DESIGNING A TRAINING PROGRAM
In order to achieve noticeable physical and health improvements, the following factors
have to be considered before determining the necessary training effort.
1. INTENSITY
The level of physical strain during training must exceed the normal burden without
reaching a point of breathlessness or exhaustion. A suitable guideline for effective
training is your pulse. During training, it should be at a level between 70% and 85% of
your maximum pulse.
During the first week, your pulse during training should remain in the lower 70% of
your maximum pulse. Over the course of the following weeks and months, your pulse
frequency should slowly increase to the upper level of 85% of your maximum pulse.
The better your physical condition becomes, the more your training efforts should be
increased. This can be achieved by increasing the training duration and/or increasing
the difficulty level. If you would like to measure and monitor your pulse frequency
manually in addition to the measurements carried out by the training computer on the
home trainer, you can use the following methods:
a) Pulse control measurement in the usual manner (e.g. feeling your pulse on your
wrist and counting the beats within one minute).
b) Pulse control measurement using suitable and calibrated pulse meters (available in
pharmacies/drugstores).
WARNING!
The pulse rate monitoring system may be inaccurate. Over-exercise may result
in serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.
