PART IDENTIFICATION CHART
ASSEMBLY
- The assembly requires two persons.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
FOUR TYPES OF STRENGTH WORKOUTS
Note: A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of repetitions.
- Muscle Building–Work your muscles near their maximum capacity and progressively increase the intensity of your exercise. Adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise as follows:
- Change the amount of resistance used.
- Change the number of repetitions or sets performed.
- Use your judgment to determine the amount of resistance that 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 resistance.
- Toning–Tone your muscles by working them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate amount of resistance 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 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.
STAYING MOTIVATED
- For motivation, keep a record of each workout. Write the date, the exercises performed, the resistance used, and the number of sets and repetitions completed.
Record your weight and key body measurements once a month. To achieve good results, make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your life.
