Effective fat burning
Beats per minutes (bpm)
Tailor your exercise program according to your physical condition.if you have been inactive for several years,or are overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment,a few minutes per workout increase is advisable.
Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone; however, your aerobic fitness will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to work at your own pace.
Please remember these essentials:
• Have your doctor review your training and diet programme to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.
• Begin your training programme slowly with realistic goals
• Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.
• Set up your equipment on a flat even surface with adequate training area,as prescribed in this manual.
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise at an appropriate intensity. The intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as your target zone. You can find your target zone in the table below.
25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 70
your target zone as you exercises.
To measure your heart rate, stop exercising but continue moving your legs or walking around and place two fingers on your wrist. Take a six-second heartbeat count and multiply the results by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six - second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the required level.
Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart - your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic
Exercise Information
Muscle chart
exercise fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs or buttocks, for example).
Weight Training
Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store, weight training is an essential part of an exercise routine. Weight training helps tone, build and strengthen muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lower number of reps.
Targeted Muscle Groups
The exercise routine that is performed on the training Bench will develop the upper body muscle groups. These muscle groups are highlighted on the muscle chart below.

Each workout should include the following three parts:
Exercise Frequency
Toe touch stretch
Hamstring stretch
Exercise Information
Warming up and Cooling down
1. A warm up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm up increases
your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise.
2. Training zone exercise consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise programme, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
3. A cool down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help
to prevent post-exercise problems.
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
