CABLE EXERCISES

15:15 Full body workout: Curl-Squat-Press


This three movement sequence combined with a stop watch is a fast, intense, full body workout you can do anywhere. How to do it: Take a shoulder width stance with the cable under the arches of both of your feet. Keep your chest out and head, neck and spine aligned as you curl the cables up to your chest. Maintaining upper body alignment and the curl, squat touching your elbows to your knees. Now stand and press the cables overhead as shown. Focus on your posture and using slow, controlled movements. The 15:15 is a measure of time; 15 seconds on, 15 seconds rest. Watching your clock, start by going through 3 to 4 Curl-Squat-Press reps - finishing in 15 seconds. Rest for 15 seconds and begin again. Your goal is to match or add reps throughout the entire 8 to 15 minute session. Do not attempt to do more than 8 minutes if this is your first time doing this workout. Focus on clean technique, good posture and controlled movements.

Start with 6 reps and do 3 sets - add a rep each week.

SKY PUNCHES

WARNING HOW TO USE FITNESS CABLES


To adjust resistance
Lifeline Fitness Cables allow you to adjust the peak resistance from 10-100 lbs. by simply adding or removing cables. 1. To add a cable, stretch the end of the cable so that it slides into the cable pocket channel of one of the handles. Then, repeat this with the other end of the cable and insert it into the same pocket on the second handle. In other words, if you insert one end of the cable into the center pocket on one handle, make sure you insert the other end into the center pocket of the other handle. When stretched, the cables should not cross each other. 2. To remove a cable, stretch the end of the cable so it slides out of the cable pocket channel. Repeat this with the other end of the cable.

EXERCISES
ALWAYS read all warnings and instructions to prevent injury.

CABLE

To use with the door attachment


1. Select a sturdy, three-hinged door that locks. 2. Always face the side of the door that opens away from you. 3. While the door is open, insert the door attachment strap through the exposed space just above one of the hinges, pushing the end with the sewn door stopper through to the other side so it clears the other side of the door. The plastic protector should be on the side of the door that youre on. 4. Close and LOCK THE DOOR. 5. Test the door attachment by giving it a very strong pull using your body weight to ensure that the sewn stopper catches and that the attachment is secure. It should not move at all when you pull it. 6. Thread the cables or a handle through the loop and youre ready to begin your workout.
Note:Make sure that when youre working out with the door attachment, the cables engage with the protective plastic sleeve, NOT the nylon directly. The protective sleeve prevents the cables from rubbing against the nylon, which can cause premature wear.

Basic usage
Fitness Cables can be used to perform a wide variety of exercises. Simply stand on the cable(s) with one foot to perform lunges, lateral raises, bicep curls and much more. To increase your intensity, stand on the cable(s) with both feet, positioning them shoulder-width apart. Just make sure you always wear shoes and position the cable at the arch of your shoe to prevent the cable from slipping and causing injury.

Working out with the door attachment


You can position the door attachment near any one of the three hinges on your door. Doing so provides different angles for different workouts and is the most secure way to anchor the Cable System. 1. The top hinge angle is perfect for downward movements. 2. The center hinge angle is for straight pulling or rowing movements. 3. The bottom hinge angle is for upward movements.
