1900 OWNER’S MANUAL
Congratulations on purchasing your new Total Gym
®
With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start your own workout program, to tone and strengthen the important muscle groups of your upper and lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is body sculpting, weight loss, health maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.
Strength training not only tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand, walk, lift, and turn; it can actually transform our body composition. By reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in our bodies, strength training can effectively turn up our metabolic thermostat, so that we burn calories all the time, no matter what we’re doing.
It’s easy - all you have to do is spend 15 to 20 minutes a day, 3 to 4 days per week on your Total Gym
®
to start realizing the benefits.
Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.
It is the authoritative source of information about your Total Gym

AS EASY AS 1-2-3
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

1-2-3 to use, so read on...
1. IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN USING THE TOTAL GYM

• Remove Cable from Glideboard when not using Cable Handles.
2. EXERCISING WITH THE HANDLES ONLY
Grasp the handles which are attached to the cable and slide the glideboard to a position in which you can comfortably sit or lay down when performing the desired exercise (see the Exercise Guide). Be sure to keep your feet on the floor until you are in the correct position for the specific exercise. Then, if the exercise calls for your feet to be off the floor, place your feet as specified in the instructions.
3. EXERCISING WITH THE MULTI-FUNCTION ATTACHMENTS, PRESS UP BARS AND DIP BARS
Slide the glideboard to a position in which you can comfortably sit or lay down on when performing the desired exercise (see the
Exercise Guide). Keep your feet on the ground until you are in the correct position and feel comfortable. Then, place your feet in the proper position and begin to exercise.
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.
