After practicing mounting the platform from each side several times,
try stepping up and down off the platform backwards (the platform will
be behind you). Remember to always move slowly and with control.
CAUTION: If you feel like you are beginning to lose your balance while
standing on the platform, simply step off the AeroFlex and onto the floor.
STEP 2: GETTING COMFORTABLE STANDING
When you are comfortable stepping on and off the platform from all
directions, you’re ready to practice standing on the platform:
1. Step onto the platform with both feet.
2. Stand with your feet in the center of the platform, about hip-width
apart.
3. Put your arms up and out to the sides if you need help with balancing.
Alternately, you can place your hands on your hips to make balancing
more challenging.
4. Do the best you can to maintain good posture:
a. Keep your knees slightly bent. Don’t lock your knees.
b. Keep your feet as flat as possible.
c. Keep your head up, your back straight, and your shoulders back.
4. You should feel the muscles in your abs and backyour core muscles
engaging to help you maintain your balance. You should also feel the
muscles in your lower legs and feet working.
5. Relax while still maintaining proper posture. You will notice that it is
very difficult to maintain your balance while standing completely still.
This is completely normal. As you get more and more used to using the
AeroFlex and your core strength increases, you will find it easier to
maintain your balance with just small adjustments.
6. To increase the challenge: turn or tilt your head from side to side,
or close your eyes for a few seconds. These variations are more
challenging and it may take some time and effort to master them.
STEP 3: PERFORMING EXERCISES
While sitting, lying, or standing on the platform,
you can perform body-weight training exercises,
including calf raises, squats, planks, push-ups,
glute bridges, arm circles, leg circles, and tricep
dips.
WARNING: Use extra caution when standing on
the AeroFlex. Standing on the platform increases
the risk of falling which can cause serious injury
and even death.

16 AeroFlex User Manual Lifepro Endurance Training Collection 17
STEP 4: INCREASING EXERCISE DIFFICULTY
You can increase the difficulty of your
workouts gradually over time:
Slowly increase the time you hold
each exercise. Start by holding each
exercise for 5–10 seconds. Once you’ve
mastered that, try holding each for 15 seconds, then 30 seconds.
Continue to slowly increase.
Slowly increase the number of repetitions you perform of each exercise.
Start with 5–10 repetitions. Then, try increasing the number of
repetitions to 15–20, then 25–30. Continue to slowly increase.
Try incorporating more advanced body-
weight exercises into your workouts with
the AeroFlex, such as mountain climbers,
burpees, side planks, lunges, donkey kicks,
single-leg planks, supermans, plank jacks,
plank climbers, and more!
Try using the AeroFlex in the more advanced
Four-Way Balance Board configuration. See
setup instructions on page 11.
STEP 5: INCORPORATING STRENGTH TRAINING
To continue improving your strength and stamina, you can incorporate
strength training equipment such as dumbbells, resistance/yoga bands,
and ankle/wrist weights. Start with a low weight, such as 2 lbs. dumbbells
or resistance bands, and increase the weight slowly. Example variations:
Hold a small exercise ball between your knees as you do glute bridges.
Hold a dumbbell in each hand or use wrist weights when performing
exercises that work your arms, shoulders, chest, and upper back.
Use ankle weights when performing exercises that work your legs, hips,
and glutes.
Use resistance bands or elastic yoga bands to increase the challenge
when performing a wide range of body-weight exercises.
WARNING: Use extra caution when standing on the AeroFlex. Standing
on the platform increases the risk of falling which can cause serious injury
and even death.
USING THE AEROFLEX AS A
AEROBIC STEP PLATFORM
STEP 1: PERFORMING EXERCISES WITH YOUR
AEROFLEX
Step aerobics is a fun, fast-paced cardio workout that
provides endless workout variations.
Step up front-to-back:
1. Stand on the ground behind the AeroFlex
2. Step up onto the platform with your left foot. Step
up with your right foot.
3. Step backwards off the platform with your left
foot. Return your right to the floor.
4. Repeat 10–20 times.
5. Switch feet (step with your right foot first).
Step up side-to-side:
1. Stand on the ground to one side of the AeroFlex.
2. Step sideways up onto the platform with your inside foot. Step up with
your outside foot.
3. Step off the side of the platform with your outside foot. Return your
inside foot to the floor.
4. Repeat 10–20 times.
5. Stand on the other side of the board and switch feet.
STEP 2: INCREASING EXERCISE DIFFICULTY
Perform step aerobic variations:
Lift your knees up high as you step up.
Touch your opposite elbow to your knee as you step up.
Raise your arms above your head as you step up and down.

Hold a small exercise ball between your knees as you do glute bridges.
Hold a dumbbell in each hand or use wrist weights when performing
exercises that work your arms, shoulders, chest, and upper back.
Use ankle weights when performing exercises that work your legs, hips,
and glutes.
Use resistance bands or elastic yoga bands to increase the challenge
when performing a wide range of body-weight exercises.
WARNING: Use extra caution when standing on the AeroFlex. Standing
on the platform increases the risk of falling which can cause serious injury
and even death.
USING THE AEROFLEX AS A
AEROBIC STEP PLATFORM
STEP 1: PERFORMING EXERCISES WITH YOUR
AEROFLEX
Step aerobics is a fun, fast-paced cardio workout that
provides endless workout variations.
Step up front-to-back:
1. Stand on the ground behind the AeroFlex
2. Step up onto the platform with your left foot. Step
up with your right foot.
3. Step backwards off the platform with your left
foot. Return your right to the floor.
4. Repeat 10–20 times.
5. Switch feet (step with your right foot first).
Step up side-to-side:
1. Stand on the ground to one side of the AeroFlex.
2. Step sideways up onto the platform with your inside foot. Step up with
your outside foot.
3. Step off the side of the platform with your outside foot. Return your
inside foot to the floor.
4. Repeat 10–20 times.
5. Stand on the other side of the board and switch feet.
STEP 2: INCREASING EXERCISE DIFFICULTY
Perform step aerobic variations:
Lift your knees up high as you step up.
Touch your opposite elbow to your knee as you step up.
Raise your arms above your head as you step up and down.

ENDURANCE TRAINING
PREPARING FOR TRAINING
It is important to make an appointment with your physician for a checkup
and to discuss your training goals. Your physician can advise you on the most
suitable exercise type, duration, and exertion level for you and help you
create a suitable exercise plan before you begin using the AeroFlex. This is
especially important for people who:
Are older than 35 years of age.
Have blood pressure that is too high or too low.
Have heart problems.
Are overweight.
Have not done endurance or cardio workouts for a long period of time.
TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS
HYDRATION
Adequate hydration is essential before and during exercise. During a training
session of 30 minutes it is possible to lose up to 4 cups of liquid. You should
drink about 1.5 cups of water 30 minutes before beginning exercise. Take
care to maintain balanced hydration during your workout.
TRAINING FREQUENCY
Experts recommend endurance training 3–4 days a week to keep your
cardiovascular system fit. The more you train, the faster you will achieve
your training goals. However, it is important to plan sufficient breaks, to give
your body enough time for rest and recovery. After each training session,
you should take at least one day off.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Many beginners make the mistake of training too intensely. If your goal is
to run a marathon, your training intensity will certainly be high. However,
most people have training goals such as weight reduction, cardiac/exercise
training, stress reduction, and therefore should exercise at a lower intensity.
Slowly increase the number of step repetitions you perform. Start with
10–20 repetitions. Then, try increasing the number of repetitions to
20–30, then 30–40. Continue to slowly increase.
Pick up the pace. Try putting on some up-beat music and increase the
speed of your steps.
STEP 3: INCORPORATING STRENGTH TRAINING
To continue improving your strength and stamina, you can add strength
training equipment such as dumbbells, resistance/yoga bands, ankle/wrist
weights, or a medicine ball to your step aerobic workout. Start with a low
weight, such as 2 lbs. dumbbells or resistance bands, and increase the
amount of weight you use slowly.
Strength training options:
Hold a small dumbbell in each hand.
Wear wrist weights.
Hold a medicine ball in your hands.
Wear ankle weights.
Use resistance bands or elastic yoga bands.
PRO TIP: While sitting, lying, or standing on the platform in the step-
aerobic configuration, you can perform body-weight training exercises,
including calf raises, incline planks, push-ups, side planks, glute bridges,
single-leg planks, and tricep dips.

your cardiovascular health slowly over time. The most important thing is
to always listen to your body. If you are tired or sore, slow down or stop
training for the day.
20 AeroFlex User Manual Lifepro Endurance Training Collection 21
We recommend aiming for the appropriate target heart rate for your
particular training goal. See CALCULATING TARGET HEART RATE on page 23
for more information.
DURATION OF INDIVIDUAL TRAINING SESSIONS
For endurance training or weight reduction, the duration of each training
session should be 25–60 minutes. Beginners and those who have not
exercised regularly for a long period of time should start with short training
sessions of 10 minutes or less in the first week and slowly increase training
duration week to week.
TRAINING DOCUMENTATION
To stay motivated and to evaluate the success of your training, create
a training plan before beginning a new exercise routine. In your plan,
document data from each training session, such as distance, training time,
pulse, as well as data, such as body weight, blood pressure, resting heart
rate (measured in the morning right after waking up), and how you feel
during exercise. See the SAMPLE WEEKLY TRAINING PLAN on the bottom
of page 22.
TRAINING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: WARM-UP PHASE
Spend about 5 minutes doing warm-up stretches before exercising; this
prevents pulled muscles and other exercise injuries. Stretching gets blood
flowing and helps loosen your muscles so they are ready for exercise. While
doing the following stretches, do not force or jerk your muscles, and most
importantly, if it hurts: STOP. After stretching, continue your warm-up by
walking or riding a bike for 3–5 minutes at a low speed.
TOUCH YOUR TOES
1. Bend your knees slightly. Let your back and shoulders
relax as you bend over and try to touch your toes.
2. Hold the stretch for 10–15 seconds. Repeat 3 times.

CALCULATING TARGET HEART RATE
Calculate your personal target heart rate when training based on your fitness goals:
MAXIMUM HEART RATE
This value represents your maximum heart rate (“max HR”) and serves as a basis from
which to calculate your personal training heart rate.
HEALTH & WELLNESS TRAINING
Ideal for people who are overweight, older, beginners, or who do not exercise often.
Burn approx. 4–6 calories per minute to produce energy in this zone.
FAT BURNING TRAINING
Ideal for athletes and sports people who aim to lose weight.
Burn approx. 6–10 calories per minute to produce energy in this zone.
CONDITIONING & FITNESS TRAINING
Ideal for athletes and sports people who want to improve their stamina and/or
conditioning.
Burn approx. 10–12 calories per minute to produce energy in this zone.
For best results, calculate the average value of selected target zone (see chart above):
Health & Wellness: target zone average = 55% of max HR (max HR x 0.55)
Fat Burning: target zone average = 65% of max HR (max HR x 0.65)
Conditioning & Fitness: target zone average = 75% of max HR (max HR x 0.75)
Target Zone = 70-80% of Max HR
Target Zone = 50-60% of Max HR
220 - Your Age = Max Heart Rate
Target Zone = 60-70% of Max HR

EXERCISE SAFETY
Users should consult with a medical professional before beginning a new exercise
program. Your physician should assist you in determine the heart rate zone appropriate
for your age and physical condition. Your physician can help determine if you have
physical limitations that could create a health risk or prevent you from properly using this
equipment; some exercise programs or types of fitness equipment may not be appropriate
for all people. This is especially important for those who are or may be pregnant; those
over the age 35 or with pre-existing health problems; those who experience dizziness or
balance impairments or taking drugs that affect balance; those with heart conditions,
hypertension, blood clots, or taking medication that affects heart rate; those with a
pacemaker, artificial heart, or similar implant; those who have recently had surgery;
those with cancer or malignant tumors; those with orthopedic conditions, spinal injuries,
osteoporosis, fractures, herniated or slipped discs.
Incorrect or excessive exercise or overexertion can be damaging to your health. Always
exercise within intensity and time limits recommended by your doctor.
Stop exercising immediately and consult your doctor if you begin to feel faint, dizzy,
nauseous, or experience pain, irregular heartbeat, or shortness of breath.
When using the AeroFlex as a balance board, the surface is highly unstable because it is
designed to challenge your balance. You may fall off the AeroFlex, which could result in
severe injury or even death.
Ensure you have adequate clear space around you (at least seven feet on all sides) in

SONIC
VIBRATING MASSAGE GUN
The Sonic Vibrating Massage Gun is a deep tissue massager
that helps eliminate the aches and pains caused by long hours
of sitting. Use the Sonic to release muscle tension and relax
after a long day at work. Get relief from stiffness and pain in
your shoulders, neck, wrists, and hands caused by prolonged
digital device use.
The Sonic’s vibration technology penetrates deeply into
your muscles and fascia—treating areas that human
hands have difficulty reaching. High-frequency
vibrations loosen tight muscles, increase blood
flow to the area, and reduce inflammation.
The Sonic is lightweight and portable, making
it the perfect device to massage your own
shoulders and back. Five speeds allow you
to choose the intensity that will give you
the most relief as you target specific
muscle pain and stiffness.
SONIC BENEFITS
Reduce muscle pain
and inflammation
Release toxins
Improve circulation
Increase flexibility
Reduce stress
Loosen tight muscles
FROM OUR SPORTS RECOVERY COLLECTION
The Rhythm Vibration Platform works
by creating rapid vibrations throughout
the body, especially on the muscles
specifically targeted. These vibrations
cause the muscles to stretch, flex,
and relax at a rapid rate. This results
in increased muscle and bone growth,
improved flexibility, and boosted
metabolism—all of which increase
the number of calories you burn.
The Rhythm can be used by people
from every fitness level. If you
have suffered an injury or you
experience joint or back pain,
find relief and help prevent
future injuries by adding the
Rhythm to your rehab routine.
