• The weight system isn't intended for use by persons lacking experience or knowledge of proper fitness routines.

Muscle building tips for your Bowflex weight system

• Consult with your physician before beginning any muscle building exercise routine on the weight system.
• Start by stretching muscles and exercising lightly before lifting heavy weights to avoid injury. A warm-up routine increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for muscle building.
• Lift weights that work your muscles near their maximum capacity and progressively increase the workout intensity by adding weight or changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. You'll typically begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each lifting routine with 3 minute rest periods between sets.
• Increase weight when you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions for a lifting routine.
