cise tower

to mount, dismount, and use it.

5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away

from your exercise tower at all times.

7. Your exercise tower should not be used by

ASSEMBLY

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the

following information and instructions:

• To hire an authorized service technician to

assemble the exercise tower, call 1-800-445-

2480.

• Assembly requires two persons.

• Because of its size, the exercise tower should be

assembled in the location where it will be used.

Make sure that there is enough clearance to walk

around the exercise tower as you assemble it.

• For help identifying small parts, use the PART

IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.

•Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the

packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing

materials until assembly is completed.

•As you assemble the exercise tower, make sure

all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless

instructed to do otherwise.

• Assembly requires the following tools:

two adjustable wrenches

one rubber mallet

one standard screwdriver

one Phillips screwdriver

Assembly may be more convenient if you have a

socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end

wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.

Make Assembly Easier

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure

that the exercise tower can be assembled suc-

cessfully by almost anyone. By setting aside

plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.

This section explains how to adjust the exercise tower. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 11 for impor-

tant 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 several exercises.

Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the exercise tower is used. Replace any worn parts immedi-

ately. The exercise tower can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use sol-

vents.

ADJUSTING THE DIP ARM

To adjust the Dip Arm (7) to the up or down position,

first remove the Pin (22). Move the Dip Arm to the

new position and reinsert the Pin into the Dip Arm.

Note: The Pin must be inserted into the Dip Arm

and the Upright (4) when the Dip Arm is in the up

position, as shown in the drawing. The Pin will be

behind the Upright when the Dip Arm is in the

down position.

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 follows:

• 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 exer-

ciser or exercise cycle, 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 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

bodyʼs 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.

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 mus-

cles affected. See the muscle chart on the next page

to find the names of the muscles.

X. Gastrocnemius (back of calf)

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:

• 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. Write

the date, the exercises performed, the resistance

used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions com-

pleted. Record your weight and key body measure-

ments 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.
