Post subject: Guide books to using Nautilus equipment
Archived from groups: misc>fitness>weights (more info?)

I've just started going to the gym - haven't been in years. The gym I chose
has mostly Nautilus and some free weights (as well as other non-weight
stuff).

There are, of course, guides on the sides of the machines and people to ask.
But
I'm wondering if there are any good sites, Adobe PDF files, or books I can
buy
that explain how to use the Natulis machines and guidlines to workout
routines.

I've done some searching and found some, but reccomendations would also
be helpful.

Thanks,
Gary

I don't know if you are serious or just a troll.

There used to be books on this subject. They had lots of pictures and no
information. How many ways could you do a movement? This is a machine. It
controls the movement. There is no technique involved. You sit on it, grab
the handles, then push (or pull). You would have to work very hard to screw
up a machine like this. It controls you, not the other way around.

I should point out that Nautilus machines went through several evolutions
and moved several times and has had a number of owners. So the machines
vary greatly depending when they were manufactured.

And to prove their incredible lack of relevance to anything fitness related,
they are presently owned by blowflex.

Lee:

I'm not a troll - at least in as much as my intention truely was to find
books on the subject. Yes, I realize the machines fairly well controll
the movements. But there are still issues like selecting the proper weight,
reps, times/week you go, etc. ~ Yes, any time spent using the machine
without being an idiot about it is probably better than nothing .. and
I understand that for any level of serious body builder or advanced
athlete a controled machine like Nautilus is probably not the way to go.

Anyway, while you didn't offer much I could use, thanks for trying. I do
appreciate the input.

Curt:
Thanks. I see that Ellinton Darden seems to be a recurring authority
on use of Nautilus. Going to the libray & book store today and will
look for those books. Thanks.
