ASSEMBLY
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.
As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the fol-
lowing information and instructions:
. Assembly requires two people.
. Because of its size, the weight bench should be
assembled in the location where it will be used.
Make sure that there is enough clearance to walk
around the weight bench as you assemble it.
. Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.

Orient the Crossbar (3) so that the warning decals
are on top. Attach the Crossbar to an Upright (1)
with two M8 x 55mm Bolts (18), two M8 Washers
(16), and two M8 Locknuts (17); do not tighten
the Locknuts yet.
Attach the Crossbar (3) to the other Upright

ADJUSTMENT
The steps below explain how the weight bench can be adjusted. See the accompanying exercise guide to see
the correct form for several exercises.
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight bench is used. Replace any worn parts immediately.

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 mus-
cles will continually adapt and grow as you
progressively increase the intensity of your exercise.
You can adjust the intensity level of an individual exer-
cise in two ways:
o by changing the amount of resistance used
o 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 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 mod-
erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of resistance and increase the number of rep-
etitions 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 com-
pleting more sets rather than by using high amounts of
resistance.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exer-
cise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus
develop your heart and lungs.
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Determining the appropriate length of time for each
workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
complete, is an individual matter. Avoid overdoing it
during the first few months of your exercise program.
Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your
body's signals. If you experience pain or dizziness
while exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
Find out what is wrong before continuing. Remember
that adequate rest and a proper diet are important fac-
tors 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 deliver-
ing more oxygen to your muscles.
WORKING OUT
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis-
es. 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 workout to workout.
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 Training
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a bal-
anced program follows:
o Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
o Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical exer-
ciser or exercise cycle, on Tuesday and Thursday.
o Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
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 way will leave you feel-
ing exhausted. On the exercise guide accompanying
this manual you will find photographs showing the cor-
rect form for several exercises, and a list of the
muscles affected. See the muscle chart on the next
page to find the names of the muscles.
12
Page 13

The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stroke of
each repetition should last about half as long as the
return stroke. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
during the exertion stroke of each repetition and
inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your
breath.
Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods follow:
o Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
o Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
out.
o 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. Write
the date, the exercises performed, the resistance
used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions com-
pleted. Record your weight and key body
measurements at the end of every month. The key to
achieving the greatest results is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
