Training Recommendations

Preparation Before Training

• Before you start training make sure that not only your training device is in perfect condition, your body must also be pre-pared for training. Therefore, if you have not done any endurance training for some time, you should consult your GP and undergo a fitness check-up. Also discuss your training target; they will certainly be able to give you valuable advice and information. This applies to people who are over 35, have problems with overweight, heart or circulatory system problems.

Training Plan

• Essential to effective, target orientated, and motivating training is to have a forward-looking trainings plan. Plan your fitness training as an integral part of your daily routine. If you don’t have a fixed plan, training can easily interfere with regular commitments or continually be put off to another unspecified time.
• If possible, create a long term monthly plan and not just from day to day or week to week. A training plan should also include sufficient motivation and distraction during training sessions. An ideal distraction is to watch TV during training as this diverts your attention both visually and acoustically. Make sure that you reward yourself and set realistic targets such as to losing 1 or 2kgs in four weeks or to increase your training time by 10 minutes within two weeks for example. If you reach your targets, then reward yourself with a favourite meal which you have not allowed yourself till then.

Warm-Up Before Training

• Warm-up on your training device for 3-5 minutes at minimum resistance. This will best prepare your body for the up-coming exertion in training.

Cool-Down After Training

• Do not just get off your training device immediately the training session is finished. Like with the warm-up stage you should continue for 3-5 minutes at minimum resistance to cool down. After training you should stretch your muscles thoroughly.

Front Thigh Muscles

• Support yourself with your right hand against the wall or on your training device. Bend your knee and raise your left foot backwards so you can hold it with your left hand. Your knee should be pointing straight down to the floor. Pull your leg backwards until you feel a light pulling in your thigh muscles. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Let your foot go and stand it back on the floor. Repeat the exercise with your right leg.

Inner Thigh Muscles

• Sit on the floor. Pull the soles of your feet together in front of you raising your knees slightly. Grasp the upper sides of your feet and place your elbows on your thighs. Press your thighs down towards the floor with your arms until you feel a light pulling in your thigh muscles. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Make sure to keep your upper body straight throughout the exercise. Release the pressure from your thighs and slowly stretch out your legs to the front. Stand up slowly steadily.

Legs, Calves and Buttocks

• Sit on the floor. Stretch out your right leg and bend your left leg to place the sole of your foot on your right thigh. Bend your top body over so you can stretch out your right hand to touch your right toes. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Let go of your toes and sit slowly and steadily up straight again. Repeat this exercise with your left leg.

Leg and Lower Back Muscles

• Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out. Stretch forward with your hands and try to grasp the tips of your toes with both hands. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Let go of your toes and slowly and steadily sit back up straight again.

Intake of Liquids

• The intake of sufficient liquids before and during training is vital. During a 60-minute training session it is possible to lose up to 0.5 litres of liquid. To compensate for this loss, you can drink a mix of one third apple juice to two thirds water to replace all electrolytes and min-erals which your body loses through sweat. 30 minutes before you begin training you should drink approx. 330 ml. Make sure that you take in enough liquids during training.

Training Frequency

• Experts recommend doing weight training 3 to 4 days a week. You will of course reach your training target quicker if you train more regularly.
• Make sure that you allow for sufficient breaks in your training plan to give your body time to recover and regenerate. After each training session you should take at least a one-day break. The rule of “less is often more” even applies to fitness and weight training

Trainings Records

• To optimise your training and make it as effective as possible you should work out a training plan, before you start training, which you either write down or create a table for in your computer. Here you should make a record of training session and how you feel during the training session.
• Here is a recommende weekly plan.
