Training Tips

Use this manual to guide you through the basic exercises you can perform on your
equipment. To gain maximum results and avoid possible injury, consult a fitness
professional to develop your complete exercise program.
Always consult your physician before starting any exercise program.
To be successful in your exercise program, it is important to develop an understanding of
the basic principles of strength training. Now that you have your equipment, it is only
natural that you want to get started immediately. First, determine a set of realistic goals
and objectives for yourself. By deciding on an exercise plan that is right for you prior to
starting, you will contribute significantly to your success.
Warm up properly before engaging in weight resistance training. Stretching, yoga,
jogging, calisthenics or other cardiovascular exercise can help prepare your body for the
heavier workload of lifting weights.
Learn how to perform the exercise correctly before using heavy weight. Correct form is
important to avoid injury and to ensure that you work the proper muscle groups.
Know your limitations. If you are new to weight training or are embarking on an exercise
regimen after a long layoff, start slowly and build foundational strength over a longer
period of time.
Pay attention to your breathing. Exhale when you exert is a general rule of thumb. Never
hold your breath.
