1 FB Exercise Guide The FB 30X3 Total Fitness workout makes strength training easy. Here are some easy-to-follow instructions and photos to help you get started with a basic workout. The ten basic exercises are designed to work all of your major muscle groups-- a total body workout. A typical workout would be: two or three sets of eight to 20 repetitions for every major muscle group. A set is one group of repetitions. Follow this routine three times a week. That s the 30X3 Fitness Workout--a balanced, complete fitness program. The goal of any specific exercise is to work that muscle or muscles hard enough that you are able to feel the muscles you are working burning by the time you are completing the second or third set. The burning is caused by lactic acid building up in the muscles you are working and is a good indication that you are doing the exercise correctly. You can aim for a slight burn or a more intense burn depending on your fitness and comfort level. Start by aiming for a slight burn and then slowly increase the intensity of your workout, as you feel comfortable. To increase the intensity of the workout, you can increase your repetitions or resistance level or both. But please, -- a complete physical examination by your physician is recommended before starting any new exercise program. Work your way into a routine. Going overboard after not exercising much for a long time may result in injury. For maximum benefit at minimum injury risk, the body needs to rest and recover. Rest for at least one day between workouts. The Ten Basic Exercises are shown on the next two pages. These are the suggested starting exercises for your Basic Ten exercise routine. You will also find many supplemental exercises. You can swap some of these exercises that work similar muscle groups to keep your 30X3 Total Fitness Workout fresh or add additional exercises to your workout to concentrate on a particular area. It s a great way to get in shape and stay in shape! You may also choose to use your FB home gym for circuit training. Circuit training involves intervals of high intensity exercises, alternating lower intensity exercises as a recovery. With the FB home gym you can do your circuit training and home. At a gym you may have to wait for each machine and that defeats the purpose of circuit training. Alternate the order of the basic ten exercises from high intensity to low intensity as you determine the intensity from a few trial workouts. Design your own circuit training sequence that suits your goals and needs. If your goal is weight loss you should alternate between a resistance exercise and the seated row exercise (cardio exercise) with little or no rest in between. If you purchased the optional ministepper, include that as one of your exercises in the circuit. Design a new exercise to suit your particular needs. After trying a few of these you'll be familiar with the resistance adjustments and how they can completely change the focus on particular muscle groups. Important: Please consult your physician before beginning any vigorous exercise program. -1-
2 Using the Hydraulic Cylinders The hydraulic cylinders operate with the principals of fluid mechanics. During your exercise the fluid is forced from one chamber to another. Resistance is determined by the speed and the adjustment of the orifice from one chamber to the other. This is a key feature of the home gym and it allows the resistance to adapt to your strength level. The cylinders have a graduated resistance dial numbered 1 to 12. Each cylinder has an arrow to indicate which resistance is being used. The arrows on the front and rear leg cylinders face the ground. The arrows on the top and bottom vertical cylinders face away from the machine. The arrows on the chest fly cylinders face inward. Start your exercise at the lowest resistance levels and gradually increase the resistance as you gain strength and endurance. The dials are intended for a reference to chart your progress. Both the dial setting and the speed of the exercise determine the resisting force. Need more resistance? Challenge yourself by increasing the repetitions of each circuit exercise as you progress. Exercising with Two-way Resistance The FB Gym offers adjustable positive resistance in both directions of your exercise stroke. As you progress and become familiar with the Basic 10 Exercises you will become accustomed to the muscles that are being used for these exercises. You can then begin to turn up the return resistance on the main vertical cylinder set or the leg cylinder set to exercise a different set of muscle groups in the same exercise cycle but on the return stroke as well. This will result in a more efficient and challenging exercise. Several of the Basic 10 exercises will be combined and reduced to just 6 basic exercises but with positive resistance in both directions. Choose another 4 exercises to replace those 4 exercises that were combined and continue with a more advanced workout session. DO S and DON TS 1. DO have fun! The benefits to working out don't pay off if you don't enjoy yourself. This isn't an excuse for not exercising, as it's still vital to your health. But finding a workout that you enjoy will make the difference when setting a workout schedule that will stick. 2. DO start off moderately. Work your way into a routine. Going overboard may result in injury, or at least disappointment. Your workout shouldn't do either, so build up from a moderate beginning. 3. DO warm up and cool down. A low-impact warm-up before any exercise is essential. It warms the muscles, makes them more limber and easier to stretch, which results in a better workout. It also helps to prevent injury. Cooling down after exercising is also important as it relaxes the muscles, lowers the heart rate, and helps the body to recover from the stress of a workout. It'll make you feel better immediately after the workout, and the next morning. 4. DO stretch. Flexibility is one of the most important factors of fitness. Stretching before, during and after a workout will result in better performance, good posture, fewer injuries, and overall better fitness. Be sure to warm up before doing any type of stretching. -2-
3 5. DO be aware of the muscle you are trying to work. Each exercise described is designed to work a specific muscle group or groups. If you are not feeling that muscle group, you may be doing the exercise incorrectly. 6. DO hold your abdominal muscles tight while you are doing any exercise. It is important to protect you back while you are strength training. Contracting your abdominals while you are completing the exercises will help do this. To practice contracting your abdominals, pretend someone is coming at you and they are going to try to punch you in the stomach. Your flinching reaction to protect yourself is most likely your abdominals contracting. It is important to distinguish between sucking in your stomach and contracting your abdominals. 7. DO watch what you eat. Diet is just as much a part of fitness as exercise, and what you eat will affect every aspect of your workout. A proper diet also influences the results of you fitness plan, since it helps build muscle and decrease the percentage of fat in your overall body weight. 8. DON T hold your breath while strength training. Holding your breath while strength training may cause an increase in blood pressure and a headache. You should exhale on the exertion. This means you should be blowing out while you are working against the resistance of the cylinders. For example, while doing the leg extension you should be exhaling while you are extending your knees. 9. DON'T dehydrate yourself. When exercising, the body needs four to eight ounces of water every 20 minutes to replace water loss. If you become thirsty during a workout, you've already passed out of a "safe" stage of hydration. Take fluids immediately. Always avoid caffeine or alcohol when exercising, both of which further dehydrate your body. 10. DON'T lose concentration. Preoccupation with outside situations can counteract the benefits of a workout. For example, you might decrease intensity as you lose concentration. And not paying attention to a workout can lead to sloppy style and potential injury. Instead, use the time to concentrate on proper form and control. It will lead to a better workout, greater benefits, and a more relaxing experience. 11. DON T continue to do an exercise if you cannot maintain proper form. Being unable to maintain proper form means your body is getting tired. You increase your risk for injury if you continue to do an exercise in this manner. 12. DON'T over-exercise. For maximum benefit at minimum injury risk, the body needs to rest and recover. At least a 24-hour rest after heavy muscle strain is advised. Stagger workouts between heavy and light strain. For example, you can alternate the 30X3 workout with biking. 13. DON'T push an injury. Listen to your body. If you feel pain, stop. Muscle and joint pain can mean many things -- pushing a small hurt can lead to big problems later on. -3-
