TROUBLESHOOTING

RECALIBRATING THE CONSOLE

To recalibrate the Console (21), first plug in the resist-
ance system (see PLUGGING IN THE RESISTANCE
SYSTEM on page 20). Then, press and hold the

NEXT button and the MOTORIZED WEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT + button for five seconds. When the

buttons are released, a number will appear in the
REPS display. Press the NEXT button again, and
then press the MOTORIZED WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
+ button; this will start the recalibration process. This
may take a few seconds as the motor moves between
the lowest and highest resistance settings. When the
motor finishes, unplug the transformer from the !20-

volt outlet.

The Console (21) will be recalibrated. Use the resist-
ance system as described in the CONSOLE OPERA-
TION section, starting on page 20.

TIGHTENING THE ROPE

The type of rope used on the resistance system can
stretch slightly when it is first used. If there is slack in

the rope before resistance is felt, the rope should be
tightened.

29

70

To tighten the Rope (70), first set the system resist-
ance level to 100 pounds. Locate the end of the Rope

with the Rope Clamps (165, 166) and pull it out until
the Rope is tight. Then, measure the distance between

the Rope Cover (169) and the Swivel Arm (29).

Set the system resistance to the lowest level. Have a
second peron pull the Rope (70) out and hold it while

the Rope is adjusted. Push the Rope Cover (!69)
down the Rope and loosen the two M5 x 16mm

Button Screws (164). Pull the Rope through the Link
(!67) and the Rope Clamps (165, 166) to shorten the

Rope by the measured amount. Then, retighten the

two Screws and cover the Rope Clamps with the

Rope Cover. Note: There should be t/2" between

the Link and the Rope Clamps.

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 progres-
sively 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 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.

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 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 bike, 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 exer-
cise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus devel-
op 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 overdo-
ing it during the first few months of your exercise pro-
gram. 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 immedi-
ately 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 pro-
gram.

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 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.

23

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 !0 minutes of stretching.

Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move

L

D

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 25 and 26 of this manual can be pho-
tocopied and used to schedule and record your work-
outs. List the date, the exercises performed, the resist-
ance used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions
completed. Record your weight and key body meas-
urements at the end of every month. Remember, the
key to achieving the greatest results is to make exer-
cise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
