Toning exercise routines to use on your DP weight machine

• Always consult with your physician before beginning any fitness routine on your weight machine.
• Start by stretching muscles and exercising lightly before beginning your muscle toning routine to avoid injury. A thorough warm-up routine increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for muscle toning.
• To tone muscles, set weights to work your muscles at a moderate percentage of their capacity such as 50 percent.
• Start with a moderate number of repetitions and increase the number of repetitions with each set that you complete.
• Complete as many sets of 15 to 20 repetitions as possible without extreme discomfort. Rest for 1 minute between sets.
• Tone muscles by completing more sets of 15 to 20 repetitions rather than by increasing the weight while completing sets.

Common replacement parts for DP weight machines

• Weight cables. Weight cables attach lifting components to the weight stacks to provide resistance during lifting.
• Weight cable pulleys. Weight cable pulleys attach to the weight machine frame and help guide cables from the lifting components to the weight stacks.
• Weight stack carriage. The weight stack carriage holds, supports and aligns the stack of weights so the weights remain stable during lifting.
• Fasteners. Fasteners such as bolts, nuts, screws and pins hold the various lifting components of the weight machine together.
