Toning exercise routines to use on your Proform weight system

• Always consult with your physician before beginning any fitness routine on your weight system.
• Start by stretching muscles and exercising lightly before beginning your muscle toning routine to avoid injury. A thorough warm-up routine increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for muscle toning.
• To tone muscles, set weights to work your muscles at a moderate percentage of their capacity such as 50 percent.
• Start with a moderate number of repetitions and increase the number of repetitions with each set that you complete.
• Complete as many sets of 15 to 20 repetitions as possible without extreme discomfort. Rest for 1 minute between sets.
• Tone muscles by completing more sets of 15 to 20 repetitions rather than by increasing the weight while completing sets.

Replacing a cable on your Proform weight system

• Wear work gloves to protect your hands when replacing the cable.
• Remove the key from the weight stack
• Create slack in the cable by adjusting the tension bolt.
• Remove the bolt that connects the cable to the lifting component.
• Release the cable from the weight stack.
• Release the pulley or pulleys that the cable goes through and remove the cable from the weight system.
• Route the new cable through the pulley(s) and reassemble the weight system. Tighten all fasteners securely. Remove slack from the new cable so it lifts the weight stack properly.
