Chapter 3: Exercise

3.1: Intended Use

The intended commercial use of this machine is to aid exercise and improve general physical fitness.

3.2: Instructions

Before you workout

Prior to starting a training program, get a complete physical exam to make sure your physician agrees that you are ready. Always warm-up your muscles before a workout. A 5 - 10 minute cardio warm-up followed by slow stretching (no bouncing) is recommended. Continue with a lighter set (50% of normal) of intended exercises. Start your program conservatively. Choose weights you can easily lift in the first weeks. Always perform the full range of motion unless you have an injury, then consult a professional trainer. Know the terms. A “repetition” (rep) is defined as one complete movement through an exercise, returning to the start position. A “set” is a continuous series of reps usually between 6-15.

During your workout

The number of reps you perform in a set depends on your goal. To build muscle and strength, do fewer reps (6 - 8) with heavier weight. To build endurance, do more reps (12-15) with lighter weight. Never “cheat” by shortening the range of motion, bouncing the weight, or shifting your posture. This may allow you to lift more weight, but it is dangerous and less effective. Catch your breath between sets, then continue. When “circuit training” move briskly to the next exercise; when doing multiple sets on one exercise, rest 45 - 90 seconds before the next set. Work up to three sets per exercise. When you can perform the desired reps and sets for any exercise, increase the weight by a half or full plate.

Designing your workout

Circuit training is a good way to start. This involves doing one set per exercise, then moving to the next exercise, pausing only briefly between them (to keep your heart and breath rate up) until completing a balanced “circuit” of 8 - 10 exercises for your entire body. Then repeat the circuit. After several weeks, you can move into multiple sets (3 in a row) per exercise if you choose. For both of these, exercise the complete body every other day, up to three times a week.

Note: A full day's rest, plus proper nutrition and hydration are required for optimum muscle-building or toning.Alternatively, work out half your body one day (e.g., the upper body) and the other half the following day (e.g. the lower body). At the end of your workout, cool down in a similar way to your warm-up.

Chapter 4: Maintenance

All preventive maintenance activities must be performed on a regular basis. Performing routine preventive maintenance actions can aid in providing safe, trouble-free operation of all Cybex equipment.

Cybex is not responsible for performing regular inspection and maintenance actions for your machines. Instruct all personnel in equipment inspection and maintenance actions and also in accident reporting and recording. Cybex representatives are available to answer any questions that you may have.

4.1: Warnings

Tip: Read all warnings in this chapter.
Warning: For maintenance, service and repair:
  • Must be performed by trained service personnel only
  • Use only Cybex replacement parts.
Warning: Equipment hazard.

To avoid serious injury or death replace worn or damaged components immediately and keep the equipment out of use until repair is completed.

Warning: The safety level of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for damage and wear.

4.2: Daily Procedures
