WARNING: Toreduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-

tions before using the weight bench.

1. Read all instructions in this manual and all

warnings on the weight bench before using

the weight bench. Use the weight bench only

as described in this manual.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

that all users of the weight bench are ade-

quately informed of all precautions.

3. The weight bench is intended for home use

only. Do not use the weight bench in any

commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from

moisture and dust. Place the weight bench

on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to

protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that

there is enough clearance around the weight

bench to mount, dismount, and use the

weight bench.

5. Use the weight bench only on a level surface.

Cover the floor beneath the weight bench to

protect the floor.

6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regular-

ly.Replace any worn parts immediately.

7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away

from the weight bench at all times.

8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-

tion while exercising.

9. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

10. Do not use a barbell that is longer than six

feet with the weight bench. Note: The weight

bench does not include a barbell or weights.

11. The weight bench is designed to support a

maximum user weight of 300 pounds (136

kg) and a maximum total weight of 410

pounds (186 kg). Do not place more than 110

pounds (50 kg), including a barbell and

weights, on the weight rests. Do not place

more than 50 pounds (23 kg) on the leg lever.

12. Always make sure that there is an equal

amount of weight on each side of your bar-

bell when you are using it. Always keep

some weight on both ends of the barbell

when adding or removing weights to prevent

the barbell from tipping.

13. When you are using the leg lever,place a

barbell with the same amount of weight on

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

1minute 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 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 number of repetitions or sets to com-

plete, 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.

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.

12

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 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. List the

date, the exercises performed, the resistance used,

and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed.

Record your weight and key body measurements at

the end of every month. Remember, the key to achiev-

ing the greatest results is to make exercise a regular

and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
