• Protect the article from high temperatures and
moisture.
• Please check the height adapters regularly as
these components are most susceptible to
wear.
Assembly
You can perform the exercises at two degrees of
difficulty.
Add the attachment to the underside of the arti-
cle in order to increase difficulty (figure A).
Training notes
The following exercises only represent a selec-
tion. You can find further exercises in the relevant
specialist literature.
• Warm up well before each training session.
• Do not train if you feel sick or unwell.
• If possible you should ask an experienced
physiotherapist to show you the correct exe-
cution of the exercises when you first carry
them out.
• Only carry out the exercises for as long as
you feel well and for as long as you are able
to carry out the exercises correctly.
• Wear comfortable sport clothing and training
shoes.
• Determine the frequency and intensity of the
exercises yourself. Start slowly 2-3 times a
week for 10 minutes per session and increase
the frequency and exercise intensity gradually.
The more frequently and regularly you carry
out the exercises the fitter you will get and the
better you will feel.
Caution! Avoid training too
intensely!
• 2-3 minutes per exercise are sufficient when
you begin training. If you train daily then you
can increase the duration to 5-10 minutes after
approximately one week. However, the maxi-
mum training time should not exceed 1 hour.
• Take adequate breaks between the exercises
and drink enough fluids.
Caution!
If you experience discomfort or feel
unwell stop the exercises immediately
and contact your doctor.
