Perfect Situp

is more than just a piece of exercise equipment, it is a total exercise
and nutrition system. It is a “fitness for life” plan that goes hand in hand with an
overall healthy lifestyle.
The Perfect Situp system is a 10 week program designed to help you achieve
balanced fitness. The system consists of 3 parts:
1. Perfect Situp Workout.
The Perfect Situp

was designed to help you tone and
strengthen your core, which include the abdom
inal muscles, lowe
r back and hips.
We recommend that you do the Perfect Situp Workout 3 times a week, and perform
the exercises in the order shown on the chart. Determine your fitness level and
follow the appropriate workout on the Workout Chart included with your product.
Most people with some exercise experience are able to start the Perfect Situp
Workout at the Intermediate level. Warm up for 5 -10 minutes before beginning
your Perfect Situp workout. Follow the warm-up guidelines on page 16.
2. Cardiovascular Exercise.
The Perfect Situp system includes a cardio workout
program. You can achieve an effective cardio workout from a variety of activities,
such as walking, hiking, swimming, jogging or low-impact aerobics. We recommend
that you do a cardio workout for at least 30 minutes, 3 times a week. The frequency
and duration of your cardio workouts will depend on your current fitness level.
Please refer to the Cardiovascular Conditioning section on pages 22 – 25 in this
manual to determine the workout that is appropriate for you.

The Perfect Situp system also includes the Perfect Situp Meal Plan that
is included when you purchase the product. This provides you with nutritional
guidelines and a healthy eating plan that is designed to help you lose weight in
ten weeks or less. The Perfect Fitness Eating Plan Booklet is also included with

according to your activity level and current weight. Choose the plan that best fits
