STARTING OUT
Wear athletic shoes and comfortable light clothing when exercising on the Total Gym® Ultimate. Do not
exercise barefoot. Check your exerciser before using to ensure that all the parts are in place and working
properly (see pages 11 and 12 for details on Inspection, Maintenance and Storage).
Adult supervision is required at all times.
NOTE: The Rails and Glideboard can be raised to any desired level on the Height Adjustment
Column depending upon your degree of fitness. Please note, however, that the Rails
cannot be raised to the highest position on the Height Adjustment Column when the
Leg Pulley Bracket is attached to the column.
Be sure you have plenty of free space around the exerciser so that performing on
the Total Gym® Ultimate, as well as getting on and off, is convenient and safe.
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® Ultimate is as easy as 1-2-3 to use, so read on.
1. Important Things to Remember When Using the Total Gym® Ultimate
• 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 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.
When starting your exercise program, begin with the basic exercises in the Exercise Guide included with
your Total Gym® Ultimate 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.
For the specific Total Gym® Ultimate exercises and programs, study and follow the instructions
in the Exercise Guide included with your product.
