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 tness 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 benets.

Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully. It is the authoritative source of information about your Total Gym®.

Starting Out

Wear athletic shoes and comfortable light clothing when exercising

on your Total Gym®. Do not exercise barefoot. Check your exerciser

before use to ensure that all the parts are in place and working

properly (see page 10 for details of the inspection process).

Adult supervision is required whenever a child is on or near

this exerciser.

Begin using the product at a low incline. As your tness 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. Total Gym®

is as easy as 1-2-3 to use, so read on.

1. Important Things to Remember When Using Total Gym®

• Always have control of the glideboard before getting on and

off the exerciser.

• Keep your feet on the oor when getting on and off the

exerciser. Only remove them from the oor for the duration of

the exercise.

• If you are using the handles, hold onto them as you get on

and off the glideboard.

• Be sure to have plenty of free space - at least 2-3 feet of

clearance around the exerciser - so that performing on the

Total Gym, as well as getting on and off, is convenient and

safe.

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 on when performing the desired exercise. Be sure to keep

your feet on the oor until you are in the correct position for the

specic exercise. Then, if the exercise calls for your feet to be

off the oor, place your feet as specied in the instructions.

3. Exercising with the Squat Stand Only

Slide the glideboard to a position in which you can comfortably

sit or lay down on when performing the desired exercise. 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 Training Deck 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 specic Total Gym®exercises and programs, follow the

exercises in the Total Gym Training Deck included with your

Total Gym®.

Inspection and Maintenance

INSPECT YOUR TOTAL GYM®PRIOR TO EACH USE

Before using your Total Gym®for your workout session, be sure to

make the following inspection:

• Make sure the equipment is fully opened and sitting on a solid

level surface with plenty of clearance on all sides.

• Check that the pulley is attached securely to the hook on the

front underside of the glideboard, as well as the uprights on the

support column.

• Make sure that the eyebolts are securely fastened to each

upright on the support column.

• Check that the cables are traveling correctly in the groove of

each pulley.

• Make sure the cable is securely fastened to each hand grip.

• Check the cable for signs of wear and tear.

• Check that the squat stand is installed correctly in the squat

stand receptacles.

• Make sure the glideboard is gliding smoothly along the frame.

• Make sure all the safety hitch pins and height adjustment pin

are securely in place and locked into position.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

• Wipe down your Total Gym®after each use with a clean, damp

(not wet) cloth. Do not leave towels or workout clothing laying or

hanging on the equipment.

• Periodically check the following parts for signs of fraying or

other wear: the cable, the pulleys, the wheels, the glideboard,

the squat stand and the frame. If a part needs replacement, do

not use the equipment until it is repaired or replaced.

• Periodically remove the glideboard to clean rails and glideboard

wheels. See “To Remove the Glideboard” (on page 11) for

details.

• Never user lubricant such as WD-40®or Armor All®to lubricate

or clean the unit. Use only 3-in-1 oil or machine oil to lubricate

the axles of the wheels or pulley, not the roller surface.

1. First, remove all

Total Gym®Starter Program

The following workout, for men and

women of all tness levels, will get

you acquainted with your new Total

Gym. You can view this workout in its

entirety as a work-along program in

the Total Gym: Start It Up! video on

tv.TotalGymDirect.com. Follow this

guide as you work-along or use it as

a reference when you can’t watch the

workout.

This starter program has been

designed as a circuit training program to maximize cardio and

strength training benets. Start off with 15 repetitions of each

exercise, moving from one to the other with little or no rest in

between. If you nd that 15 reps are too easy, increase the incline

level on your Total Gym. If you are struggling with 10-12 reps, then

decrease your incline level.

See Total Gym: Start It Up! video on tv.TotalGymDirect.com for

the work-along version of this program.
