Exercise Tips

In as little as 20 minutes a day, 3 days a week you can be on your way to the level of physical fitness you always dreamed of.

Here are some guidelines and tips: 1. A typical workout should be two or three sets of eight to 20 repetitions for every major muscle group. A set is one group of repetitions. 2. Start off slow. Get used to the exercises and your routine.

We recommend that beginners start with one major exercise for each muscle group. As you progress add additional exercises for each body part to fully work your muscles. 3. To increase the intensity of the workout, you can increase your repetitions, amount of resistance and number of exercises performed for each body part. Do not over do it. 4. 4.

Rest is extremely important. Allow your muscles to fully recuperate before attempting to exercise again. 5. Varying your routine is the key to continually improving and making progress. You can vary the types of exercises performed, the number of repetitions, the resistance, the order in which exercises are performed etc. Your gym is ideal for this.

There are many different exercises available, so you nor your muscles will ever get bored. 6. Typically performing from 8 - 10 repetitions of exercises is ideal for mass building. Performing 11 - 13 repetitions is ideal for general conditioning. Performing repetitions of 14 - 20 generally builds muscle endurance. 7.

Because almost no changes have to be made between exercises, your gym is ideal for Circuit Training. Circuit training involves moving from one exercise to the next with little or no rest in between. As a result, you not only strengthen muscles but raise your heart rate for a cardiovascular workout as well. 8. Warm up before beginning your exercise program and cool down after exercising. 9. 9.

Stretch before and after exercising.

Resistance Calculation

Below find revised resistance calculations for the ten top incline levels. The below results are the average of three forces tested Static Force, Motion Force & Peak Force. Resistance will vary throughout the range of motion so an average is provided. Static Force is the force needed to hold the load in place. Motion Force is the force at speeds of approximately 20 reps/minute.

Peak Force is the force required to reverse the direction of the board at the beginning of each new cycle.

Free Weights A Free Weight Bar has been supplied with your gym. This allows you to add up to 100 lbs of Free Weights to your gym. The Above Chart and resistance information will act as a guide to determine what amount of resistance you are working with. Actual resistance will vary according to the speed at which the user performs the exercise.

Changing Resistance

1. Incline Level As you increase the incline level from levels 1 to 11 you increase the amount of resistance you are working with.

Level one is generally reserved for Pilates or beginners. Most Pilates exercises can be performed at the higher incline levels as you become more advanced. To change the resistance level, hold the Adjustment Beam (part # 6) by the handle provided. Carefully remove the Adjustment Lock Pin (part # 49). Raise and Lower the Adjustment Beam up or down the Resistance Upright. Holding Adjustment Beam Adjustment Lock Pin Inserted and Turned to Locked Position

Power Bands

You can utilize from 0 to 5 Power Bands to increase the amount of resistance during your workout.
