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 very effective for increasing flexibility.

STAYING MOTIVATED

For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The
chart on the following page can be photocopied and
used to schedule and record your workouts. List the
date, the exercises performed, the weight plus the
numbers of sets and repetitions completed. Record
your weight and key body measurements at the end
of every month. 

Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results
is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of
your everyday life.
