EXERCISE SYSTEM For Maximum Effectiveness and Safety, Please Read This Owner's Manual Before Using Your Total Gym 1700 Club. OWNER'S MANUAL Congratulations on purchasing your new Total Gym® 1700 Club. With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start your own workout program, to tone and strengthen the important muscle groups of your upper and lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is body sculpting, weight loss, health maintenance, or more energy for daily activities. Strength training not only tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand, walk, lift, and turn; it can actually transform our body composition. By reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in our bodies, strength training can effectively turn up our metabolic thermostat, so that we burn calories all the time, no matter what we're doing. It's easy - all you have to do is spend 15 to 20 minutes a day, 3 to 4 days per week on your Total Gym 1700 Club to start realizing the benefits. Be sure to read through this Owner's Manual carefully. It is the authoritative source of information about your Total Gym 1700 Club. If you have questions about your Total Gym 1700 Club, please call Customer Service at 1-800-321-9236, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Eastern Time.

Each time you raise or lower the Adjustment Column, be sure you hold it to keep it from dropping to the floor. Begin using the product at a low incline. As your fitness level progresses, increase the incline to increase the intensity and improve your muscle strength. Don't be in a hurry to exercise at a high intensity level; start out easily and build gradually. The Total Gym 1700 Club is as easy as 1-2-3 to use, so read on. 1. Important Things to Remember When Using the Total Gym 1700 Club · Always have control of the glideboard before getting on and off the exerciser. · Keep your feet on the floor when getting on and off the exerciser. Only remove them from the floor for the duration of the exercise. · If you are using the handles, hold onto them as you get on and off the glideboard. 2. Exercising with the Handles Only Grasp the handles which are attached to the cable and slide the glideboard to a position in which you can comfortably sit or lay down when performing the desired exercise (see the Exercise Guide). Be sure to keep your feet on the floor until you are in the correct position for the specific exercise. Then, if the exercise calls for your feet to be off the floor, place your feet as specified in the instructions. 3. Exercising with the Wing Accessory, the Press Up Bars and the Dip Bars Slide the glideboard to a position in which you can comfortably sit or lay down on when performing the desired exercise (see the Exercise Guide). Keep your feet on the ground until you are in the correct position and feel comfortable. Then, place your feet in the proper position and begin to exercise. 4. Using Resistance To add resistance, you can put weights (up to 75 lbs.) on the weight bar. However, the maximum user weight plus the weights on the weight bar cannot exceed 350 lbs. Place equal amounts of weight on each side. Do not use the weight bar with leg pulley exercises or pilates video. When starting your exercise program, begin with the basic exercises in the Exercise Guide included with your Total Gym 1700 Club to familiarize yourself with the movements. Use the lowest incline level to start with - you can work up to a higher incline level in the weeks and months to come. Once you have become efficient using your Total Gym 1700 Club without weights, you may begin to add weights to your workout program. See page 10 for proper setup. For the specific Total Gym 1700 Club exercises and programs, study and follow the instructions in the Exercise Guide included with your product. -- 12 -- INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE INSPECT YOUR TOTAL GYM 1700 CLUB PRIOR TO EACH USE Before using your Total Gym 1700 Club for your workout session, be sure to make the following inspection: · Make sure the equipment is fully opened and sitting on a solid, level surface with plenty of clearance on all sides.
