your training targets as effectively, safely and lastingly as possible.
4.1 General training instructions

ATTENTION
+ If you are older than 35 years and have not trained for several years, consult your physician
and they will recommend an assessment test. Your physician can support you in determining
the target heart rate zone corresponding to your age and fitness level as well.
You should also consult your physician in the event of:
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol values
– Asthma
– Heart problems
- (Death through) strokes or heart attacks in your family history
- Frequent cases of dizziness
- Extreme breathing problems after slight strain
- Arthritis or other bone problems
- Serious muscle/ligament/or tendon problems
- Other known or presumed illnesses
- If you feel pain or tension in the breast, feel an irregular heart beat or are short of breath, stop
training immediately. Consult your physician before you continue.
- Pregnancy
- Balance impairments
- Taking medicine that affects your heart rate.
Warm-up
We recommend starting every training session by warming up in order to prevent injuries and to
maximize performance. Your warm-up phase prepares your muscles softly for the load. Begin with
five to 10 minutes of soft exercises (e. g., walking) that gradually increase your heart rate and loosen
up your muscles. The warm-up phase should be aerobic and require a slight, unconstrained range
of movement. This should be followed by five to 10 minutes of stretching (see page 38 in these
instructions or in the included training instructions). Never bring your body beyond the point of soft
tension or strain. Make sure to have soft, rhythmic, controlled movements.
