EXERCISE GUIDELINES
LEG RAISES
Lie on the bench, grasp the small foam pads, and extend your legs as shown. Lift your legs with a slow,steady
motion—avoid rapid or jerky movements. Return to the starting position. Repeat.
CRUNCHES
Lie on the bench and tuck your feet under the large foam pads as shown. Bend forward at the waist, keeping

The bench will help you shape your upper and lower
abdominal muscles. Be careful not to overdo it during

Toget the most from your exercise, proper form is
important. As you perform each repetition, use your
abdominal muscles to pull yourself up, moving in a
smooth continuous motion.
Always begin and end each workout with a few min-
utes of stretching. Remember to keep plenty of water
nearby as you exercise, and drink periodically to avoid
dehydration. If you feel faint, dizzy, or short of
breath at any time during exercise, stop immedi-
ately and begin cooling down.
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi-
cian. This is especially important for persons
over the age of 35 or persons with pre-exist-
ing health problems.
