To exercise means that the muscles of your body must move against (or overcome)
a force - called resistance, or “weight”
• The human body contains a large number of muscles. The exercises shown
on the Exercise Chart are designed to work the different muscles.
As muscles differ in strength, the resistance to be engaged when performing
the different exercises must be varied to match the strength of the particular
muscle(s) being exercised.
• Based on the principle of progressive overload, as you become tter and as
the strength and endurance of your muscles improve, you must gradually
increase the resistance applied during each exercise in order to continue
making improvements in your tness level.
• Exercise resistance for the Total Flex
™
is provided by two sources:
- Power Pods: Each Power Pod carries a set of 3 Resistance Bands
(varying in resistance or “weight”). By clipping the Handles or Ankle
Cuffs to one or more of the Resistance Bands, different levels of
exercise resistance can be obtained.
- Leg Extender: There are 3 red Resistance Bands (of equal resistance)
connected to the Support Legs underneath the Seats.
By connecting one or more of the Resistance Bands to the Leg
Extender, different levels of resistance can be obtained.
• Adjust the seats to positions 1 & A.
• Place one foot next to the slotted pipe.
Then slowly lift the Carry Handle, allowing
the Support Leg tted with Roller Wheels to
roll towards the other Support Leg.
• Important: For stability, leave a gap between
the folded legs
• Place the Cover (optional item) over the
Total Flex
™
unit.

provided (see 1 & 2 below).
2. Lay the three red Resistance Bands over the Retainer Pin (see below).
3. Place the Pulley Axle (with Pulleys) between the Support Legs that are
underneath the Power Pod Seat 1 - 5. Align with the 2 holes and fasten the screws
with the Allen wrench provided (see 6 below).
