Training instructions
You must consider the following factors in determining the amount of training
effort required in order to attain tangible physical and health benefits:
1. Intensity:
The level of physical exertion in training must exceed the level of normal
exertion without reaching the point of breathlessness and / or exhaustion.
A suitable guideline for effective training can be taken from the pulse rate.
During training this should rise to the region of between 70% to 85% of
the maximum pulse rate (see the table and formular for determination and
calculation of this).
During the first weeks, the pulse rate should remain at the lower end of this
region, at around 70% of the maximum pulse rate. In the course of the follo-
wing weeks and months, the pulse rate should be slowly raised to the upper
limit of 85% of the maximum pulse rate. The better the physical condition
of the person doing the exercise, the more the level of training should be
encreased to remain in the region of between 70% to 85% of the maximum
pulse rate. This should be done by lengthening the time for the training and
/ or encreasing the level of difficulty.
If the pulse rate is not shown on the computer display or if for safety reasons
you wish to check your pulse rate, which could have been displayed wrongly
due to error in use, etc., you can do the following:
a. Pulse rate measurement in the conventional way (feeling the pulse at the
wrist, for example, and counting the number of beats in one minute).
b. Pulse rate measurement with a suitable specialised device (available from
dealers specialising in health-related equipment).
2.Frequency
Most experts recommend a combination of health-conscious nutrition, which
must be determined on the basis of your training goal, and physical training
three times a week. A normal adult must train twice a week to maintain his
current level of condition. At least three training sessions a week are required
to improve one's condition and reduce one's weight. Of course the ideal
frequency of training is five sessions a week.
3. Planning the training
Each training session should consist of 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 five to ten minutes.
Then the actual training (training phase) should begin. The training exertion
should be relatively low for the first few minutes and then raised over a period
of 15 to 30 minutes such that the pulse rate reaches the region of between
70% to 85% of the maximum pulse rate.
In order to support the circulation after the training phase and to prevent
aching or strained muscles later, it is necessary to follow the training phase
with a cool-down phase. This should be consist of stretching exercises and
/ or light gymnastic exercises for a period of five to ten minutes.

cises or general gymnastics exercises in our download area under www.

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

4. Motivation
The key to a successful program is regular training. You should set a fixed
time and place for each day of training and prepare yourself mentally for the
training. Only train when you are in the mood for 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.
Calculation formula: Maximum pulse rate
90% of the maximum pulse rate
85% of the maximum pulse rate
70% of the maximum pulse rate
Sit down with one leg
stretched out on the floor
and bend forward and try
to reach the foot with your
hands. 2 x 20sec.
=
220 - age
(220 minus your age)
=
(220 - age) x 0.9
=
(220 - age) x 0.85
=
(220 - age) x 0.7
Kneel in a wide lunge for-
ward and support yourself
with your hands on the
floor. Press the pelvis down.
Change after 20 sec leg.
