Operating Instructions

The Total Gym APEX G3 offers a versatile workout experience with 8 levels of resistance and over 70 exercises. It accommodates users aged 8 to 80 and supports a maximum weight of 300 lbs.

Resistance Levels

The resistance is controlled by adjusting the incline of the glide board. Higher incline settings provide more resistance, making exercises more challenging. Start with a lower resistance level and gradually increase as your strength improves.

Performing Exercises

Refer to the included Exercise Guide, "Start It Up" DVD, and access the streaming workouts for detailed instructions on performing various exercises. The machine allows for smooth, low-impact movements targeting all major muscle groups for a total body workout.

• Strength Training: Utilize the cable pulley system and various attachments for exercises like bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder presses, and rows.
• Core Strengthening: Engage your core with exercises performed on the glide board, such as crunches and planks.
• Leg Workouts: Use the squat stand for squats and lunges, or the leg pull accessory for leg curls and extensions.
