User manual FITNESSQUEST TOTAL GYM 1100

[. . . ] Strength training not only tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand, walk, lift, and turn; it can actually transform our body composition. By reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in our bodies, strength training can effectively turn up our metabolic thermostat, so that we burn calories all the time, no matter what we're doing. It's easy--all you have to do is spend 15 to 20 minutes a day, 3 to 4 days per week on your Total Gym 1100 to start realizing the benefits. 23 A 22 24 26 28 27 21 24 27 29 Be sure to read through this Owner's Manual carefully.
