TRAINING INSTRUCTIONS

To prevent injuries you should start with warm-up and stretching exercises before each workout.

No matter how you do sports, please do stretches first. This reduces the risk of a spasm, or muscle injury, during exercise. To warm up yourself we suggest the following stretch exercise as shown in the graphic: Do not overstretch or pull your muscles.

IF IT HURTS, STOP IT!

Side Bends
Pass the arm over your head and bend the upper body in the same direction. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds and slowly straighten up yourself. Repeat this 3 times for each side.

Toe Touch
Slowly bend forward from your waist, letting your back and shoulders relax as you stretch toward your toes, Reach down as far as you can and hold for 15 counts, then relax and repeat 3 times.

Calf-Achilles Stretch
Lean against a wall with your left leg in front of the right and your arms forward. Keep your right leg straight and the left foot on the floor, then bend the left leg and lean forward by moving your hips toward the wall. Hold, then repeat on the other side for 15 counts. Then relax and repeat 3 times for each leg.

Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach behind you and pull your right foot up. Bring your heel close to your buttocks. Hold for 10-15 counts, then relax. Repeat three times for each foot.

Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together with your knees pointing outward. Pull your feet as close into your groin as possible. Gently push your knees towards the floor. Hold for 15 counts. Then relax and repeat 3 times.

HYPEREXTENSIONS (BACK STRETCH)

TRAINING EFFECT
Hyperextensions are an optimal training method to strengthen the musculature of the lower lumbar spine area.

Start position:
During the exercise hook your feet under the foot support bracket. The seat pad supports your pelvic area. Cross your arms behind your head and keep elbows pointing outwards. Start bending forward slowly as far as possible ensuring your thigh and torso are forming almost a right angle.

Back to the starting position:
Slowly raise your torso back to the starting position where your back and your legs are forming a straight line.

During the exercise avoid arching your back past the body line (torso- backside-legs). Moreover, to avoid painful strain on your back do not swing the torso at any time. Do the exercise always in a fluid and slow manner.

SIDE BENDS ON A HYPEREXTENSION BENCH.

TRAINING EFFECT
This exercise is an optimal training method to strengthen your lateral abdominal muscles. These muscles support the sideways movement of the thorax toward the pelvis.

Start position:
Lie sideways on the bench and hook your feet under the foot support bracket. Your pelvic area is lying on the seat pad and your arms are crossed over the chest. Lower the torso towards the floor. Stop the movement when the torso is at least parallel to the floor.

Back to the starting position:
Lift your torso slowly and return to your starting position. Repeat this exercise 10-20 times, depending on the training intensity, and continue the action with the opposite side.

Make sure, that your legs and torso stay completely stable. Move your trunk only laterally to prevent stressing your lower back.

PUSH UP

TRAINING EFFECT
The push-up is a self-weight exercise that is especially used to strengthen the muscles of the shoulders, arms and chest.

Start position:
For this exercise, move the machine to the flattest position and use the grips as push-up grips. The head must be in line with the body when doing a push-up, the view is directed to the floor. Now move your body towards the floor. In order to train the chest muscles completely, the exercise must be performed with the greatest possible range of motion.

Back to the starting position:
Now move your body upwards from the ground in a controlled manner so that it slowly returns to its starting position.

To achieve a higher training intensity, avoid gaining momentum with your upper body. Also, additional weights can increase the intensity.

DIPS

TRAINING EFFECT
Dips are multi-joint exercises in strength training because the shoulder joint and elbows are involved. They are especially used to strengthen the triceps, chest and shoulders.

Start position:
For this exercise, you will start with the bar support position by resting on the grips. Angle your legs and bend your arms towards the floor. Keep your head facing slightly downwards. This keeps the cervical spine in a neutral position.

Back to the starting position:
Now move your body upwards from the ground in a controlled manner so that it slowly returns to its starting position. The elbows are pressed through at the end of the movement. This briefly removes the tension from the chest and triceps.

To achieve a higher training intensity, additional weights can increase the intensity. The max. user weight must not exceed 100kg.

EXERCISE GUIDE

PLEASE NOTE:
Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important especially if you are over the age of 45 or individuals with pre- existing health problems.

The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

Exercising is great way to control your weight, improve your fitness and reduce the effect of aging and stress. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for daily activity. This is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.

So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.

WARM UP
Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.
After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your intensity for maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.

COOL DOWN
Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
This is how your pulse should behave during general fitness exercise. Remember to warm up and cool down for a few minutes.

The most important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work, the more calories you will burn.
