PARTS:
(A) BOTTOM RUBBER TIP: is used to stabilize the end of the pole against a surface (i.e., floor, wall,
furniture etc...) while exercising.
(B) POLE: is positioned at varying angles while exercising to decrease or increase resistance.
(C) O-RINGS: are used during exercises to set your target goals. They can also be positioned on
both sides of sleeve to keep it from moving during bilateral exercises.
(D) SLEEVE: is grasped with the involved hand during exercises.
(E) TOP GRIP: can be grasped with the uninvolved hand to stabilize the pole during exercises.
*NOTE: If you purchased the SaeboGlide Plus, refer to the "SaeboGlide Plus" section located in the back of the
manual that explains the hand strapping system.
GETTING STARTED: It is important to have a good understanding of how to effectively use your
SaeboGlide to fully maximize its potential. To start you need to determine the following:
1. What is my starting point?
2. How do I effectively exercise at my current level?
3. When and how do I advance my exercises?
1.) DETERMINING YOUR STARTING POINT: It is important to determine what level of strength you
currently exhibit for each exercise. The SaeboGlide is designed to allow you to progress from level I
(poor/fair strength) to level II (fair/good strength). It is recommended that you attempt all level I
exercises first. If you can complete some or all of the level I exercises without difficulty then attempt the
level II exercises. Performing the exercises without difficulty means performing 3 sets of 10 repetitions of
the specified exercise from start to end position. It is common for people to be able to perform a
combination of level I and level II exercises. Therefore, determine the specific exercises you can and
cannot perform. The exercises you can perform will be your starting point and the exercises you cannot
perform will be your projected exercise goals. Your program mix will depend on your individual ability to
perform each exercise. Your starting program may consist of:
1. Only a few level I exercises.
2. All level I exercise.
3. A combination of level I and level II exercises.
4. All level II exercises.
