This section explains how to adjust the slant board. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 9 for important
information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying exer­cise guide to see the correct form for each exercise.

Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the slant board. Replace any worn parts immediately.
The slant board can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

WARNING: Always make sure the

Locking Pin (21) is fully inserted through the
Frame (1) and the Pivot Bracket (6).

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS

Muscle Building

To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
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 weight used

• by changing the number of repetitions or sets per-

formed. (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 weight for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of weight 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 weight.

Toning

You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a mod­erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of weight 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
weight.

Weight Loss

To lose weight, use a low amount of weight 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 Training

Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a bal­anced program is:

• Plan weight training workouts on Monday,

Wednesday, and Friday.

• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as

cycling or swimming, on Tuesday and Thursday.

• Rest from both weight training and aerobic exercise

for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.

The combination of weight training and aerobic exer­cise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus devel­op your heart and lungs.

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 accompany­ing 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 page
10 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.

9

Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
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. List
the date, the exercises performed, the weight 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.
