Training instructions
Risks due to incorrect/
excessive training!
You should consult a doctor before beginning your
training programme. Tell him/her what piece of trai-
ning equipment you want to use, show him/her these
instructions and allow a general fitness check to be
performed. He/she can give you further helpful tips
for your personal training programme.
A doctor‘s advice is absolutely necessary if you
have not done any sport for a longer period of time,
if you have problems with your heart, circulation,
balance or breathing (asthma), if you have ortho
paedic problems, if you are pregnant or if you are
taking medication that affects your pulse rate, blood
pressure or cholesterol level.
You must not train if you are feeling unwell or are
suffering from other illnesses. Do not train directly af-
ter meals, if you are tired or if there are other condi-
tions that could be negatively affected by training.
During training pay attention to the signals provided
by your body. Stop training if you notice the follo-
wing symptoms: pains, headache, breathing difficul-
ties, irregular heartbeat, extreme shortness of bre-
ath, a feeling of being dazed, dizziness or nausea.
Consult a doctor before continuing training.
Regular training strengthens your cardiovascular sy-
stem and helps you achieve a greater sense of well-
being.
Intense fitness training puts a strain on the whole
body. You must therefore increase the strain slowly
and make sure you give yourself enough breaks.
Start by training within a range of performance in
which you are not completely overexerting yourself.
Start with 10 to 15 minutes a day. After a few
weeks you can then extend your training. We recom-
mend the following training frequency: 3 consecuti-
ve days of training
1 day break
2 consecutive days of training
1 day break
Give yourself enough time and make absolutely sure
you include a warm-up and recovery phase.
Before starting training, it is advisable to warm up
your muscles with some stretching exercises. By do-
ing so you will reduce the risk of injuries and increa-
se the success of your endeavours. You will find the
exercises on page 9.
You should start training slowly. 10 to 15 minutes
per day with 2 days of breaks within a week (as li-
sted above). If you are an advanced user, you can
increase the training time and frequency according
to your wishes. After every training session you
should enter the cool-down phase. This means you
should once more repeat the stretching exercises
that you did before starting training. You can relieve
your muscles by shaking out your arms and legs.
Please only perform the exercises shown and descri-
bed in these instructions.
