Training notes

The following exercises only represent a selec-
tion. You can find further exercises in the relevant
literature.
• Warm up well before each training session.
• Do not train if you feel ill or unwell.
• When starting training, get instruction on the
correct execution of the exercises from an
experienced physiotherapist if possible.
• Only exercise as long as you feel well and/
or you are able to carry out the exercises
correctly.
• Wear comfortable sports clothing and trainers.
• Determine the frequency and intensity of the
exercises yourself. Start slowly 2 to 3 times a
week for 10 minutes at a time, and increase
the frequency and the exercise intensity gra-
dually. The more frequently and regularly you
carry out the exercises, the fitter and better
you will feel.
Caution! Avoid training too
intensely!
• When you first begin training, 2-3 minutes are
sufficient per exercise. If you train every day
the duration can be increased to 5-10 minutes
after approximately one week. The maximum
training time should, however, not exceed
1 hour.
• Take sufficient breaks between exercises and
drink sufficient fluids.
Caution!
Cease exercising immediately if you ex-
perience discomfort or feel unwell and
consult your doctor.
