3 - General Exercise Guidelines
Training Suggestions
Before you workout
Prior to starting a training program, get a complete physical exam to make sure your physician agrees
that you are ready. Always warm-up your muscles before a workout. A 5 - 10 minute cardio warm-up
followed by slow stretching (no bouncing) is recommended. Continue with a lighter set (50% of normal of
intended exercises. Proper breathing is very important. Exhale during muscle exertion, and inhale while
returning to the start position. Start your program conservatively. Choose weights you can easily lift in the
fi rst weeks. Always perform the full range of motion unless you have an injury, then consult a professional
trainer. Your Cybex dealer can help you fi nd one. Know the terms? A “repetition” (rep) is defi ned as one
complete movement through an exercise, returning to the start position. A “set” is a continuous series of
reps usually between 6 - 15.
During your workout
The number of reps. you perform in a set depends on your goal. To build muscle and strength, do fewer
reps (6 - 8) with heavier weight. To fi rm your muscles and build endurance, do more reps. (12 - 15)
with lighter weight. Never “cheat” by shortening the range of motion, bouncing the weight, or shifting
your posture. This may allow you to lift more weight, but it is dangerous and less effective. Catch your
breath between sets, then continue. When “circuit training” move briskly to the next exercise; when
doing multiple sets on one exercise, rest 45 - 90 seconds before the next set. Work up to three sets per
exercise. When you can perform the desired reps and sets for any exercise, increase the weight by a
half or full plate.
Designing your workout
Circuit training is a good way to start. This involves doing one set per exercise, then moving to the next
exercise, pausing only briefl y between them (to keep your heart and breath rate up) until completing a
balanced “circuit” of 8 - 10 exercises for your entire body. Then repeat the circuit. After several weeks,
you can move into multiple sets (3 in a row) per exercise if you choose. For both of these, exercise the
complete body every other day, up to three times a week. Note: A full day’s rest, plus proper nutrition and hydration are required for optimum muscle-building or toning. Alternatively, work out half your body one
day (e.g., the upper body) and the other half the following day (e.g. the lower body). To reduce muscle
soreness, end each series of sets for a given muscle with a set of increased reps and lighter weights.
At the end of your workout, cool down in a similar way to your warm-up.

Glossary
Abduction - movement away from the mid-line of the body.
Acceleration - the rate at which an object’s velocity changes with time; that is the change of velocity
divided by the time interval.
Accuracy - freedom from error. Degree of conformity of a measure to a standard or a true value.
Action Line - the direction of pull created by the fi bers or tendons of the muscle at the point of
application.
Active Insuffi ciency - a two joint muscle loses the ability to cross-bridge (generate force) due to full
shortening over its greatest anatomical length and tension created in an opposing muscle (antagonist).
Active Range of Motion - the degree of motion that occurs between two adjacent segments through
voluntary contraction of the agonist.
Active Stabilization - provided by an internal force. Static stabilization is provided through an isometric
contraction where dynamic stabilization is a series of motions. Dynamic stabilizers maintain the relative
positions of the segments, preventing undesirable or unnecessary motions due to external forces as well
as artifacts of internal forces. May also refer to the concentric/eccentric contractions of a muscle acting in
a force couple to produce motion while maintaining a relatively fi xed axis of rotation.
Adipose tissue - fat tissue.
Adduction - movement towards the mid-line of the body.
Agonist - (prime mover) the muscle most involved in producing a movement.
Aerobic - utilizing oxygen.
Aerobic endurance - the ability to persist in physical activities that rely heavily upon oxygen for energy
production.
Anabolic - pertaining to the synthesis of complex substances from simpler substances, especially to the
synthesis of body proteins from amino acids.
Anaerobic - without oxygen.
Anaerobic endurance - the ability to persist in physical activities of short duration that require high
rates of energy expenditure. These high rates of energy expenditure cannot be met solely by aerobic
metabolism.
Anthropometrics - measurements and relationships of length and girth of body parts.
Antagonist - the muscle in opposition to the agonist.
Anatomical Position - standing erect, with feet and palms facing forward.
Anatomical Pulley - a bone or skeletal prominence that alters the direction of the pull of a muscle to
increase the muscle’s mechanical advantage.

Anatomy - geography, naming by orientation and/or apparent capability (non-functional).
Anchor Points - the points at which a load enters and exits the body and/or limb.
Anterior - anatomical term meaning towards the front. Same as ventral.
Assistant Mover - a muscle that is less effective at performing a specifi ed motion, but does have a
small degree of mechanical ability to help the prime mover. There are many borderline cases.
Atrophy - reduction in size of cells and tissues.
Axis of Rotation - imaginary line or point which an object rotates.
Bilateral - refers to both sides.
Biolocomotion - a perspective/description of the human body and its mechanics based upon
locomotion. All animals with legs (regardless of numbers) move with the same mechanics. Gravity
is the common denominator.
Biomechanics - analysis of the load placed on a joint by both the muscle and resistance. Anatomy,
Kinesiology, and Physics = Engineering.
Body composition - the component parts of the body - mainly fat and fat-free weight.
Calorie - a unit of work or energy equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g
of water to 1 degree C.
Cam - a mechanical device used to vary leverage.
Carbohydrate - a chemical compound consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in specifi ed
arrangements. Carbohydrates are major components of food such as bread, potatoes and rice.
Cardiovascular - pertaining to the heart and blood vessels.
Cartilage - there are several types. Hyaline cartilage is a relatively thin covering on the ends of many
bones. It forms a smooth, resilient, low friction surface for the movement of one bone on another.
Wedges of cartilage (fi brocartilage) called menisci, disks and labrums are to increase stability, provide
shock absorption, and to facilitate motion in some joints.
Center of Gravity - the center of a body’s mass. In the human body, it is the point which all parts are
in balance with one another. The COG may be within the body, altered by the position of the body even
to the point of being outside the body (pike position), or altered by the addiction of load to specifi c body
areas.
Circumduction - a circular movement permitted at ball and socket, condylar and saddle joints. Consists
of fl exion, abduction, extension and adduction in sequence.
Circuit Training - a conditioning program consisting of a number of exercises performed at “stations”.
Usually, a given exercise is performed at a station within a specifi ed time; then the athlete moves to the
next station, with its own particular exercise and specifi ed time, then to the next station, and so on.
General
Exercise
Guidelines

Closed Chain Kinetic Exercise - a series of rigid links interconnected by a series of pincentered joints.
These are constructed so that motion at one joint will produce motion at all the joints in the system.
Produces greater mechanical effi ciency at the risk of increased joint loading. Leg press, bench press.
Close-Packed Position - all synovial joints have a position where joint surfaces are maximally congruent
and the ligaments and capsule are maximally taut.
Collagen - a fi brous protein that serves as the major component of ligaments and tendons.
Compression - two forces acting along the same line towards each other that constitute a compressive
load or compressive stress.
Concentric action - contraction of a muscle resulting in shortening of the muscle.
Connective Tissue - comprised of mostly the proteins collagen and elastin with water; includes tendons,

Isokinetic Contraction - a muscular contraction through a range of motion at a constant velocity.
Isometric - a contraction in which movement is produced but no movement occurs.
Isometric (static) Contraction - a muscular contraction in which there is no change in the angle of
the involved joint(s) and little or no change in the length of the contracting muscle.
Isotonic - a contraction in which movement is produced.
Medial Rotation - movement around an axis and toward the mid-line of the body. Also termed internal
rotation.

against a light load for an extended period of time.
Neutral - a point between the two extremes of a joint’s range of motion.
Obesity - excess body fat.
Open Kinematic Chain - the ends of the limbs are free to move without causing motion at another
joint. Open chain motions are not predictable because the joints amy function either independently or
in unison. Less mechanically effi cient, therefore more stress is placed upon muscular tissue.

Range of Motion - the amount of motion available to a joint within the anatomical limits of the joint
structure. Can be classifi ed as Passive (movement produced via a force outside the limb), Active
(movement produced by muscles within the limb) or Resisted (movement challenged under additional
load). The amount of resistance will affect the range of motion with direct proportion.
Reciprocal Inhibition - contraction of agonist causes relaxation of antagonist.
Reliability - the extent to which an experiment, test or measuring procedure yields the same results on
repeated trials. Also known as reproducibility or repeatability.
Repetition Maximum (RM) - the maximum load that a muscle or muscle group can lift in a given number
of repetitions before fatiguing. For example, an eight-RM load is the maximum load that can be lifted
eight times.
Repositioners - muscles that lift the extremity and move it to a new location allowing the prime movers
to again accept load or propel.

past one another without the fi laments changing length.Slow-twitch Fibers - skeletal muscle fi bers characterized by relatively slow contraction times and
great capacity for the aerobic production of adenosine triphosphate.
Sprain - the permanent deformation of the structure due to excessive or prolonged stress/strain.
Spurt Muscle - directs the greater part of its force across the bone it is moving rather than along it
(creating greater effort towards motion). The biceps is a spurt during an arm curl.

Please Review Carefully
When using strong cleaning agents such as rubbing alcohol or bleach, it is advisable to fi rst test in an
inconspicuous area. Other cleaning agents may contain harsh or unknown solvents and are subject to
formula changes by the product manufacturer without notice. Should you desire to use other cleaning
agents, carefully try them in an inconspicuous area to determine potential damage to the material. Never
use harsh solvents or cleaners which are intended for industrial applications. To clean stained or soiled
areas, a soft white cloth is recommended. Avoid use of paper towels.
Cleaning products may be harmful/irritating to your skin, eyes, etc. Use protective gloves and eye
protection. Do not inhale or swallow any cleaning product. Protect surrounding area/clothing from
exposure. Use in a well ventilated area. Follow all product manufacturer’s warnings. Cybex and its
vendors cannot be held responsible for damage or injuries resulting from the use or misuse of cleaning
products.
