Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods are:
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
out.
• 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.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
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.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The
charts on pages 14 and 15 of this manual can be
photocopied and used to schedule and record your
workouts. List the date, the exercises performed, the
weight used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions
completed. Record your weight and key body mea-
surements at the end of every month. Remember, the
key to achieving the greatest results is to make exer-
cise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday
