Training instructions
You must consider the ollowing actors in determining the amount o training
eort required in order to attain tangible physical and health benefts:
1. Intensity:
The level o physical exertion in training must exceed the level o normal
exertion without reaching the point o breathlessness and / or exhaustion.
A suitable guideline or eective training can be taken rom the pulse rate.
During training this should rise to the region o between 70% to 85% o
the maximum pulse rate (see the table and ormular or determination and
calculation o this).
During the frst weeks, the pulse rate should remain at the lower end o this
region, at around 70% o the maximum pulse rate. In the course o the ollo-
wing weeks and months, the pulse rate should be slowly raised to the upper
limit o 85% o the maximum pulse rate. The better the physical condition
o the person doing the exercise, the more the level o training should be
encreased to remain in the region o between 70% to 85% o the maximum
pulse rate. This should be done by lengthening the time or the training and
/ or encreasing the level o difculty.
I the pulse rate is not shown on the computer display or i or saety reasons
you wish to check your pulse rate, which could have been displayed wrongly
due to error in use, etc., you can do the ollowing:
a. Pulse rate measurement in the conventional way (eeling the pulse at the
wrist, or example, and counting the number o beats in one minute).
b. Pulse rate measurement with a suitable specialised device (available rom
dealers specialising in health-related equipment).
2.Frequency
Most experts recommend a combination o health-conscious nutrition, which
must be determined on the basis o your training goal, and physical training
three times a week. A normal adult must train twice a week to maintain his
current level o condition. At least three training sessions a week are required
to improve one's condition and reduce one's weight. O course the ideal
requency o training is fve sessions a week.
3. Planning the training
Each training session should consist o three phases: the warm-up phase,
the training phase, and the cool-down phase. The body temperature and
oxygen intake should be raised slowly in the warm-up phase. This can be
done with gymnastic exercises lasting fve to ten minutes.
Then the actual training (training phase) should begin. The training exertion
should be relatively low or the frst ew minutes and then raised over a period
o 15 to 30 minutes such that the pulse rate reaches the region o between
70% to 85% o the maximum pulse rate.
In order to support the circulation ater the training phase and to prevent
aching or strained muscles later, it is necessary to ollow the training phase
with a cool-down phase. This should be consist o stretching exercises and
/ or light gymnastic exercises or a period o fve to ten minutes.

Start your warm up by walking on the spot or at least 3 minutes and then perorm the ollowing gymnastic exercises to the body or the training phase to
prepare accordingly. The exercises do not overdo it and only as ar run until a slight drag elt. This position will hold a while.
Reach with your let hand
behind your head to the right
shoulder and pull with the
right hand slightly to the let
elbow. Ater 20sec. switch
arm.
Ater the warm-up exercises by some arms and legs shake loose.
Don't nish the exercise phase abruptly, but will cycle leisurely something without resistance rom to return to the normal pulse-zone. (Cool down) We re-
commend the warm-up exercises at the end o the training be conducted and to end your workout with shaking o the extremities.
Warm up exercises (Warm Up)
Bend orward as ar orward
as possible and let your
legs almost stretched. Show
it with your ngers in the
direction o toe. 2 x 20sec.

4. Motivation
The key to a successul program is regular training. You should set a fxed
time and place or each day o training and prepare yoursel mentally or the
training. Only train when you are in the mood or it and always have your goal
in view. With continuous training you will be able to see how you are progres-
sing day by day and are approaching your personal training goal bit by bit.
