Increasing resistance and maintaining the number of repetitions of an
exercise results in increased muscle strength�
To tone your body, follow the principle: Decreasing resistance
plus increasing the number of repetitions of an exercise results in
increased body tone�
Once you feel comfortable with an exercise, you can change the
resistance, the number of repetitions, or the speed at which you do
the exercise� It is not necessary to change all three variables� For
example, let's say that you are training at 10 kg� and performing the
exercise 10 times in 3 minutes� When this becomes too easy, you may
decide to move up lifting 12 kg� for the same number of repetitions
in the same amount of time� Lifting more weights fewer times most
often develops muscle strength� To gain both muscle strength and
endurance, it is recommended that you perform each exercise 15 to
20 reps per set�
Training Intensity
How hard you begin to train depends on your overall level of fitness�
The soreness you experienced can be lessened by decreasing the
load you place on your muscles and by performing fewer sets�
To avoid injury, you should gradually work into an exercise program
and set the load to your individual fitness level� The load should
increase as your fitness level increases�
Muscle soreness is common, especially when you first start exercising�
If you are painfully sore for a long time, it may be time to change your
program� Eventually, your muscle system will become accustomed to
the stress and strain placed on it
Beginning a Strength Building Program
Warming Up
To begin strength training, it is important to stretch and perform
light exercise for 5 to 10 minutes� This helps prepare the body for
more strenuous exercise by increasing circulation, raising your body
temperature and developing more oxygen to your muscles�
Workout
Each workout to keep in mind that muscle soreness that lasts for a
long period in not desirable and may mean that injury has occurred�
Cool Down
At the end of each workout, perform slow stretching exercises for 5 to
10 minutes� Ease into each stretch only going as far as you can� This
stage allows your muscles wind down after training�
To provide a total workout program it is also recommended that 2 to
3 days of aerobic exercise is performed in addition to the strength
training�
Drinking Water
For the body to function properly, it must be properly hydrated� If you
are exercising, you should increase your fluid intake� The reason for
this is that the water you take in will leave your system through the
sweating mechanism that cools your body during exercise� The water
you lose through exercise must be replaced so that the muscles can
recover properly�
Rest Day
Although you may not feel like doing it, taking a rest day at least
once a week is important because it gives you body a chance to heal
it self� Continuously working your muscle will result in over training
which will not benefit in the long run�
Cleaning and maintenance

dirt�
- Apply 2 pearl size drops of the lubricant on each guide rod's
surface, one drop close the start and one close to the end of the
slider's track�
- Slide the moving slider (weight stack) up and down a few times to
spread the lubricant evenly�
- Repeat these steps on a 3-months interval�
Squeaking noise
- When sliding parts are making noise during sliding movement,
apply the lubricant on each guide rod's surface immediately�
⚠
