The Aerofit Home Gym AF 709 allows for a variety of exercises. Always warm up before your workout and cool down afterwards.

4.1. Adjusting Weight Resistance:

To adjust the weight, insert the selector pin into the desired weight plate in the stack. Ensure the pin is fully inserted through the plate and the guide rod for secure operation. The weight stack has a safety lock to prevent unauthorized use; ensure it is disengaged before selecting weight.

The dual-action press arms can be used for both chest press and vertical butterfly exercises. A simple remove/insertion of a pin typically changes the function. Refer to the specific mechanism on your unit for detailed instructions.

• Chest Press: Sit on the seat with your back firmly against the backrest. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip. Push forward, extending your arms, then slowly return to the starting position.
