doing a toning workout, and 30 seconds after each set
if you are doing a weight loss workout. Plan to spend
the first couple of weeks familiarising 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 stretchÑdo 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 very
effective for increasing flexibility.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The

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.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
¥ Muscle Building
In order to increase the size and strength of your muscles, you must push your muscles to a high percentage of their capacity. You must also progressively
increase the intensity of your exercise so that your
muscles will continually adapt and grow. Each individual exercise can be tailored to the proper intensity
level by changing the amount of weight used, or the
number of repetitions or sets performed. (A ÒrepetitionÓ
is one complete cycle of an exercise, such as one situp. A ÒsetÓ is a series of repetitions performed consecutively.)
The proper amount of weight for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. It is up to you to
gauge your limits. Select the amount of weight that
you think is right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each exercise that 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
To tone your muscles, you must push your muscles 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
In the pursuit of a complete and well-balanced fitness
program, many have found that cross training is the
answer. We recommend that on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday, you plan weight training workouts. On
Tuesday and Thursday, plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as cycling, running or swimming.
Rest from both weight training and aerobic exercise for
at least one full day each week to give your body time
to regenerate. By combining weight training with aerobic exercise, you can reshape and strengthen your
body, plus develop a stronger heart and lungs.
PERSONALISING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
We have not specified an exact length of time for each
workout, or a specific number of repetitions or sets for
each exercise. It is very important to avoid overdoing it
during the first few months of your exercise program,
and to progress at your own pace. If you experience
pain or dizziness at any time whilst exercising, stop
immediately and begin to cool down. Find out what is
wrong before continuing. Remember that adequate
rest and a proper diet are also important.
WARMING UP
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of light
stretching and exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares your body for 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,
with emphasis on the areas that you want to develop
the most. To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the exercises from workout to workout.
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
In order to obtain the greatest benefits from exercising,
it is essential to maintain proper form.
Maintaining proper form means 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 poster accompanying this manual,
you will find photographs showing the correct form for
several exercises. A description of each exercise is
also provided, along with a list of the muscles affected.
Refer to the muscle chart on page 16 to find the locations 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. Rest
for 3 minutes after each set if you are doing a muscle
building workout, 1 minute after each set if you are

ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT BENCH
The weight bench is designed to be used with your own weight set (not included). The steps below explain how
the weight bench can be adjusted. See EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 14 for important exercise information.
Refer also to the exercise information accompanying your weight set (not included) for additional exercises.
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
ATTACHING WEIGHTS TO THE WEIGHT CARRIAGE
To use the high or low pulley station, first slide a Weight
Stop (35) onto each side of the weight tube of the Weight
Carriage (52). Slide the desired amount of weight (not
included) onto the weight tube. Be sure that an equal
amount of weight is on each side of the weight tube.
Secure the weights on each side of the weight tube with a
Spring Clip (44).
ATTACHING WEIGHTS TO THE LEG LEVER
To use the Leg Lever (32), be sure there is a Weight Stop
(35) on the weight tube. Then slide the desired amount of
weight (not included) onto the weight tube.
ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
The Backrest (29) can be set at three different positions:
the level position, the decline position, and the incline position.
To change the position of the Backrest (29), move the
Adjustment Tube (31) to a different set of adjustment
brackets on the Left and Right Uprights (18, 19). Make
sure that the Adjustment Tube is securely seated in
the adjustment brackets and that it is also firmly seated in one of the slots in the Adjustment Backrest
Bracket (26).
