ADJUSTING THE WELDER PRO 205

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 11 for important exemise information

and refer to the accompanying exercise poster to see the correct form for each exercise. Refer also to the exer-

cise information accompanying your weight set (not included) for additional exercises.

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight bench. Replace any wom pads 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 LEG LEVER

(28) on the weight tube. Then slide the desired amount of

weight (not included) onto the weight tube.

ADJUSTING THE BACKREST

The Backrest (15) can be set at three different positions:

the level position, the decline position, and the incline posi-

tion.

incline position or the level position, move the Adjustment

Tube (13) to a different set of adjustment brackets on the

Left and Right Updghts (1, 22). Set the Backrest (15) onto

barbell tipping while you change weights. Place the same

amount of weight on both ends of the barbell.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS

• Muscle Building

In order to increase the size and strength of your mus*

cles, you must push your muscles to ahigh percent-

age of their capacity. You must also progressively

increase the intensity of your exemise so that your

muscles will continually adapt and grow. Each individ-

ual 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 =repetition"

is one complete cycle of an exemise, such as one sit-

up. A "set" is a series of repetitions performed consec-

utively.)

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 fight for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repeti-

tions for each exercise that you perform. Rest for 3

minutes after each seL When you can complete 3 sets

of 12 repetitions without dift'multy,increase the amount

of weight.

• Toning

To tone your muscles, you must push your muscles to

a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a mod-

erate 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 I minute after each seL 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.

Exemise 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 cress 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 aero-

bic 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 aero-

bic exercise, you can reshape and strengthen your

body, plus develop a stronger heart and lungs.

PERSONALIZING 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 firstfew months of your exerciseprogram,

and to progress at your own pace. If you expedence

pain or dizziness at any time while exemising, stop

immediately and begin to cool down. Find out what is

wrong before continuing. Remember that adequate

rest and a proper diet are also importanL

WARMING UP

Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of light

stretching and exercise to warm up. Warming up pre-

pe_resyour 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 exercis-

es. _etect 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 work-

outs, vary the exercises from workout to workout.

Schedule your workoutsfor 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 :foryou, 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 pads of the body. Exercising in an

uncontrolled manner will leave you feeling exhausted.

On the exercise pester 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 12 to find the loca-

tions 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

ratum 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

doing a toning workout, and 30 seormds after each set

you are doing a weight loss workout. Plan to spend

the firstcouple of weeks familiarizing yourself with the

equipment and leaming the proper form for each exero

rise.

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--do not bounce. Ease into each

stretch gradually and go only as far as you can without

strain. Stretching at the and of each workout is very

effective for increasing flexibility.

STAYING MOTIVATED

For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The

•chart on page 13 of this manual can be photocopied

and used to schedule and record your workouts. List

the date, exercises performed, weight, and 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.
