sockets (Fig.3). Then attach the handle tube (Fig. 4) by screwing the connection sockets tightly to
the framework (Fig.5).
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL TRAINING PRINCIPLES
1. Warming up: Warm up before every training session. Marking time or running on the spot,
stretching and light stretching exercises are outstandingly suitable for warming up.
2. Breathing: Correct breathing plays an important part in training. Breathe calmly and uni-
formly. Never hold your breath during training.
All images are examples of the design.
3. Clothing and location: Wear comfortable sportswear for training and ensure you have
sufficiently space (at least 1 m clearance) around yourself for the implementation of the
exercises. Always wear trainer shoesand never train with bare feet, sandals, stockings or
hose.
4. Training tactics: Do not overtax yourself and always adapt the exercises and their scope to
your condition. Start with just a few crunches and gradually increase the workout intensity
from week to week, by increasing the number of repetitions and number of sets. Allow a mi-
nimum of one day between two training sessions. Basically you should seek the advice of a
doctor before beginning an exercise program.
5. Cooling off: Cool off after training with light bending exercises or stretching. In this way, the
pulserate can slowly decrease and the body regenerates faster for the next case where it
experiences any loading, since the metabolism waste (lactates) can be worked off better by
follow-up movement.
6. Increasing difficulty: When you are good enough with the training so that you can manage
to continue the training exercises for a long time, increase the difficulty of the exercises.
7. Health: Break off the exercise program immediately if you feel any cramp in the muscles
during the exercises or also if general pains occur. Contact a doctor for your own security.
HANDLING
Make sure that you can safely and loosely place the head on the pillow of the device and thus
relax your neck. Always use the exercise machine with both hands. Always keep a fist width dis-
tance between chin and chest during the exercises. Make the training time dependent on your
performance capabilities and do not overtax yourself. WARNING: Basically you should consult your
doctor before beginning any training program.
EXERCISE PROPOSALS
Important information before each exercise
Before carrying out each exercise you should ensure you have sufficient space in your exercise
area so that you won't catch in anything or injure yourself. Recommended exercise area: 2 m in
length, 1.5 m in width.
Training program
The exercises listed here are used for the strengthening of the upper and lower abdomen muscles
and the back muscles, as well as the thigh muscles.
Exercise 1: Crunch exercise (Fig. 6)
Pull in your legs at a 90° angle and pull in both feet parallel to each other. Place both hands loose-
ly on the hand rail of the upper section in order to stabilize the exercise. Slowly lift your upper body
up little from the floor (see illustration) and breathe out while doing this. Breathe in again while
lowering the upper body. (Repeat these exercises 15-20 times in sequence, with a series of 3 in
each case) As an alternative, you can carry out this exercise again with legs crossed.
Exercise 2: Crunch with heels on the floor (Fig. 7)
Pull in your legs at a 90° angle and place your feet parallel to each other with the heels on the floor.
Slowly lift your upper body off the floor again (breathe out) and then lower it again (breathe in).
(Repeat these exercises 15-20 times in sequence, with a series of 3 in each case).
Exercise 3: Trunk bend for traning the side abdomen muscels (Fig. 8)
Bend your knees parallel to each other so that your feet are placed flat on the floor. Rotate your hip
sideways to the left and place your legs bent onto the floor. Lift your upper body while breathing
out. Do the same on the right-hand side and repeat this procedure as desired. You can also simul-
taneously train the abdomen and leg muscles, where you bend your knees and position your feet
crossed with the heels on the floor. Now simultaneously lift your upper body and your legs (see
illustration) and hold this position for approx. 2 seconds, before you return again to the start posi-
tion. You yourself should determine how often you carry out these exercises. However, you should
begin with a few exercises and increase your training with time.
