The WEIDER¨BUN & AB TONER PLUS offers a variety of exercises that tone your hips and thighs, abdominals and back, arms, and chest. The photographs in this exercise guide show the proper form for each exercise.
To tailor the intensity of each exercise to the level thatÕs right for you, simply change the resistance bands, add weights, or change the number of repetitions that you per­form. (See How to Adjust the Resistance at the right.) Start with the lowest resistance level. When you can easily com­plete several repetitions of all exercises, move up to the next resistance level. Be careful to avoid overdoing it dur­ing the first few weeks of your exercise program. It is bet­ter to increase the number of repetitions you do than to increase the resistance too quickly.
Always begin and end each workout with a few minutes of stretching. Stretching prepares the body for exercise by increasing the body temperature, heart rate, and circulation. After exercise, stretching allows the heart rate to return to normal and the muscles to cool down gradually. Stretching after exercise is also very effective for increasing flexibility.
Remember to keep plenty of water nearby as you exercise, and drink periodically to avoid dehydration. If you feel
faint, dizzy, or short of breath while exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down.
The WEIDER¨BUN & AB TONER PLUS offers many different resistance levels to allow you to tailor the intensi­ty of your exercise.
The resistance bands can be attached in differ­ent combinations to provide seven different resistance levels. To connect one of the resis­tance bands, lie on the contoured body seat and place the resis­tance belt on your abdomen. Then, firmly hold the knob on one end of a resistance band, pull the knob up, and fit the knob into the appropriate groove in the resistance belt. Attach the other end of the resistance band to the other side of the resistance belt. Always be
sure that you attach the same resistance band on both sides of the resistance belt. To disconnect a resistance
band, firmly hold the knob, pull the knob out of the groove in the resistance belt, and rest the knob in the groove in the contoured body seat.
If you are just beginning an exercise program, connect only resistance band A to the resistance belt. This will give you the lowest resistance level. To select an intermediate resis­tance level, connect various combinations of the three resistance bands. When you are ready for an advanced resistance level, connect all three resistance bands. The approximate level of difficulty is as follows (from lowest resistance to highest resistance): 1stÐband A, 2ndÐband B, 3rdÐbands A and B, 4thÐband C, 5thÐbands A and C, 6thÐbands B and C, 7thÐbands A, B, and C.
You can further increase the resis­tance level by adding one or two of the two pound weights to the resistance belt. To attach the weights, lift the flex band and slide one or two of the weights under the flex band. Be sure the
weights are securely seated in the grooves in the resis­tance belt. Lower the flex band to securely hold the
weights in place.
