3. The pilates chair is not intended for use by

SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT
HOW TO UNFOLD THE PILATES CHAIR
To unfold the pilates
chair for use, first
raise it to the position
shown.
Then, firmly hold the
front and rear edges
of the seat (1), and
rotate the seat in the
direction shown by
the arrows until the
seat is level. As you
do this, the front and
rear legs (2, 3) will
unfold.
HOW TO USE THE HAND CORDS
To use the hand cords (4), attach them to any of the
hooks (5) on the frame.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS
The pedals can be used in either of two positions.
When the pedals are in the low position, you can
exercise by pulling the pedals upward. When the
pedals are in the high position, you can exercise by
pushing the pedals downward.
To adjust the pedals (6), pull the adjustment knob (7)
outward, move the pedals to the low or high position,
and then release the adjustment knob. Move the ped-
als upward or downward slightly to make sure that
the adjustment knob is engaged in one of the two
adjustment holes (not shown).
When the pedals
(6) are in the high
position, you can
add resistance with
the pedal cords (8)
beneath the seat.
Attach the pedal
cords to the hooks
(9) on the pedals.
For maximum resis-
tance, attach the
pedal cords to the
hooks closest to the pedal pads (10).

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Familiarize yourself with the equipment and learn the
proper form for each exercise. Use your own judgment
to determine the appropriate length of time for each
workout and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
complete. Progress at your own pace and be sensitive
to your body’s signals. Follow each strength workout
with at least one day of rest.
Note: A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an exer-
cise, such as one push-up. A “set” is a series of
repetitions.
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of light
exercise. A warm-up increases your body temperature,
heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Working Out—Include 5 to 10 different exercises in
each workout. Select exercises for every major muscle
group, emphasizing areas that you want to develop.
To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the
exercises from workout to workout.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
Cross Training—Combine strength training and
aerobic exercise by following this type of program:
• Strength workouts on Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday
• 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on Tuesday and
Thursday
• One full day of rest each week to give your body time
to regenerate
EXERCISE FORM
Move through the full range of motion for each exer-
cise, and move only the appropriate parts of the body.
Perform the repetitions in each set smoothly and
without pausing. The exertion stage of each repeti-
tion should last about half as long as the return stage.
Exhale during the exertion stage of each repetition and
inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.
Rest for a short period of time after each set:
• Muscle Building—Rest for three minutes after each
set.
• Toning—Rest for one minute after each set.
• Weight Loss—Rest for 30 seconds after each set.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. Write
the date, the exercises performed, the resistance used,
and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed.
Record your weight and key body measurements once
a month.
To achieve good results, make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your life.
