Important notes on training
Please consult your physician before beginning training. Ask your physician about the extent
of training appropriate for you. Improper or excessive training may result in damage to health.
Do not overstrain your own body. Do not train when you are tired or exhausted. If you are
unaccustomed to physical activity, begin slowly.
Overstraining your body or training with poor posture harms your health,
Cease training immediately if you feel any pain or discomfort.
Do not eat anything for a half hour before and after training.
Breathe evenly and calmly during training.
To prevent injury, begin each training session with warm-up exercises and end with a cool-down
phase. You can use the exercises described in this manual. You can also find more exercises in
relevant literature.
Be sure to drink enough fluids during training. Please note that it the recommended fluid intake
of approx. 2 litres daily increases through physical strain. The fluids you drink should be at room
temperature.
Use the product only wearing sports wear and appropriate shoes with nonslip soles. Do not wear
loose clothing that could catch on the unit during training.
Warm-up exercises / Stretching / Cool-down
A successful training session begins with warm-up exercises and ends with a cool-down phase.
The warm-up exercises prepare your body for the subsequent strain of training. The cool-down
phase after training helps avoid aching or stiff muscles. Below are instructions on stretching
exercises for the warm-up and cool-down phases. Please heed the following:
Carefully warm up, for about 5 to 10 minutes, each group of muscles you plan to work in your
subsequent training session. You are doing each stretching exercise correctly when you feel
pleasant tension in the muscle you are stretching.
Speed is not a factor in stretching exercises. Avoid making quick, jerky movements while stretching.
