4 Using Your Machine USING THE BOWFLEX HAND GRIPS The Bowflex hand grips can be used as regular grips, hand cuffs or ankle cuffs, depending on how they are configured. Regular Grip Grasp the main portion of the grip without inserting your hand through the cuff portion. MOST OF THE EXERCISES YOU PERFORM UTILIZE THIS GRIP. USING THE BOWFLEX LEG PRESS BELT The Leg Press Belt is used exclusively for the Leg Press and the Seated Leg Curl exercises. • With the Bowflex seat adjusted to the "free sliding" position, (spring lock seat pin unlocked) the hand grips removed, and the desired amount of resistance hooked up, sit on the seat and position the leg press belt around your hips. Hand Cuff Grip Slip your hand through the cuff portion of the grip so that the foam pad rests on the back of your hand. Then grasp the remainder of the grip that is sitting in your palm. This method of gripping is great for exercises like front shoulder raises or any exercise where your palm is facing down. • Slide forward to the pulleys and place your feet through the right and left openings under the pulleys. • Attach the belt to the cables and cinch the adjustment strap on the belt by pulling the strap until the belt is taut. Ankle Cuff Grip: The cuff portion of the grip stretches apart from the handle portion of the grip. Simply insert your hand in the cuff and pull apart from the handle. Insert your foot or ankle and tighten grip up by pulling handle portion toward the cuff portion. • Place hands on vertical main frame and push yourself back while placing feet, one at a time, onto non-skid pads on pulley frame. • Grasp belt near where it's attached to the cables and begin to press back.
