Instructions for using the power center KINETIC F3
The KINETIC F3 exercise bench is a versatile multi-functional home-
training unit for optimum fitness training with special emphasis on
muscle-power. To ensure that your exercising is in keeping with your
general health, please read the following instructions and observe them
at all times:
1. Newcomers should avoid using excessively heavy weights.
2. During start-up sessions, use weights that can used for
15 repetitions without gasping for breath.
3. Always breathe regularly: breath out when pushing against the load
(concentric phase) and breath in when releasing it (eccentric phase).
Avoid forced breathing.
4. Carry out all movements evenly and smoothly without jerking.
5. All movements should be carried out to their full extent to prevent
contraction of the muscles. However, in the bending and stretching
positions ensure that the muscles are tense enough to minimise strain
on the joints.
6. Pay particular attention to keeping your back in a stable position. To
ensure this, keep the tension of the stomach muscles constant during
exercising.
7. Always remember that your tendons and joints do not develop as
quickly as your strength and muscle power.
For this reason, increase the load slowly in the course of your exercise
program. Your training should therefore be increased gradually in the
following
I. Increase the frequency of exercising (number of sessions per week)
II. Increase the amount of exercising (number of sets per exercise)
III. Increase the difficulty of the exercise (increase exercising weight).
Important
before beginning your training program, consult your
doctor to ensure that you are fit enough to use the KINETIC F3 power
center. Base your program on the result of this medical examination.
The above mentioned and yet to follow training instructions are only sui-
table for healthy people.
Recommendation
Exercises designed to increase strength and stamina and to build up
muscle mass (hypertrophy exercising) are the most suitable types of ex-
ercise for improving general health and fitness. To improve stamina and
strength, you should exercise with lighter weights (approx. 40-50% of
maximum force*) and the speed of movement should be fairly rapid but
controlled. The number of repeats should be between 16 and 20.
For exercises designed to increase muscle mass, you should use heavier
weights (approx. 60-80% of maximum force*) and the speed of move-
ment should be fairly slow.
After about 4-6 weeks' strength and stamina training, a moderate pro-
gram of exercising to increase muscle mass is possible. For older people
in particular, it is important to maintain and increase muscle mass in
order to stabilise and relieve strain on the joints.
*"Maximum individual strength" is defined as the effort which you as an individual must exert to
overcome a heavy load once.

Sample plans for training:
Weeks 1-4: strength-stamina (approx. 40-60% of muscular force)
sets
repetitions
2 - 4
16 - 20
Weeks 5-8: muscle training (approx. 60-80% of muscular force)
sets
repetitions
3 - 4
10 - 14
Always start your training session with a set of movements to warm up.
Use intervals in exercising to loosen up. Exercise 2-3 times per week with
your KINETIC F3 and take every opportunity to increase your program of
exercise, e.g. by taking long walks, jogging, cycling, swimming etc.
You will find that regular exercise increases your physical fitness as well
as your feeling of general wellbeing.
Caution!
You are using a machine that has been designed and built to the latest
safety standards. Any possible sources of danger that could lead to injury
have been extensively eliminated. The machine is intended for use by
adults only.
Wrong or excessive training can damage your health. Before commenci-
ng a course of fitness training, arrange for a medical check-up to see if
you are in a state of health suited to training on the machine. The result
of the check-up should be used as a basis for your training programme.
The machine is never to be looked upon as a toy. Please remember that
the nature of children who are using the machine can lead to unforeseen
situations and hazards for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable.
If children are allowed to use the machine, they should be instructed on
its correct use and dangerous situations explained to them.
The machine must be carefully assembled by an adult. It must be ensured
that the machine is not used until it has been fully assembled.
When used for regular training/exercising, we recommend checking all
parts of the machine (especially screws, nuts, bolts and ropes) every 1 to
2 months. So that the intended level of safety is maintained, the machine
is to be taken out of use if any parts are worn. The worn parts are to be
exchanged immediately.
Note on Operation
After using the leg curler, unhook the pulley rope to relieve the strain on
it during other exercises and to prolong the life span of your KINETIC F3
power machine.
