Tools
All V-fit products are supplied with basic tools, which will enable you to successfully assemble your
product. However, you may find it beneficial to have a soft-headed hammer and perhaps an adjustable
spanner handy as this may help.
Prepare the Work Area
It is important that you assemble your product in a clean, clear, uncluttered area. This will enable you to
move around the product while you are fitting components and will reduce the possibility of injury
during assembly.
Work with a Friend
You may find it quicker, safer and easier to assemble this product with the help of a friend as some of
the components may be large, heavy or awkward to handle alone.
Open the Carton.
Carefully open the carton that contains your product, taking note of the warnings printed on the carton
to ensure that the risk of injury is reduced. Be aware of sharp staples that may be used to fasten the
flaps as these may cause injury. Be sure to open the carton the right way up, as this will be the easiest
and safest way to remove all the components.
Unpack the Components
Carefully unpack each component, checking against the parts list that you have all the necessary parts
to complete the assembly of your product.
Please note that some of the parts may be pre-fitted to major components, so please check carefully
before contacting our CUSTOMER SUPPORT team.
In any event, please do not return the product to your retailer before contacting us first.

Exercising Information
Beginning
How you begin to exercise will vary from person to person. If you
have not exercised for a long period of time, have been inactive for a
while, or are severely overweight you MUST start slowly, increasing
your exercise time gradually, by perhaps only a few minutes for each
session per week.
Combine a carefully structured nutritious diet with a simple but
effective exercise routine and this can help make you feel better, look
better and will almost certainly enable you to enjoy life more.
Aerobic Fitness
Aerobic exercise is simply defined as any sustained activity that
increases the supply of oxygen to your muscles via the blood pumped
by your heart. With regular exercise, your cardiovascular system will
become stronger and more efficient. Your recovery rate i.e. the time
taken for your heart to reach its normal resting level, will also
decrease.
Initially you may only be able to exercise for a few minutes each day.
Do not hesitate to breathe through your mouth should you need more
oxygen. Use the "talk test". If you cannot carry on a conversation
while exercising, you are working too hard! However, aerobic fitness
will be gradually built up with regular exercise, over the next six to
eight weeks.
Do not be discouraged if it takes longer than this to begin to feel less
lethargic, everyone is different and some will achieve their targets
quicker than others. Work at your own, comfortable pace and the
results will come. The better your aerobic fitness the harder you will
have to work to stay in your target zone.

Exercising Information

Warm Up
A successful exercise programme consists of three parts, Warm Up, Aerobic Exercise and Cool Down.
Never start a training session without warming up. Never finish one without cooling down correctly.
Perform between five and ten minutes of stretching before starting your workout to prevent muscle
strains, pulls and cramps.
Aerobic Exercise Session
Those new to exercise should exercise no more than every other day to start with.
As your fitness level increases, increase this to 2 in every 3 days.
When you are comfortable with your routine, exercise for 6 days per week. Always take at least one day
off per week.
Exercising in your Target Zone
To ensure that your heart is working in its exercise target zone, you need to be able to take your pulse.
If you do not have a pulse monitor (either from the product you are using or a proprietary independent
unit) you will need to locate the pulse in your carotid artery. This is situated in the side of the neck and
can be felt by using the index and middle fingers. Simply count the number of beats you feel in 10
seconds and then multiply by six to get your pulse rate. This should be taken before you start to
exercise for easy reference.
People who have a greater aerobic fitness, have a lower resting pulse level and will also be able to
exercise with a higher pulse level.
Target Zone
To determine your target zone, see the chart opposite. If you are new to exercise and by definition unfit,
refer to the left column. If you exercise regularly and have good aerobic fitness, refer to the right
column.

Exercising Information
GETTING STARTED
You will often read about terms referring to exercise that may be confusing. Below are some of the
definitions that are regularly used.
Repetition - Commonly referred to as 'REPS'.
This is a complete movement from start to finish.
Set - This is a complete number of consecutive repetitions.
i.e. 1 set of 10 reps.
Speed of Motion - This is the relative speed of movement for each rep.
Fast is considered as 1 rep / second. Medium is 1 rep / 2 seconds. Slow is 1 rep /
4 seconds.
Intensity - How 'hard' the exercise feels.
Low Intensity = easy exercise. High Intensity = hard exercise.
TRAINING PROGRAMMES
You will achieve fast results, gaining a trimmer, fitter body if you follow these general rules.
• Exercise regularly - do not skip workouts as consistency is the first key to success.
• Do not be afraid perspire a little. This is a sign that you are working your body hard enough to give
fast results. You will find 'hard' exercise enjoyable.
• Set yourself realistic goals. Do not be over-ambitious. Plan your workouts to concentrate on
specific body areas. Start slowly and gradually increase the intensity, reps and sets.
BEGINNERS PROGRAMME
This is a short suggested programme which we suggest you use for no more than 3 weeks, to be
ideally performed every other day, but certainly not more than 4 times during the week.
This suggested routine is specifically for beginners or those who have not exercised for a considerable
time. The programme is designed to provide general improvement in muscle tone, strength, flexibility
and co-ordination.
As a beginner, you should start with no more than 2 sets of 6 exercises for the following reps on each
of the Gym’s training stations.
10 REPS - BENCH PRESS followed by LAT PULLDOWNS
5 REPS - PEC DEC
10 REPS - SHOULDER PRESS
10 REPS - LEG EXTENSIONS followed by LEG CURLS
• Your rest interval between each set of reps should be 1 minute.
• You should perform 2 SETS of each exercise.
• Your exercise pace should be SLOW to MEDIUM.
• The resistance (weight) settings should be in positions 1 - 3.
• This exercise programme should take you approximately 20 minutes.
• Follow this exercise programme with 5 minutes of proper cool down exercises.

Exercising Information
Page 12 Herculean Home Gym Trainer
INTERMEDIATE EXERCISE
This is a slightly longer programme which we suggest you use for the next 6 – 8 weeks, to be ideally
performed not more than 5 times during the week.
This suggested routine is specifically for intermediate users or those that are familiar with exercise
routines. The programme is designed to increase muscle definition, build strength, aid flexibility and co-
ordination.
The increase in exercise intensity and speed of repetitions is key to your success at this stage.
For intermediate exercise we recommend 3 - 4 sets of 8 exercises for the following reps on each of the
Gym’s training stations.
15 REPS - BENCH PRESS followed by LAT PULLDOWNS
10 REPS - PEC DEC
15 REPS - SHOULDER PRESS
15 REPS - LEG CURLS
15 REPS - LEG EXTENSIONS followed by ARM CURLS
• Your rest interval between each set of reps should be 1 minute.
• You should perform 3 - 4 SETS of each exercise.
• Your exercise pace should be MEDIUM to FAST.
• The resistance (weight) settings should be in positions 3 - 6.
• This exercise programme should take you approximately 35 - 40 minutes.
• Follow this exercise programme with 5 minutes of proper cool down exercises.
ADVANCED TRAINING
This is an open-ended programme, ideally performed not more than 4 times during the week, preferably
on alternate days.
This suggested routine is specifically for advanced users or those that are familiar with exercise
routines. The programme is designed to increase muscle mass and build strength.
The increase in exercise intensity, resistance levels and speed of repetitions is key to your on going
success.
For advanced training we recommend 4 sets of the 9 exercises for the following reps on each of the
Gym’s training stations. However at this stage you may want to concentrate on specific body parts, so
as you are now fully familiar with the workings of your Gym you should be able to structure an exercise
programme to suit your own individual needs. Any specific advice should be sought through specialist
books.
20 REPS - BENCH PRESS followed by LAT PULLDOWNS
15 REPS - PEC DEC
15 REPS - SHOULDER PRESS
15 REPS - LEG CURLS
20 REPS - LEG EXTENSIONS followed by ARM CURLS
15 REPS - LEG PRESS
10 SLOW REPS - 2 SETS - SIT UPS
• Your rest interval between each set of reps should be 1 minute.
• You should perform 4 SETS of each exercise.
• Your exercise pace should be MEDIUM to FAST.
• The resistance (weight) settings should be in positions 4 - 8.
