Page 13: The Workouts
The Workouts 20 MINUTE BETTER BODY WORKOUT FREQUENCY: 3 DAYS PER WEEK (M-W-F) TIME: ABOUT 20 MINUTES Start by performing one set of each exercise. Warm up with a light resistance that you can perform easily for 5 -10 reps without fatiguing.
Page 14: 20 Minute Upper/Lower Body
The Workouts 20 MINUTE UPPER/LOWER BODY FREQUENCY: 4 DAYS PER WEEK (M-T-Th-F) TIME: ABOUT 20 MINUTES This program provides you with a quick and effective workout that combines muscle conditioning with some cardiovascular benefits. Do this routine when you are limited in time or just want a variation to your normal routine. Perform this program training 2 days, resting 1 to 2.
Page 15: Body Building
The Workouts BODY BUILDING FREQUENCY: 3 DAYS ON, 1 DAY OFF TIME: ABOUT 45-60 MINUTES Body building requires focused concentration and dedication to training, as well as proper eating habits. Train each muscle group to failure before moving on to the next exercise. Do not neglect any muscle group. If needed, include an aerobic activity to increase your caloric expenditure and help to reduce your body fat levels to achieve a defined muscular look.
Page 16: Circuit Training Anaerobic / Cardiovascular
The Workouts CIRCUIT TRAINING - ANAEROBIC/CARDIOVASCULAR FREQUENCY: 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK TIME: ABOUT 20-45 MINUTES Circuit training is a great way to achieve the benefits of strength training and cardiovascular training in one quick, challenging routine. The idea is to move quickly from exercise to exercise, taking only as much rest between sets as it takes to set up the next exercise (less than 20 seconds).
Page 17: True Aerobic Circuit Training
The Workouts TRUE AEROBIC CIRCUIT TRAINING FREQUENCY: 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK TIME: ABOUT 20-60 MINUTES Circuit training is a great way to achieve the benefits of strength training and cardiovascular training in one quick, challenging routine. By returning to the aerobic rowing exercise between each set you are increasing your aerobic capacity, endurance and burning fat as energy.
Page 18: Strength Training
The Workouts STRENGTH TRAINING FREQUENCY: 3 DAYS PER WEEK (M-W-F) TIME: ABOUT 45-60 MINUTES This program is designed to emphasize overall strength development. This is an advanced routine to be used only after you have progressed from the advanced general conditioning routine and only after you have perfected your exercise techniques. Work each set to near exhaustion.

It should be noted that rotation is more limited in the spine than most people realize and should be performed with minimal resistance, and always in proper alignment. Starting position: •Sitting sideways on the bench with one side facing the Power Rods, grasp the handle closest to you with both hands.
Page 47: Leg Exercises
Leg Exercises LEG EXTENSION with attachment Muscles worked: This exercise emphasizes the muscles on the front of the upper thigh (quadriceps muscle group) which are responsible for straightening your leg against resistance.

Page 49: Standing Hip Extension W/Knee Flex
Leg Exercises STANDING HIP EXTENSION (knee flexed) Muscles worked: This exercise strengthens and develops the muscles of your buttocks area (gluteus maximus).

Starting position: •Remove the bench.
Page 50: Seated Leg Curl
Leg Exercises SEATED LEG CURL – Knee Flexion Muscles worked: This exercise emphasizes the hamstring muscle group (biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitenonosus) on the back of the thigh.

Strength and power in these muscles are essential for all sports and daily activities.
Page 52: Lying Leg Extension
Leg Exercises LYING LEG EXTENSION Muscles worked: This exercise allows you to strengthen and develop the front part of your upper thighs (quadriceps muscle groups), helping to increase your muscular stability at the knee joints. Starting position: •Sit on the bench facing the Power Rods and attach the handle to the corresponding ankle. •Lie back on the bench so that your head is supported by the bench.
Page 53: Seated Hip Adduction
Leg Exercises SEATED HIP ADDUCTION Muscles worked: This exercise will not burn off fat from your inner thighs or make them smaller! There is no exercise that will burn fat from a specific area. This exercise will, however, strengthen the muscles on the insides of your thighs (adductor muscle groups). It also works the muscles on the outside of your hip (gluteus medius) on the side that you are standing on.
Page 54: Ankle Eversion
Leg Exercises ANKLE EVERSION Muscles worked: This exercise strengthens and develops the muscles on the outside of your lower legs (peroneals). These muscles are essential for standing balance and lateral agility of the ankle. Starting position: •Sit on the bench with one side of your body facing the Power Rods. •Attach the handle around the ball of the foot furthest from the pulley.

Page 59 Measurements If you would like to measure your personal before-and-after results, there are several steps you need to take. It is important that you accurately perform each task, then at the end of the six-week program, repeat the process in the same manner. Body Weight: Remove clothing and shoes and record your the best way to determine your success.
Page 60 Measurements Skinfold Measurements To accurately track your progress through this six-week program, it is necessary to take skinfold measurements. By measuring yourself in this way, you will be able to determine your lean-body mass and your body-fat percentage. The goal of this program is to increase your lean-body mass and decrease your body-fat percentage.
Page 61 Measurements Using Calipers When Measuring Skinfolds The procedure for measuring skinfold thickness is to grasp firmly with the thumb and forefinger a fold of skin and surface fat and pull it away from the underlying muscle. Take the caliper in your other hand and open the jaws. Clamp the jaws over the pinched skin and fat.
Page 62 Determining Your Body-Fat To Use The Nomogram: 1) Locate the sum of your three skinfolds in the right column and mark it. 2) Locate your age in years on the far left column and mark it. 3) Connect the two marks with a straightedge. Where the straightedge intersects the line in the middle column appropriate to you, you will find your body-fat percentage.
Page 63 Calculating Lean Body Mass Now that you know your body-fat percentage, you can calculate your lean-body percentage. This will eventually show you how many pounds of muscle were added to your body, after completing the program. For Example: • Before the program, Joe weighs 200 pounds and measures 30% fat, which amounts to 60 pounds.
