ASSEMBLY  
As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all  
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.  
Make Things Easier for Yourself  
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure  
that the weight bench can be assembled suc-  
cessfully by anyone. However, it is important to  
realize that the versatile weight bench has many  
parts and that the assembly process will take  
time. Most people find that by setting aside plen-  
ty of time, assembly will go smoothly.  
For help identifying small parts, use the PART  
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.  
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.  
• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,  
and soapy water.  
Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the  
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing  
materials until assembly is completed.  
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.  
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless  
instructed to do otherwise.  
1. Before assembling this product, be sure that  
you have read and understand the information  
in the box above.

and refer to the accompanying exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise. Refer also to the  
exercise information accompanying your weight set (not included) for additional exercises.  
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately. The  
weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

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 weight 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.)

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-  
gram.  
WARMING UP  
The proper amount of weight for each exercise  
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge  
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
your limits and select the amount of weight that is right and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares  
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 weight.

circulation, raising your body temperature and deliver-  
ing more oxygen to your muscles.  
WORKING OUT  
Toning  
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a mod- Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis-  
erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate  
amount of weight and increase the number of repeti-  
tions 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 complet-  
ing more sets rather than by using high amounts of  
weight.  
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 session to session.  
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.  
Weight Loss  
To lose weight, use a low amount of weight and  
increase the number of repetitions in each set.  
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum  
of 30 seconds between sets.  
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  
Cross Training  
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and moving only the appropriate parts of the body.  
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a bal-  
anced program is:  
• Plan weight training workouts on Monday,  
Wednesday, and Friday.  
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as  
cycling or swimming, on Tuesday and Thursday.  
• Rest from both weight training and aerobic exercise  
for at least one full day each week to give your body  
time to regenerate.  
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 page  
13 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

ideal resting periods are:

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. List  
the date, the exercises performed, the weight 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  
achieving the greatest results is to make exercise 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
