WARNING! Because the arms on NeoShaper are free to rotate in one
direction, they may cause injury if allowed to swing downwards.
Therefore, between resistance sets and when the NeoShaper is unattend-
ed, always rotate the arms to their lowest position (see picture below).
Before starting this or any exercise program, consult with your health
care professional. If you should experience any irregular physical condi-
tions or symptoms, discontinue use immediately and contact your health
care professional.
Always be sure all adjustment pins are secure while using NeoShaper.
Never operate NeoShaper without the adjust-
ment pins inserted completely through
the holes.

Battery replacement
The electronic monitor comes with two button-sized
batteries. If necessary, these batteries may be replaced by
removing the electronic monitor from the bracket of
the Mini Cycle.
Remove the small Phillips head screw from the bottom of
the back of the electronic monitor. Then, remove the plastic
back. Lift the small metal tab holding each battery in place and
slide both batteries out of position.
Replace the batteries with the positive (+) side up by sliding them into the slots as
they were removed. Replace back cover and secure with screw.
Main frame adjustment
For greater comfort, you may need to adjust the length of
the horizontal tube extending from the NeoShaper
frame.
To do so, first remove the Mini Cycle from the vertical
column, then remove the lock pin immediately in
front of the seat, and slide the horizontal tube to the
desired position.
Re-insert the lock pin and then re-install the Mini Cycle
following Step 3 above.
Maintenance

NeoShaper Set-Up
The following Quick-Reference Workout Chart provides guidelines for approximate
NeoShaper set-up positions for each exercise. The Chart will also help you to easily
choose the exercises for each session. Please note that there are four exercise
Groups . The exercises in each Group can all be performed with similar settings,
requiring only minor adjustments to
NeoShaper. Therefore, arrange the order of
the exercises you choose so that you complete all of the exercises in a particular
Group before moving to the next Group.
Since everyone is built differently, be sure that the position of
PowerShaper relative
to
your body follows the description in the Quick-Reference Workout Chart, below.
This may require setting the adjustment pins in different holes than those refer-
enced in the Chart.
Good luck and remember, that with
NeoShaper you will change the shape of your
body, and change the shape of your life! Now, let’s get to it!
Workout Guide
FOR ALL EXERCISES, ROTATE THE POWERSHAPER ™ SO THAT THE RESISTANCE IS IN THE DIRECTION
OF THE INITIAL MOVEMENT. THE MOVEMENT THAT RETURNS YOU TO THE STARTING POSITION
SHOULD HAVE NO RESISTANCE.
BREATHING: NEVER HOLD YOUR BREATH DURING THE RESISTANCE MOVEMENT. INSTEAD, EXHALE
SLOWLY THROUGHOUT THE RESISTANCE MOVEMENT OF THE EXERCISE; AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH
WHILE RETURNING THE HANDLES TO THE STARTING POSITION.
FOR THE SEATED EXERCISES ON
NEOSHAPER YOUR FEET SHOULD BE FLAT ON THE FLOOR AND
POINTING FORWARD AT ALL TIMES.

Group 1
1. Chest Press: Works chest muscle group
Vertical Column: Adjust so that PowerShaper is approxi-
mately level with the middle of your
torso.
Horizontal Tube: Adjust so that the handles are an
inch or two from your chest
when you start the exercise; for
most people, this is the first or
second hole.
PowerShaper: Resistance felt as you push han-
dles away from your body.
Adjust arm length to shortest
position.
Body Position: Seated against the back cushion.
Maintain the correct posture during this
exercise by keeping your abdominal mus-
cles contracted and holding your chest high.
Start by gripping the handles near their
ends with your hands near your chest.
Your thumbs may either wrap under
the handle or rest on top, whichev-
er is more comfortable. Your
elbows should comfortably flare
out from your sides at the start-
ing position.
Exercise Movement: Slowly push the handles away
from your body while feeling
your chest muscles contracting
until reaching full extension of
your elbows. Return the handles
slowly to their starting position.
Repeat movement.

mately level with the middle of your
torso.

est length of the arms.
Body Position: Sit forward on NeoShaper™ to align
your elbows with the center axis of
PowerShaper™ . You may lean forward if nec-
essary, but keep you spine straight. Grasp the
middle of the handles with palms facing
up and your arms fully extended.
Exercise Movement: Slowly pull handles toward your
shoulders by fully contracting
your upper arms (bicep). Keep
the upper arms as still as possi-
ble, moving only your lower
arms for this exercise. During
the entire range of motion of
this exercise, your elbows
should remain aligned with the
center axis of
PowerShaper ™.
When done properly this exercise
requires a very low resistance set-
ting on
PowerShaper ™. Return the
handles slowly to their starting position.
Repeat movement..
