Today we are sharing approved cleaning products and best practices for your 66体育 - TRUE Fitness让运动更简单_官方网站 66体育 66体育 cardio and strength equipment. Please note, there is a difference between cleaning and disinfecting your equipment.

According to the CDC:

• Cleaning refers to the removal of germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces. Cleaning does not kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection.
• Disinfecting refers to using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection.

66体育 - TRUE Fitness让运动更简单_官方网站 66体育 66体育 recommends the following to clean and disinfect your equipment:

First, wash surfaces on the machine to remove germs. Apply the cleaner to a clean cloth and use to wipe down equipment. Avoid spraying any cleaner directly onto equipment to prevent entering openings and causing corrosion or damage to electrical components.

Recommended and approved cleaners:

• Cardio and Strength Equipment: 30 parts water to 1 part mild detergent (Dawn or similar dish soap).
• Consoles: 1 part 91% isopropyl alcohol to 1 part water. Dampen a soft cloth and wipe the surface of the console.

Recommended and approved disinfectants after thoroughly wiping cleaner off machine:

• Cardio and Strength Equipment: Gym Wipes Antibacterial Wipes
• Upholstery: Solution of 5-10% household bleach diluted with water may be used as well. Be sure to test an inconspicuous area first. DO NOT use chemical cleaners on the upholstery.

Use only approved cleaners and dilute properly. Using other solutions or incorrect dilutions may result in corrosion and/or damage to your equipment including dulling of finish. Disinfectant products may require remaining on the surface for a certain period of time (i.e. 3-5 minutes) but be sure to wipe off after this period of time to ensure it does not corrode or damage product. Never use Windex®, glass cleaners, ammonia, alcohol, petrol, or chemical products on plexiglass weight stack guards. Never use solvents such as lacquer thinner, mineral spirits or acetone on painted products.

Best Practices

• Provide Gym Wipes or cleaning solution throughout your facility. As a precaution, equipment should be wiped down before and after each use. Benches, mats, dumbbells, medicine balls, and fitness accessories should always be wiped down after use too.
  • Depending on the frequency of use, staff should wipe down all equipment at least once or twice per day.
  • It may be necessary to use multiple wipes to keep the surface wet for required length of time for proper disinfecting.
• Remind employees to regularly wash their hands with soap and water. The CDC recommends scrubbing hands for at least 20 seconds.
• Post reminders on cleanliness best practices for employees and guests.
• Use proper protective clothing while cleaning (i.e. gloves or masks) as recommended by manufacturer.

For up to date information on prevention and community resources, please refer to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Over the next 12 months, we will be introducing you to a new face behind the brand you know and love. 

Today, we are talking to the ‘face’ of our company – Frank Trulaske, Founder and CEO of 66体育 - TRUE Fitness让运动更简单_官方网站 66体育 66体育 since 1981. 

Since its founding in 1981, TRUE has been built on two core guiding principles: Build the highest quality products and support them with superior service. “I decided, if we are going to get in this business, we are going to be the best, number one treadmill. That was the product we made for many, many years and that same philosophy is true today,” said Mr. Trulaske. 

Frank Trulaske built the company on the core pillars of quality and service. “The idea really came from my father purchasing an American Tread X treadmill in 1979, and my brother and I helped him get it in the house and we began running on it. We were outdoor runners. At the time, was just maybe at the beginning of people running outdoors.” Over time, the duo had issues with quality, and decided that they could build a better treadmill. “This led ultimately to, I said to my brother, this could be a great concept for us as a business opportunity.” 

66体育 - TRUE Fitness让运动更简单_官方网站 66体育 66体育 continued to innovate over the years. In 1987, TRUE introduced the first removable safety key on a treadmill. The following year, TRUE entered the commercial space with the introduction of the 900 Premium Commercial Cardio Line.

In TRUE fashion, TRUE added to its lineup of premium features with the addition of the Soft System®, orthopedic treadmill belt, HRC Heart Rate Control®, patented Soft Select®, and the addition of ellipticals, bikes, the TRUE Stretch®, Alpine Runner Incline Trainer, and climbers. While the company was rapidly innovating, one key attribute remained TRUE – the commitment to putting our customers first. 

“I think the way we put customers first in designing our products is to make them simple, less service, user friendly, beautiful styling. Products that meet the market needs of the customers,” said Frank. We have become the oldest family owned and operated company in our industry thanks to our focus on designing, building and servicing excellent products. TRUE holds a product design expertise, and provides exceptional product quality. In addition, we offer responsive service to ensure all of our customers are taken care of. We go to great lengths to deliver exceptional personal service. 

When you walk through the doors of TRUE, you see a sign that reads integrity matters. When asking Mr. Trulaske why integrity matters to him, he stated “I believe integrity matters for many reasons. But, integrity is our word. If we say we are going to do something, we do it. We are here to be the best and support everybody that’s a partner with TRUE.”

Exercise Goals

This workout will hit every muscle group in your lower body and up into your core! You will gain strength from the leg press and other movements will work on a combination of strength, conditioning and muscular hypertrophy. You will definitely have a leg up on the competition with this workout.

Tips Before the Workout

As with all workouts, complete a warm up before starting to exercise. This will help warm up your muscles and get them ready for strenuous activity. Stretching and foam rolling are good examples.

When you get to the leg press, leg extension and leg curl, be sure to allow yourself about three to four warm up sets. These sets should be gradually increased to help you find a comfortable weight for you to use for the work sets.

An example workout would be:

• 40lbs x 5 reps
• 70lbs x 5 reps
• 100lbs x 5 reps
• 130lbs x 5 reps (this last set at 130lbs was challenging so this will be your first of 2 additional work sets).

To adjust this workout for your skill level there are a few things to consider:

• For a Beginner: Use a weight that is moderately challenging for you but allows you to keep perfect form with every rep.
• For an Intermediate: Use a weight that makes it challenging to complete all your sets. For the conditioning portion of the workout, try to rest as little as possible.
• For an Advanced: Use a weight that is very challenging for you to complete the first set, rest around 3 minutes and complete it again at the same weight. This will help maximize strength adaptations. For the conditioning portion of the workout try not to rest.

Proper Forms To Remember For This Workout

When doing the Shaky Legs Workout, remember these forms to prevent injury and maximize your workout:

FUSE-300 Leg Press

Begin with your feet in the middle of the platform and at shoulder width apart with your toes pointing outward about 30 degrees. Your knees should be bent slightly past 90 degrees. To be sure you are starting at the right depth, simply adjust the back pad forward or backward to achieve desired bend in knee.

Once set up properly, keep even pressure from heel to toe; you should feel the weight mid foot. Keep your knees pushed out and push into the platform until your legs reach almost full extension, do not lock out or hyperextend your knees. Return back to the starting position slowly until the weight stack is just above resting position and press again.

Air Squat

Start with your feet shoulder width apart with your toes pointing outward about 30 degrees. Keep even pressure from heel to toe, you should feel the weight mid foot. Bend at your knees and hips at the same time, while pushing your knees out. Keep going down until you are below the height of a chair (lower than you want to go). Then, when standing back up try to push your hips to the ceiling and stand up straight.

FUSE-200 Seated Leg Curl

For this movement, you should move the lower leg pad up to near the seat level. Once seated place your legs on top of the pad farthest from you, with the pad just above the ankles. Then, move the pad that is closer down so that it is snug on top of your thighs.

When you begin the movement, grasp the handles and curl your feet under your glutes as far as you can, hold this bottom position for 1 count. Then, let your legs come back up, but not all the way back to resting position. At the top, you should have a slight bend in your knees, and repeat.

Lunge

With feet shoulder width, take a slightly exaggerated step forward. While bending your front leg, lower your back leg to the floor. Both legs should be bent at about a 90 degree angle. Gently tap your back knee to the floor and pull yourself forward to your front foot. Try to keep most of your weight balanced in your heel that is bearing the weight from the lunge. Once you stand up straight again, take another step forward and repeat.

FUSE-100 Leg Extension

Once seated, set the lower leg pad up so that your legs are bent back slightly under the seat and the pad is just above your ankles. Use the back of the seat to be sure the back of your knees is flush against the seat, and keep the top pad up and out of the way. Grip the handles when you extend slowly and extend your knees as much as you can and hold the top position for 1 count (your legs should be straight at the top). Then, return the weight slowly not letting the weight stack come to rest and repeat.

Kettlebell Swings

For this movement you will likely need a kettlebell heavier than 15lbs. To start, take a shoulder width stance, similar to your squat stance. Then, grab the kettlebell with both hands, bend your knees and hips together while keeping your back straight, and let the kettlebell hang down between your legs with straight arms. You will then swing upwards with your legs (pretend you are jumping with the kettlebell in your hands).

Once you extend your knees and hips allow the kettlebell to travel up and away from you until it reaches shoulder height (think about throwing the kettlebell up, but don’t let go). Do not pause at the top, let the kettlebell come back down quickly to the start position (think controlled fall) and swing it up again using your legs. The reps should be continuous with no pause.

FUSE: 1400 Abdominal

Begin by adjusting the seat so that the upper pad goes across your mid to upper back. Once seated, adjust the upper pad so that you are sitting straight up. Once you made the adjustments, grasp the handles on both sides of your head, and using your abs try to pull your elbows down to your knees. Squeeze this bottom position and hold for a brief second before returning to the starting position. Be sure to not let the weight stack hit when returning to the starting position, use your abs to control the weight on the way up.

Plank

Begin by lying on the floor with your forearms flat on the floor and hands apart, making sure your elbows are underneath your shoulders. Keeping your legs and core tight, pick up your hips. You should look like a straight line from your head to your feet. Don’t push your hips too high (like an arch) and don’t let your hips sag (like a bridge).

The Exercise

Final Thoughts

Always focus on your form with each movement and rep, but be extra careful on the leg press, squat, and lunge. These movements are meant to purposefully stress the knees and hips to help build up strength in the lower body, but you don’t want to overdo it.

Make each set somewhat challenging, but not to the point where your form begins to fail. Log your weights used and simply repeat this workout in a week or two to see how much better you have gotten. Make sure you stay active, eat enough food, and get enough rest. All these factors will help you recover from your workout faster.

An Attractive Series

This series is very attractive. Meaning, anyone who takes a look at them would want to give them a try. When grouped together in a gym setting, the users will definitely know that these machines are supposed to be used in a complete workout with each other. Gyms or fitness centers can also hold classes for the series to teach people how to use the machines properly when first introduced. Form is highly important for use of these machines to prevent injury, and could be taught in the class or by an individual trainer in a one-on-one session.

A Series to Replace Multiple Workouts

Many functional exercise movements coincide with each range of movement provided on Composite Strength machines, replacing other movements for a higher calorie burn while cutting workout time in half.

The Full Body Press activates more skeletal musculature than any other machine on the market today. It works the chest, shoulders, core, hip flexors, quads, calves, and hamstrings by replacing movements such as:

• Planks
• Bench press
• Shoulder and triceps presses
• Leg press
• Squats
• Calf raises

By combining a reverse decline lunge motion and a chest press motion for faster, more accurate fitness results in one movement, the Glute Press provides users a complete upper and lower body workout simultaneously. By using the Glute Press users can skip the high step ups, box jumps, lunges, declining bench press, split squats and more since the machine targets the:

• Glutes
• Hips
• Inner and outer thighs
• Quads
• Hamstrings
• Core
• Triceps
• Chest

As for the Ab Crunch/ Back Row, you can replace motions such as:

• Sit-ups
• V-ups
• Pull-ups
• Rotary torso twist
• Mid rows

The Ab Crunch/Back Row combines the benefits of core conditioning with a simultaneous knee raise and back row exercise, working the core, upper and lower back, upper and lower abdominals, and oblique muscles.

Train Harder – Better – Faster.

These three machines and the movements that go with them all can take training to the next level. By pairing the Composite Strength machines with one another or with TRUE’s HIT Cardio, users can experience high intensity interval training (HIIT) like never before..

The Composite Strength series alone can compose a HIIT workout by decreasing the volume of weights and increasing the amount of reps. A HIIT workout on the Composite Strength series is easy. Due to light starting weights, users of all levels can start with higher reps and a lower amount of weight to increase heart rate then add weights to incorporate muscle-building movements to challenge even the most elite athletes. A HIIT workout can also be accomplished by pairing the HIT Cardio, such as the Alpine Runner while using the Composite Strength pieces as tools in active rest.

HIIT training is one of the highest proven ways to lose body fat. In HIIT training, heart rate should increase and decrease in intervals to increase caloric burn. Start off with a fast pace on any HIT Cardio machine to get the heart rate up quickly, then use a machine from the Composite Strength series to slow it down to gain strength, stability, and coordination. Repeat as needed.

The Composite Series has a wide range of variety for those who want to strengthen their bodies, gain stability and coordination, and to overall get in shape. The three Composite Strength pieces are easily accessible and adjustable for users of all sizes and levels, yet smooth with every push and pull. You can experience the Composite Strength series with TRUE’s HIT Cardio as part of Next Level Training live at IHRSA 2017.

This isolated shoulder workout was designed by TRUE’s own personal trainers. Here, all of your functional trainer questions will be answered by TRUE Trainer, Jamie.

What is This Workout Meant to Accomplish?

“[Functional trainers are designed to help] build muscle in your shoulders. The rep range (amount of reps per motion) is good for building size in your shoulder muscle. A 10-12 rep range is good for building size, 15-18 [reps] is usually meant more for building endurance”

Who Should be Doing This Workout?

“All individuals [can do this functional trainer workout]; beginner and elite. [This workout] can be used for any level of fitness, but be sure to adjust the weight appropriately to accommodate a set of 12. At least two reps should be extremely challenging, like a 9 or a 10 on a 10 point scale.”

How Often Should Someone Train?

“Do the workout about two times a week about three days apart. As you get stronger, simply add more weight or more reps.”

What Should This Workout be Paired With?

“Pair shoulder workout with chest workouts of about the same level. As a fully rounded workout, shoulders and core or shoulders and cardio would be a good pair. This video is not a full shoulder workout. Shoulder workouts should usually be about 8 movements of three sets of 12. Combining those movements [in the video] with three sets of 12 in a chest workout would also be a good pairing.”

Trainer Tips:

“Beware elevating [your] shoulders close to your ears. Your shoulders should be level during this workout. As always, try to have a source of carbs before and after each strength session. For those at expert level, be sure to have a source of protein for your workout.”

Be Sure To Pace Yourself When Working Out

“To get an optimum workout it is important to pace yourself,” said Bob Starr, 66体育 - TRUE Fitness让运动更简单_官方网站 66体育 66体育 Product Manager. “You want your heart rate at the proper level for an extended period of time. If your heart rate gets too high your activity can become counterproductive, if it is too low you are not getting any substantial health benefits.” When people over-train, they have a tendency to become “burned out” quickly and quit their workout routine. Over-training can also lead to injury, especially in older adults, and can actually reduce conditioning – the opposite effect most people want.

By under-training, the user runs the risk of not burning the number of calories needed for the workout to be productive. For runners, it simply doesn’t allow them to hit the fitness goals needed to compete at any given level. One of the benefits of a heart rate training regimen is consistency; something that should be desired in all workouts.

Try TRUE’s Heart Rate Control (HRC®) System

With TRUE’s Heart Rate Control (HRC®) System, users always stay within a few beats of their target heart rate while working out on the equipment. TRUE treadmills have patented the ability to automatically adjust both speed and grade to maintain that target heart rate – setting TRUE equipment apart from the competition. If users don’t feel like finding that target heart rate on their own, TRUE treadmills feature the Cruise Control button.

Simply press the button when a stress level that feels right is attained and the machine will do the rest, automatically adjusting to their selected heart rate. Cruise Control keeps runners comfortable and motivated throughout their workout. It can be said exercising without heart rate monitoring is like driving a car without a speedometer.

TRUE offers HRC workouts that are seamlessly integrated into the equipment to ensure the heart gets the exercise and strength training it needs. 66体育 - TRUE Fitness让运动更简单_官方网站 66体育 66体育 Technology, Inc. specializes in the manufacturing and distribution of premium quality cardiovascular and flexibility products. TRUE’s innovative and award-winning products are among the best in the fitness industry and enable users to look better, feel better, and play better. 66体育 - TRUE Fitness让运动更简单_官方网站 66体育 66体育 markets its products in more than 70 countries through a worldwide network of more than 250 dealers and distributors.
