Regular Maintenance Activities
Preventative maintenance activities must be performed to maintain normal operation of your
equipment. Keeping a log sheet of all maintenance actions will assist you in staying current
with all preventative maintenance activities. The preventative maintenance actions are
described in detail in Chapter 5. Briefly, they include:
Weekly
1. Inspect all nuts and bolts for looseness. Tighten as required.
2. Inspect all cables for damage or wear (see Chapter 7). Immediately discontinue use if a
cable is worn or damaged.
3. Check for worn handles, worn snap links, and worn warning labeling. Replace all worn
parts immediately.
4. Inspect weight stacks for proper alignment and operation. Correct all improper alignment
and operation issues immediately.
5. Lubricate guide rods using automotive engine oil only.
Yearly
1. Replace all cables at least annually.
As Required
1. Inspect grips and replace as necessary.
Using Proper Form
Before working out, read and understand the training suggestions listed in
Chapter 3. See Chapter 4 for proper form during exercise.

Training Suggestions
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. Proper breathing is very important. Exhale
during muscle exertion, and inhale while returning to the start position. 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. Your Cybex
dealer can help you find one. 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 firm your muscles and 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). To reduce muscle soreness, end each
series of sets for a given muscle with a set of increased reps and lighter weights. At the end of
your workout, cool down in a similar way to your warm-up.

Glossary
Abduction - movement away from the mid-line of the body.
Acceleration - the rate at which an object’s velocity changes with time; that is the change of
velocity divided by the time interval.
Accuracy - freedom from error. Degree of conformity of a measure to a standard or a true
value.
Action Line -the direction of pull created by the fibers or tendons of the muscle at the point of
application.
Active Insufficiency - a two joint muscle loses the ability to cross-bridge (generate force) due
to full shortening over its greatest anatomical length and tension created in an opposing muscle
(antagonist).
Active Range of Motion - the degree of motion that occurs between two adjacent segments
through voluntary contraction of the agonist.
Active Stabilization - provided by an internal force. Static stabilization is provided through an
isometric contraction where dynamic stabilization is a series of motions. Dynamic stabilizers
maintain the relative positions of the segments, preventing undesirable or unnecessary motions
due to external forces as well as artifacts of internal forces. May also refer to the
concentric/eccentric contractions of a muscle acting in a force couple to produce motion while
maintaining a relatively fixed axis of rotation.
Adipose tissue - fat tissue.
Adduction - movement towards the mid-line of the body.
Agonist - (prime mover) the muscle most involved in producing a movement.
Aerobic - utilizing oxygen.
Aerobic Endurance - the ability to persist in physical activities that rely heavily upon oxygen
for energy production.
Anabolic - pertaining to the synthesis of complex substances from simpler substances, especially
to the synthesis of body proteins from amino acids.
Anaerobic - without oxygen.
Anaerobic Endurance - the ability to persist in physical activities of short duration that require
high rates of energy expenditure. These high rates of energy expenditure cannot be met solely
by aerobic metabolism.
