IMPORTANT FITNESS TRAINING INFORMATION
Before you start any fitness training programme that involves major physical stress you should consult your doctor. People with a physical impediment, or after
a long illness, or those who have an increased risk factor like high blood pressure, heart problems or excess weight, should check with the doctor before
starting a training programme. The exercises shown are suggestions specially coordinated by the sports specialist Dr. Christian Mahringer, Gmunden, Austria
and should be independently supplemented by your doctor.
Use this multi-fitness equipment only to work out in the positions recommended in the exercise instructions or by your doctor. If you give this equipment to
someone else or allow any other person use it, make sure that he or she is familiar with the contents of these instructions.
To prevent injuries and/or accidents, please read and carefully follow these simple rules:
The expanders (elastic bands (7)) are fitted with rubber stoppers to cushion the grips if they are unintentionally let go (5)!
To protect the equipment, never let the expanders bang heavily onto the supports (5)! The stretching length of the expanders is limited to a
maximum of 1.40 m
(4’ 7 1/8”)
. (See table of forces below!) Avoid overstretching! You should only use it when the grip end cap (9) is closed and
screwed tight!
The band sling (14) for foot training should be fastened to the bottom grips with a strap (cow hitch) (see Fig. 7-10). For safety reasons, this
strap should be removed when the equipment is not being used!
The training equipment is not suitable as a toy and must not be accessible to small children.
To prevent injuries small children should be kept out of the vicinity of the equipment during the workout.
The equipment is designed to be used exclusively by physically and mentally fit adults or young people.
You should ensure that every user is familiar with the operation and handling of the equipment or uses it only under supervision.
Parents and other supervisors should be aware of their responsibility, as the play instinct of children and their eagerness to experiment can
lead to situations and behaviour for which the training equipment is not designed. Make sure that children know that the equipment is not a
toy!
Keep any packaging out of the reach of children to avoid the risk of suffocation!
During training, wear clothes which are comfortable but not too loose, to avoid getting caught. Always use the proper footwear with anti-slip
soles, such as trainers; never train barefoot.
Make sure you have enough room to move when using your training equipment. Always train at a sufficient distance from other people.
If you feel dizzy, ill, chest pains or other abnormal symptoms, stop training immediately.
Replace faulty parts immediately and do not use the equipment until it is repaired.
To get the most out of your training and to avoid injuries, always include in your training a warm-up before starting and a relaxation phase
when you finish.
Do not start exercising right after eating. Wait at least 30 minutes before you start.
Do not train if you feel unwell, if you are sick or tired or if other factors prevent you from concentrating on training.
Start your exercises off slowly. Avoid sudden, abrupt movements. Breathe calmly and evenly during the exercises.
Keep focused when you are doing the exercises. Do not let yourself be distracted while doing
exercises.
Do not take on too much. Do an exercise only as long as your physical fitness can cope with it.
Not suitable for therapeutic training!
