IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and  
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your resistance system before using your resistance  
system. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or  
through the use of this product.  
1. Before beginning any exercise program, con- 8. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.  
sult your physician. This is especially impor-  
tant for persons over the age of 35 or per-  
sons with pre-existing health problems.  
9. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-  
tion while exercising.  
2
Use the resistance system only as described  
in this manual.  
10. The resistance system is designed to support  
a maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg).  
3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the resistance system are  
adequately informed of all precautions.  
11. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-  
leys at all times. If the cables bind while you  
are exercising, stop immediately and make  
sure that the cables are on the pulleys.  
4. The resistance system is intended for home  
use only. Do not use the resistance system in  
any commercial, rental, or institutional set-  
ting.  
Replace all cables at least every two years.  
12. Always stand on the base plate when per-  
forming an exercise that could cause the  
resistance system to tip.  
5. Keep the resistance system indoors, away  
from moisture and dust. Place the resistance  
system on a level surface, with a mat beneath  
it to protect the floor or carpet. Make sure  
that there is enough clearance around the  
resistance system to mount, dismount, and  
use it.  
13. Use the resistance system only with the  
included resistance. Do not use the resist-  
ance system with any other type of weight to  
add resistance.  
14. Always make sure that the pins and knobs  
are fully engaged before using the resist-  
ance system.  
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regular-  
ly. Replace any worn parts immediately.  
15. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while  
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-  
ing down.  
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away  
from the resistance system at all times.

Make Assembly Easier  
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless  
instructed to do otherwise.  
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure  
that the resistance system can be assembled  
successfully by almost anyone. By setting aside  
plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.  
As you assemble the resistance system, make  
sure that all parts are oriented as shown in the  
drawings.  
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the  
following information and instructions:  
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART  
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.  
Assembly requires two persons.  
The included hex keys  
and the following  
tools (not included) may be required for assembly:  
Because of its weight and size, the resistance  
system should be assembled in the location  
where it will be used. Make sure that there is  
enough clearance to walk around the resistance  
system as you assemble it.  
• two adjustable wrenches  
• one Phillips screwdriver  
Assembly will be more convenient if you have a  
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end  
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.  
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the  
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing

STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES  
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM  
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 rep-  
etitions completed. Record your weight and key body  
measurements at the end of every month.  
Determining the proper length of time for each work-  
out, and the numbers of repetitions and 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 begin cooling  
down. Find out what is wrong before continuing.  
THE BASIC TYPES OF STRENGTH WORKOUTS  
Note: See the accompanying DVD to learn the correct  
form for a variety of exercises that can be performed  
with the resistance system.  
Remember that adequate rest and a proper diet are  
important factors in any exercise program.  
Muscle BuildingTo increase the size and strength  
of your muscles, push them close to their maximum  
capacity. Your muscles will continually adapt and grow  
as you progressively increase the intensity of your  
exercise.  
Warming Up—Begin each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes 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 delivering more oxygen to your mus-  
cles.  
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.  
Working Out—Each workout should include 6 to 10  
different exercises. 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.  
ToningYou can tone your muscles by pushing them  
to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a  
moderate amount of resistance and increase the num-  
ber 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.  
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 essen-  
tial part of an effective exercise program. This requires  
moving through the full range of motion for each exer-  
cise, and moving only the appropriate parts of the  
body. Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave  
you feeling exhausted.  
Weight LossTo 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 balanced 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 using an exercise cycle, on  
Tuesday and Thursday.  
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.  
• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise  
for at least one full day each week to give your body  
time to regenerate.  
Cooling Down—End each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching. Include stretches for both your arms  
and legs. Ease into each stretch gradually and go only  
as far as you can without strain. Move slowly as you  
stretch and do not bounce. Stretching at the end of  
each workout is an effective way to increase flexibility.  
The combination of strength training and aerobic exer-  
cise will reshape and strengthen your body and devel-  
op your heart and lungs.
