Instruction manual
For fat loss and increase in endurance, a workout with
about 40% to 60% of the maximum load and a higher
number of reps (for example 20 - 25) makes sense.
Muscle mass and maximal strength are best exercised
by a training with very heavy weights and low reps (for
example, 6 - 10), though.
As with any training the regularity is important. How-
ever, the muscles addressed in the exercises need a
day's rest between workouts, so that, ideally, two or
three times a week should be trained.
Each of the exercises shown below should be per-
formed with one to three sets (each set with 6 - 25
repetitions). Work initially depending on the training
goal with twelve to 15 repetitions or 20 – 25. After a
few weeks you may – again depending on your fitness
goal – increase the weight and / or adjust the number
of repetitions.
Keep a sufficient body tension at any time during the
training. Lift your chest and pull in the abdomen, tight-
en your buttocks to keep your back straight, bend your
knees slightly and keep your wrists straight. Work out
slowly and evenly and breathe consciously.
(A) Biceps
Stand as shown with your feet about shoulder width
apart and your back straight with tight core muscles.
Hold a dumbbell in each hand as shown. Lift up a
dumbbell while you let the other down in the same
course. The weight should be held in parallel with your
body at the beginning of the exercise, that is, with
palms facing inward. During the lifting it is rotated so
that the palm facing upward at the end. During the
lowering phase it is the other way around. During the
training phase, the elbow should be kept close to the
body so that the biceps will be trained in isolation.
(B) Triceps
Take a step position as shown and bend your upper
body with a sturdy trunk forward. Hold yourself with
one arm on the front knee and take the dumbbell in the
other hand. Lift the elbow with your arm bent up at
torso height. Straighten your arm then backwards and
upwards and then let the weight back down. During the
training phase, the elbow should be kept close to the
body so that the triceps is trained in isolation.
(C) Chest - Covers
Lie as shown with the upper back on a flat bench
(make sure that this is stable) and rest the shoulders
