Make Things Easier for Yourself  
This manual is designed to ensure that the  
weight bench can be assembled successfully  
by anyone. Most people find that by setting  
aside plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.  
The following tools (not included) are required  
for assembly:  
• Two adjustable wrenches  
• One rubber mallet  
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the  
following information and instructions:  
• One standard screwdriver  
• One Phillips screwdriver  
Assembly requires two people.  
For help identifying small parts, use the PART  
IDENTIFICATION CHART.  
• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,  
and soapy water.  
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless  
instructed to do otherwise.  
Assembly will be more convenient if you have a

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS  
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM  
MUSCLE BUILDING  
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,  
Determining the exact length of time for each workout,  
as well as the number of repetitions or sets completed,  
push them close to their maximum capacity. Your mus- is an individual matter. It is important to avoid overdo-  
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.)  
ing it during the first few months of your exercise pro-  
gram. You should progress at your own pace and be  
sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain  
or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immedi-  
ately and begin cooling down. Find out what is wrong  
before continuing. Remember that adequate rest and a  
proper diet are important factors in any exercise pro-

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.

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 elliptical or  
exercise bike, on Tuesday and Thursday.  
Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you  
feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompany-

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.

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.  
• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-  
out.  
STAYING MOTIVATED  
• 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.  
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The  
chart on pages 17–19 of this manual can be photo-  
copied and used to schedule and record your work-  
outs. List the date, the exercises performed, the resist-  
ance used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions  
completed. Record your weight and key body meas-  
urements at the end of every month. Remember, the  
key to achieving the greatest results is to make exer-  
cise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.  
COOLING DOWN  
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.  
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
