Rest for 3 minutes after each set if you are doing a muscle building workout, 1 minute after each set if you are doing a toning workout, and 30 seconds after each set if you are doing a weight loss workout. Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing yourself with the equipment and learning the proper form for each exercise.

End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move slowly as you
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The chart on page 13 of this manual can be photocopied and used to schedule and record your workouts. List the date, exercises performed, weight and numbers of sets and repetitions completed. Record your weight and key body measurements at the end of every month.
Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
