TRAINING INFORMATION
Training preparations
Before you start training, not only must the training equipment be in perfect condition, but you or your
body should also be ready for training. Therefore, if you have not done any strength/endurance training
for a long time, you should always consult your family doctor before starting your training and carry out a
fitness check-up. Please also discuss your training goals with your doctor; he or she can certainly give
you valuable tips and information. In particular, this applies to people over 35 years of age, people who
are overweight and/or have problems with the cardiovascular system.
Workout planning
The be-all and end-all for effective, goal-oriented, but also motivating training is planning your workouts.
Therefore, plan your fitness training into your normal daily routine as a fixed component. Unplanned
training can quickly become a disruptive factor, or be postponed indefinitely for another task. Plan your
workout for the long term, for months at a time, and not just from day to day or week to week. Training
planning also includes providing sufficient motivation during the workout. Music is ideal for this. Also
provide training rewards. Set realistic goals, such as losing 1 kg in four weeks, increasing your training
weight by 10 kg in six weeks, or similar. When your goals are achieved, reward yourself!
Training frequency
Experts recommend doing endurance/strength training 3 to 4 days a week. Certainly, the more often you
train, the faster you will reach your training goal. However, when planning your workout, make sure to
take sufficient breaks from training to give your body enough time to recover and regenerate. You should-
take at least one day off after each training session.
