ASSEMBLY
Make Things Easier for Yourself
This manual is designed to ensure that the resist­ance system can be assembled successfully by most people. However, it is important to realize that the versatile resistance system has many parts and that the assembly process will take time. Most people find that by setting aside plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the following information and instructions:
Assembly requires two persons.
Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.
For help identifying small parts, use the PART IDENTIFICATION CHART. Note: Some small
parts may have been pre-attached for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-attached.
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
As you assemble the resistance system, make
sure all parts are oriented as shown in the draw­ings.
The included Allen wrenches and the fol­lowing tools (not included) are required for assembly:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One rubber mallet
• One standard screwdriver
• One Phillips screwdriver
• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly, and soapy water.
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.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
Muscle Building
o increase the size and strength of your muscles,
T push them close to their maximum capacity. Your mus­cles will continually adapt and grow as you progres­sively increase the intensity of your exercise. You can adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise in two ways:
• by changing the amount of resistance used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets per­formed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of repetitions.)
The proper amount of resistance for each exercise depends upon the individual user. You must gauge your limits and select 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
You can tone your muscles by pushing 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 T
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and well-balanced fitness program. An example of a bal­anced program is:
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical or exercise cycle, on Tuesday and Thursday.
• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise for at least one full day each week to give your body time to regenerate.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exer­cise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus devel­op your heart and lungs.
raining
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Determining the exact length of time for each workout, as well as the number of repetitions or sets completed, is an individual matter. It is important to avoid overdo­ing it during the first few months of your exercise pro­gram. You should progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immedi­ately and begin cooling down. Find out what is wrong before continuing. Remember that adequate rest and a proper diet are important factors in any exercise pro­gram.
WARMING UP
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing circulation, raising your body temperature and deliver­ing more oxygen to your muscles.
WORKING OUT
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis­es. Select exercises for every major muscle group, emphasizing areas that you want to develop most. To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the exercises from session to session.
Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your energy level is the highest. Each workout should be followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the schedule that is right for you, stick with it.
EXERCISE FORM
Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an effective exercise program. This requires moving through the full range of motion for each exercise, and moving only the appropriate parts of the body. Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompany ing this manual you will find photographs showing the correct form for several exercises, and a list of the muscles affected. Refer to the muscle chart on the next page to find the names of the muscles.
The repetitions in each set should be performed smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of each repetition should last about half as long as the return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.

ideal resting periods are:
Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
• building workout. Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
• out.
• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing yourself with the equipment and learning the proper form for each exercise.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout is an effective way to increase flexibility.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The chart on pages 26 and 27 of this manual can be pho­tocopied and used to schedule and record your work­outs. List the date, the exercises performed, the resist­ance used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed. Record your weight and key body meas­urements at the end of every month. Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results is to make exer­cise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
