GENERAL SAFETY TIPS
Begin using the product at a low incline. As your fitness level progresses, increase the incline to increase the intensity and improve your
muscle strength. Don’t be in a hurry to exercise at a high intensity level; start out easily and build gradually. The Total Gym
®
is as easy as
1-2-3 to use.
When starting your exercise program, begin with the basic exercises in the
Exercise Guide
included with your Total Gym to familiarize
yourself with the movements. Use the lowest incline level to start with—you can work up to a higher incline level in the weeks and months
to come.
For the specific Total Gym exercises and programs, study and follow the instructions in the
Exercise Guide
included with your product.
