WORKOUT INSTRUCTIONS
Using this sit-up bench provides several benefits. You will improve fitness, strengthen
your muscles and – in combination with a well-balanced diet – may even loose weight.
Loosing weight
The most important factor in terms of loosing weight is the effort you make during your
workout. The longer and harder you exercise, the more calories you burn and the more
weight you will loose.

Observe the following points during every exercise:
• The direction you face when sitting on the bench.
• The position of your hands and feet during workout.
• How different parts of your body move during exercises.
