Nautilus NS200 Owner's Manual - The Workouts
STRENGTH TRAINING
FREQUENCY: 3 DAYS PER WEEK (M-W-F)
TIME: ABOUT 45-60 MINUTES
This program is designed to emphasize overall strength development. This is an advanced routine to be used only after you have progressed from the
advanced general conditioning routine and only after you have perfected your exercise techniques. Work each set to near exhaustion. If you can perform
more than 5 to 8 reps, you should increase your resistance 10 lbs. and decrease your reps to 5. Rest 60 - 120 seconds between each set and exercise. Focus
on proper form. Tighten the muscle before you move, squeeze the muscle as you move, cramp the muscle at the point of full contraction, and resist the
movement as you lower the weight. Move slowly on each rep. Use a pace that will allow you to stop the movement instantly at any point in the rep. Count
two seconds up and four seconds down and work to fatigue during each set.
