Specificatons and parts
How to choose your punches
Your Tunturi Slam Man Workout consists of three phases
Workout Routine Principles
Warm up
To prevent injury and maximise performance, we recommend you begin each workout with at least 5 minutes of gentle exercise that gradually increases your heart rate and warms your muscles. This can be done by practicing all the Slam Man workout movements at a slow tempo and easy range of motion.
AEROBIC AND MUSCLE TONING WORKOUT
To maximise the health and fitness benefits that you seek, the warm up should
be followed by 15-20 minutes of aerobic boxing, 2-3 times per week with your
Tunturi Slam Man. Build up to this amount as your fitness levels improve and
progress at a rate that is comfortable to you. As your fitness level increases
you may want to gradually increase the length and intensity of your workout to
a total of 30 minutes, most days of the week.
Once the basic workout is comfortable for you, interval training offers the
opportunity for greater workout variety, increasing cardiovascular benefits
and calorie burning. Interval training means alternating short periods between
high-intensity workouts (using the whole body), and lower intensity workouts
(using upper body only). When performing at higher levels of intensity you
will work at a level that is at the higher end of your target heart rate zone,
and lower intensity at the lower end of your heart rate zone.
Monitor your heart rate throughout your workout, this will help determine the
level of exertion that is safe and appropriate to you and serve as a good
measure when monitoring your progress. There are three variables that will
help control the intensity of your workout.
Speed – Choose from three different skill levels which are programmed
into your Tunturi Slam Man. Start with Level 1, which will be the slowest
speed, then work up to levels 2 and 3.
Lower Body Work – Adding footwork uses the larger leg muscles, and when
performed simultaneously with upper-body punches the intensity of your
workout increases. To decrease intensity, perform the punches with NO
legwork.
Type of Punch – As you learn correct punching techniques, you will also
learn which punches to use on each of the Slam Man targets. Punches such as a
‘Power Punch’, or ‘Upper Cut’, require more effort than a punch such as a
‘Jab’. Using different punches during your workout will vary the intensity.
Sample workout routine
This sample routine will help you to learn the sequence of flashing lights
used in Programme 1, and to practice a series of punches that could be used
with this programme. Remember there are many ways you can sequence the
punches in each programme. This sample workout will teach you one, 15 punch
sequence. After you get comfortable with this routine you can use different
punches whenever you like. Begin with your left foot and shoulder forward, as
if using the Orthodox Position, and follow the following sequence of punches.
NOTE: Once you have mastered Programme 1 in the Orthodox Position, change
sides to a Southpaw Position (right foot and shoulder facing forward, and
reverse all of the left/right directions below:

Cool Down
At the end of your aerobic boxing workout, return to easy boxing movements

stretches. This allows your heart rate to drop slowly back to its normal
resting rate.

TORSO/BASE ASSEMBLY.
-

-
Lay torso face down on the floor. Lay base on top of torso. Back side of base should face up. (The back of the base has flat corners – See Fig. 1)
-
Place the adjustment lock on the back of the base. Hook should be on the outside and facing down. Line up holes on lock with holes on the back of the torso.
NOTE: Lock needs to be flush against base. If it is not flush, move the torso up or down until the lock falls into place and is flush against the base. Insert the 4 – 1 1/4″ lock screws and tighten. -
Brackets – Place the short bracket over the base and attach to the top holes on the torso. Secure 2 of the 3/4″ bracket screws, but do not completely tighten. Place the long bracket over the base and attach to the bottom holes on the torso. Secure with the remaining 2 – 3/4″ brackets screws. Do not screw down all the way. NOTE: Brackets should be secure even if you don’t tighten all the way down. You will need to leave some space so that the height adjustment can function properly.
