Congratulations on purchasing your new FITT Gym!

FITT Cube is an innovative fitness tool engineered to give you everything you need for a circuit-

style, interval training workout

We want to make sure you get the most out of it but we want to you to be safe while you do.

That means:

• familiarising yourself with the product before attempting any advanced moves like JUMPS

• ensuring your workout environment offers space above and around you and a flat surface beneath you!

• Increasing the intensity only once you’re comfortable with the product, even if you are a regular gym goer

• changing your jumps to steps when you tire!

We are so excited for you to get started on FITT Cube – take care and #workthecube

BEGINNER

1. STEP

Get your step count up

3. TWIST

Work your core

EXAMPLE EXERCISES:

The 20 exercises identified in this guide are just the start. Once you’re familiar with FITT Cube and comfortable with the workouts, feel free to add your own exercises to your routine. Here are a few more to get you going:

Box Squat – a great bodyweight squat variation where you “tap” the jump platform with your bum at the base of the movement, before standing back up tall.

Lateral Ski Jumps – Grab the grips in a crouched press up position with your feet to one side of FITT Cube. Jump from side to side, trying to land outside the width of the cube whilst remaining light on your feet.

Mountain climbers – Grab the grips with your feet out behind you. Run on the spot, lifting your raised knee to your chest before planting it down and swapping legs at the same time.

Front raise – Grab the grips and stand up straight with FITT Cube against your thighs. Lift with almost straight arms in front of you until your arms are parallel to the ground, then lower in a controlled manner. Remember this is an unstable, 14kg product so ensure good posture and technique.

Burpee jump over – Instead of the burpee box jump described in this guide, you jump over the cube in the last phase of the movement, rotating to perform the next rep on the other side. This is really dynamic and an advanced move!

Seated row – Attach the resistance bands* and flip FITT Cube so that the twist seat is at the top. Sit in front of it so the soles of your feet are pressed flat against the stepper. Sit up tall and pull the resistance bands back, keeping your elbows close to your sides, squeezing your shoulder blades, then return your hands to the starting position.

Reverse fly – Attach the resistance bands* and flip FITT Cube so that the twist seat is at the top. Sit in front of it so the soles of your feet are pressed flat against the stepper. Sit up tall and pull the resistance bands, this time spreading your arms out wide as you do, before returning your hands to the starting position.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What are the functions?

STEP – a variety of exercises using the stepper. Think you’ve mastered it? Buy some resistance bands from HSTV for an upper body workout while you step.

GRIP – Grab the handles for push and pull exercises – press ups, dips, bent over rows etc.

TWIST – The comfortable twist seat is unrestricted so can be used from any angle for a variety of twisting exercises. Twist moves target parts of the core (transverse abdominis) responsible for pulling your tummy in.

JUMP – Plyometric (jump) exercises are excellent for strength and power and there

Is FITT Cube suitable for anybody of any fitness level? Yes. FITT Cube is your Functional Interval Training Tool (FITT). You dictate the tempo and the intensity and you choose your workout. We have highlighted which exercises we feel are more advanced but once you feel comfortable, they should all be achievable.

How do I get the most out of my FITT Cube? We’d recommend doing between 10 to 15 exercises per workout. Mix up upper and lower body work to get a total body, heart raising workout. Simply flip the cube during your rest period to the side you need for the next exercise.

What’s so good about interval training? Interval training is a great way to get an intense workout in a short period of time. A common split is 45 seconds on, 15 seconds off. If you carried out 10 exercises at this rate, you would complete your workout in 10 minutes! No matter how busy you are, you can spare 10 minutes!

How do I make my workout easier or harder? One of the big advantages of interval training is you can change the work-to-rest ratio. If you’re finding the workout too difficult, simply extend the rest period or reduce the work period. If you want to make it more intense, shorten the rest period and extend the work intervals.

What is the height limit for FITT Cube? There is no maximum or minimum height limit for FITT Cube. It is a training tool that can be comfortably used by a wide variety of heights.

What is the weight limit for FITT Cube? The product is tested to ENISO20957-1, EN957-2 and EN957-8 using 110kg as the maximum weight.
