Before Exercising
To guard against injury, all equipment users should follow these instructions.
• Check with your physician and get approval before beginning a training routine.
• Become familiar with the equipment before beginning a training routine.
• Always warm up before and cool down after exercising.
• Move slowly during each exercise. Do not jerk or "throw" the weight.
• Breathe freely. Do not hold your breath while lifting or lowering weight.
• Hold movement arms and handles firmly, do not squeeze or grip tightly.
• Structure each workout to exercise the largest muscles first. Suggested routines are found
