Exercise guidelines

Building Muscle and Gaining Weight

Unlike aerobic exercise, which emphasizes
endurance training, anaerobic exercise focuses on
strength training. A gradual weight gain can occur
while building the size and strength of muscles.
While developing muscle mass, your body adapts
to the stress placed upon it. You can modify
your diet to include foods such as meat, fish and
vegetables.
These foods help muscles recover and replenish
important nutrients after a strenuous workout.

Muscle Strength and Endurance

To achieve the greatest benefit from exercise, it
is important to develop an exercise program that
allows you to work all of the major muscle groups
equally.

To increase muscles strength; follow this principle:
Increasing resistance and maintaining the number
of repetitions of an exercise results in increased
muscle strength.

To tone your body, follow the principle: Decreasing
resistance plus increasing the number of repetitions
of an exercise results in increased body tone.

Once you feel comfortable with an exercise,
you can change the resistance, the number of
repetitions, or the speed at which you do the
exercise. It is not necessary to change all three
variables. For example, let’s say that you are
training at 22kgs and performing the exercise 10
times in 3 minutes. When this becomes too easy,
you may decide to move up lifting 27kgs for the
same number of repetitions in the same amount of
time. Lifting more weights fewer times most often
develops muscle strength. To gain both muscle
strength and endurance, it is recommended that
you perform each exercise 15 to 20 reps per set.

Do not tighten all Nuts and

Bolts in this step.

Training Intensity

How hard you begin to train depends on
your overall level of fitness. The soreness you
experienced can be lessened by decreasing the
load you place on your muscles and by performing
fewer sets.

To avoid injury, you should gradually work into
an exercise program and set the load to your
individual fitness level. The load should increase as
your fitness level increases.

Muscle soreness is common, especially when you
first start exercising. If you are painfully sore for a
long time, it may be time to change your program.
Eventually, your muscle system will become
accustomed to the stress and strain placed on it

Beginning a Strength Building Program

Warming Up

To begin strength training, it is important to stretch
and perform light exercise for 5 to 10 minutes.
This helps prepare the body for more strenuous
exercise by increasing circulation, raising your body
temperature and developing more oxygen to your
muscles.

body during exercise. The water you lose through
exercise must be replaced so that the muscles can
recover properly.

Rest Day

Although you may not feel like doing it, taking
a rest day at least once a week is important
because it gives you body a chance to heal it self.
Continuously working your muscle will result in
over training which will not benefit in the long run.

Care and maintenance

periodically.

2. Inspect and tighten all parts before using the
equipment.

3. The equipment can be cleaned using a damp
cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. DO
NOT use solvents.

4. Examine the equipment regularly for signs of

5. Replace any defective components

6. Failure to examine regularly may affect the

Workout

Each workout to keep in mind that muscle soreness
that lasts for a long period in not desirable and
may mean that injury has occurred.

Cool Down

At the end of each workout, perform slow
stretching exercises for 5 to 10 minutes. Ease
into each stretch only going as far as you can.
This stage allows your muscles wind down after
training.

To provide a total workout program it is also
recommended that 2 to 3 days of aerobic exercise
is performed in addition to the strength training.

Drinking Water

For the body to function properly, it must be
properly hydrated. If you are exercising, you should
increase your fluid intake. The reason for this is
that the water you take in will leave your system
through the sweating mechanism that cools your
