Before You Begin
Before beginning assembly, carefully
read the following information and
instructions:
• The power cage must be assembled by 3
adults on a clear, level surface.
• Because of its weight and size, assemble
the power cage in the location where it will
be used. Make sure that there is enough
clearance to walk around the weight
system.
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove
the packing materials. Do not dispose of
the packing materials until you complete all
assembly steps.
• For help identifying small parts, use the
PART IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 07.
Assembly requires the following tools
(not included):
- 2 adjustable wrenches
- 1 rubber mallet
Assembly may be easier if you have a set of
wrenches. To avoid damaging parts, do not
use power tools.

Conditioning Guidelines
The following guidelines will help you to
plan your exercise program and exercise
safely. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any
other exercise program consult your
doctor. This is especially important for
pregnant women and new mothers, all
people over the age of 35, and those
with medical problems such as heart
disease, high or low blood pressure,
injuries, joint problems, obesity and
asthma.
Why exercise?
Exercise has been proven essential for
good health and general wellbeing.
Regular exercise will:
• Relieve tension and stress
• Provide enjoyment and fun
• Stimulate the mind
• Help maintain stable weight
• Control appetite
• Boost self-image
• Improve muscle tone and strength
• Improve exibility
• Lower blood pressure
• Relieve insomnia

If you’re beginning an exercise program
for the rst time or starting a new exercise
program, you must check with your doctor
that you are t to do so, particularly if:
• You have been diagnosed with heart
problems, high blood pressure or other
medical conditions.
• You have not exercised for over a year.
• You are over 35 and do not currently
exercise.
• You are pregnant or are a new mother.
• You have diabetes.
• You have chest pain, or experience
dizziness or fainting spells.
• You are recovering from an injury
or illness.
Workout tips
• Always perform a warm-up and
stretching exercises before your
workout and a cool-down and
stretching exercises at the end.
• Start slowly and build up your time,
speed and resistance gradually; doing
too much too soon can lead to injuries.
• If you are sore or tired, give yourself
a few extra days to recover.
How to begin
• Start with two or three 15-minute
sessions per week with a rest day
between workouts.
• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes with gentle
movements incorporating the whole
body such as walking while swinging your
arms in a circle and then stretch
the muscles you’ll use during your
workout.
• Increase the intensity to slightly harder
than comfortable and exercise for as
long as you can. You may only be able
to exercise for a few minutes at a time,
but that will change quickly when you
exercise regularly.
• End each workout with a 5-minute
cool-down. You should then stretch the
muscles you’ve just worked to develop
exibility, reduce muscle soreness and
prevent injury.
• Increase your workout time by a few
minutes each week until you can work
continuously for 30 minutes per session.
How hard should you work?
Always be aware of how you feel when you
exercise. If you feel dizzy or light-headed,
stop immediately and rest.

Stretching Guide
Tips for stretching
• Begin with small mobility exercises of all
the joints e.g. simply rotate the ankles,
bend the knees and roll your hips.
Gradually make the movements larger
and faster. This will allow the body’s
natural lubrication (synovial uid) to
protect the surface of your bones at
these joints.
• Always warm up the body before stretch-
ing, as this increases blood ow around
the body, creating warmth which makes
the muscles more supple.
• Start with your legs, and steadily work up
the body.
• Each stretch should be held for at least
10 seconds (working up to 20 to 30
seconds) and usually repeated
about 2 or 3 times.
• Do not stretch until it hurts. If there’s any
pain, ease o.
• Don’t bounce. Stretching should be
gradual and relaxed.
• Don’t hold your breath during a stretch.
• Stretch after exercising to prevent
muscles from tightening up.
• Stretch at least three times a week to
maintain exibility.
Warm-up and cool-down
A successful cardio-vascular exercise pro-
gram consists of a full-body warm-up,
aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Do the
entire program at least two and preferably
three times a week, resting for a day be-
tween workouts. After several months, you
can increase your workouts to four or ve
times per week.
Warm-up
The purpose of warming up is to prepare
your body for exercise and to minimise
injuries. Warm up for ve minutes before
strength-training or exercising aerobically.
Perform activities that raise your heart rate
and warm the working muscles.
Activities may include brisk walking,
jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, and
running on the spot. Try to incorporate
moves that take the joints through their
full range of motion.
Stretching
Stretching while your muscles are warm af-
ter a proper warm-up and again after your
strength or aerobic training session is very
important. Muscles stretch more easily at
these times because of their elevated tem-
perature, which greatly reduces the risk of
injury. Stretching develops exibility and
reduces muscles soreness.
Stretches should be held for
15 to 30 seconds.

COOL-DOWN
The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal or near normal, resting
state at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart
rate, allows blood to return to the heart and helps prevent muscle soreness caused by the
build-up of lactic acid in the muscles.
Do not bounce or over-stretch. Take your time on each stretch. Gradually take each
stretch a little deeper on every out breath to your personal maximum.
