Safety Guidelines

Successful resistance training programs have one prominent feature in common...safety.

Resistance training has some inherent dangers, as do all physical activities. The chance of injury

can be greatly reduced or completely removed by using correct lifting techniques, proper breathing,

maintaining equipment in good working condition, and by wearing the appr opriate clothing.

1. It is highly recommended that you consult your physician before beginning any

exercise program. This is especially important for individuals over the age of

35, or persons with pre-existing health problems.

2. Always warm up before starting a workout. Try to do a total body warm up

before you start. It is especially important to warm up the specific muscle

groups you are going to be using. This can be as simple as performing a warm

up set of high repetitions and light weight for each exercise.

3. Use proper form. Focus on only working the muscle groups intended for the

exercise you are doing. If there is strain elsewhere, you may need to

re-evaluate the amount of weight that is involved with the lift. Keeping proper

form also includes maintaining control through an entire range of motion.

4. Breath properly. Inhale during the eccentric phase of the exercise, and exhale

during the lifting, or concentric phase. Never hold your breath during any part

of an exercise.

5. Always wear the appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising. Wearing

comfortable athletic shoes with good support and suitable, breathable

clothing will reduce the risk of injury.

6. Maintaining equipment in proper operating condition is of utmost importance

for a safe resistance training program. Pulleys and cables should be checked

for wear frequently and replaced as needed. Equipment should be lubricated

as indicated by the manufacturer.

7. Read and study all warning labels on this machine. It is absolutely necessary

that you familiarize yourself and all others with the proper operation of this

machine prior to use.

8. Keep hands, limbs, loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of all

moving parts.

9. Do not attempt to lift more weight than you can control safely.

10. Inspect the machine daily for loose or worn parts. If a problem is found do not

allow the machine to be used until all parts are tightened or worn or defective

parts are repaired or replaced.
