Exercise Guidelines

Building Muscle and Gaining Weight

Anaerobic exercise focuses on strength training, contrasting with aerobic exercise's endurance focus. Building muscle may lead to gradual weight gain. Your body adapts to stress; modify your diet with protein-rich foods like meat, fish, and vegetables to aid muscle recovery.

Muscle Strength and Endurance

Develop a balanced program for all major muscle groups. To increase strength, increase resistance and maintain repetitions. To tone, decrease resistance and increase repetitions. Adjust resistance, reps, or speed as you get comfortable. Aim for 15-20 reps per set for strength and endurance.

Training Intensity

Intensity depends on fitness level. Manage soreness by reducing load or sets. Progress gradually. Muscle soreness is normal initially; persistent pain may indicate a need to change your program.

Beginning a Strength Building Program

• Warming Up: 5-10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to prepare muscles.
• Workout: Be mindful of muscle soreness; prolonged soreness may indicate injury.
• Cool Down: 5-10 minutes of slow stretching to help muscles relax.

For a complete program, include 2-3 days of aerobic exercise.

Drinking Water

Proper hydration is crucial for body function. Increase fluid intake during exercise, as water is lost through sweat. Replace lost fluids for muscle recovery.

Rest Day

Take at least one rest day per week to allow your body to heal. Continuous training without rest can lead to overtraining and hinder progress.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Lubricate moving parts periodically with WD-40 or light oil.
• Inspect and tighten all parts before use.
• Clean the equipment with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
• Regularly examine for signs of damage or wear.
• Replace defective components immediately or discontinue use until repaired.
• Failure to perform regular checks may affect safety.

Defects and Malfunctions

If the equipment does not function properly, contact the dealer immediately. Provide the model number, serial number, nature of the problem, conditions of use, and purchase date. Further contact information and manuals are available on the Tunturi website.
