Intermediate · 9 min read
Quick-start checklist
- 1Clear workout zone with 6 ft boundary markers
- 2Load resistance band coaching set levels
- 3Set spotting rules for free weights
- 4Schedule post-workout recovery with foam roller caddy
Home workouts with Optimus focus on safety, form cues, and recovery — not replacing a certified trainer. It's best for solo sessions when you want a spotter on call.
Zone setup
- Mark a 6ft × 8ft workout zone with floor boundary markers
- Clear the area of furniture, toys, and pets before every session
- Mount the Foam Roller Caddy on the wall for post-workout recovery
Resistance band coaching
- Use the 5-level color-coded Resistance Band Coaching Set
- Start at yellow (light) for week 1, progress by color as strength improves
- Optimus provides tension reminders and rep counting — not medical advice
Optimus spots and supports — it does not lift weights for you or catch falling barbells. Keep free-weight sessions light and within the marked zone.
