WAR I G: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on the weight bench before using the weight bench.
Sears assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through
the use of this product.
1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or per-

this manual.
3. It is the responsibility of the owner to
ensure that all users of the weight bench
are adequately informed of all precau-
tions.
4. The weight bench is intended for home
use only. Do not use the weight bench in a
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
5. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the weight
bench in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
6. Place the weight bench on a level surface,
with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or
carpet. Make sure that there is enough clear-
ance around the weight bench to mount,
dismount, and use it.
7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
8. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg)
and a maximum total weight of 510 lbs (231
kg). Do not place more than 210 lbs (95 kg),
including a barbell, on the weight rests. Do
not place more than 130 lbs (59 kg) on the
leg lever. ote: The weight bench does not
include a barbell or weights.
9. Always keep children under age 12 and
pets away from the weight bench.
10. Wear appropriate clothes while exercising;
do not wear loose clothes that could become
caught on the weight bench. Wear athletic
shoes for foot protection while exercising.
11. Always keep hands and feet away from mov-
ing parts.
12. Before you use the weight bench, make sure
that the backrest brace is fully inserted into
a slot in the frame.

15. Always exercise with a partner. When you
perform the bench press exercise, your part-
ner should stand behind you to catch the
barbell if you cannot complete a repetition.
16. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
pain while exercising, stop immediately and
cool down.

EXERCISE GUIDELI ES
FOUR TYPES OF STRE GTH WORKOUTS
Note: A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an exer-
cise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of
repetitions.
Muscle Building—Work your muscles near their max-
imum capacity and progressively increase the intensity
of your exercise. Adjust the intensity level of an individ-
ual exercise as follows:
• Change the amount of resistance used.
• Change the number of repetitions or sets performed.
Use your own judgment to determine the amount of
resistance that is right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8
repetitions for each exercise that you perform. Rest for
3 minutes after each set. When you can complete 3
sets of 12 repetitions without difficulty, increase the
amount of resistance.
Toning—Tone your muscles by working them to a
moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a mod-
erate amount of resistance and increase the number
of repetitions in each set. Complete as many sets of
15 to 20 repetitions as possible without discomfort.
Rest for 1 minute after each set. Work your muscles
by completing more sets rather than by using high
amounts of resistance.
Weight Loss—To lose weight, use a low amount of
resistance and increase the number of repetitions in
each set. Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a
maximum of 30 seconds between sets.
Cross Training—Combine strength training and aero-
bic exercise by following this type of program:
• Strength workouts on onday, 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.
WORKOUT GUIDELI ES
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 bodyʼs signals. Follow each strength workout
with at least one day of rest.
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Working Out—Include 6 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
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your
muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FORM
ove 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 with-
out pausing. The exertion stage of each repetition
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:
• uscle 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.
STAYI G 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 com-
pleted. Record your weight and key body
measurements once a month. To achieve good results,
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
life.
