dismount, and use the weight bench.
7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
8. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
9. Always set both weight rests at the same

ASSEMBLY
• To hire an authorized service technician to
assemble the weight bench in your home, call
1-800-445-2480.
• Assembly requires two persons.
• Because of its size and weight, assemble the
weight bench in the location where it will be used.
Make sure that there is enough clearance to walk
around the weight bench as you assemble it.
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until you complete all assembly steps.
• To identify small parts, see page 5.
1. Identify the Left Upright Base (13), which is
marked with a “Left” sticker.
Orient a Stabilizer (5) so that the square holes
are facing the floor.
Attach the Left Upright Base (13) to the Stabilizer
(5) with two M10 x 47mm Carriage Bolts (44)
and two M10 Locknuts (40). Do not tighten the
Locknuts yet.
Insert two M10 x 47mm Carriage Bolts (44)
upward into the remaining holes in the Stabilizer
(5).
Repeat this step with the Right Upright Base
(20) and the other Stabilizer (5).
• The following tools (not included) may be required
for assembly:
two adjustable wrenches
one rubber mallet
one standard screwdriver
one Phillips screwdriver
Assembly will be more convenient if you have
a socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches. To avoid
damaging parts, do not use power tools.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
FOUR TYPES OF STRENGTH WORKOUTS
Note: A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of
repetitions.
Muscle Building—Work your muscles near their maximum capacity and progressively increase the intensity
of your exercise. Adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise as follows:
• Change the amount of resistance used.
• Change the number of repetitions or sets performed.
Use your own judgment to determine the amount of
resistance that is right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8
repetitions for each exercise you perform. Rest for 3
minutes after each set. When you can complete 3 sets
of 12 repetitions without difficulty, increase the amount
of resistance.
Toning—Tone your muscles by working them to a
moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate amount of resistance and increase the number of
repetitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to
20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for
1 minute after each set. Work your muscles by completing more sets rather than by using high amounts of
resistance.
Weight Loss—To lose weight, use a low amount of
resistance and increase the number of repetitions in
each set. Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a
maximum of 30 seconds between sets.
Cross Training—Combine strength training and aerobic exercise by following this type of program:
• Strength workouts on Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday.
• 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on Tuesday and
Thursday.
• One full day of rest each week to give your body time
to regenerate.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
complete. Progress at your own pace and be sensitive
to your body’s signals. Follow each strength workout
with at least one day of rest.
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Working Out—Include 6 to 10 different exercises in
each workout. Select exercises for every major muscle
group, emphasizing areas that you want to develop.
To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the
exercises from workout to workout.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FORM
Move through the full range of motion for each exercise and move only the appropriate parts of the body.
Perform the repetitions in each set smoothly and
without pausing. The exertion stage of each repetition should last about half as long as the return stage.
Exhale during the exertion stage of each repetition and
inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.
Rest for a short period of time after each set:
• Muscle Building—Rest for three minutes after each
set.
• Toning—Rest for one minute after each set.
• Weight Loss—Rest for 30 seconds after each set.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. Write
the date, the exercises performed, the resistance used,
and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed.
Record your weight and key body measurements once
a month. To achieve good results, make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your life.
Familiarize yourself with the equipment and learn the
proper form for each exercise. Use your own judgment
to determine the appropriate length of time for each
