Training notes
The following exercises only represent a selection.
You can find further exercises in the relevant
literature.
Warm up well before each training session.
Do not train if you feel ill or unwell.
When starting training, get instruction on
the correct execution of the exercises from
an experienced physiotherapist if possible.
Only exercise as long as you feel well and/
or you are able to carry out the exercises
correctly.
Wear comfortable sports clothing and
trainers.
Determine the frequency and intensity of
the exercises yourself. Start slowly 2 to 3
times a week for 10 minutes at a time, and
increase the frequency and the exercise
intensity gradually. The more frequently
and regularly you carry out the exercises,
the fitter and better you will feel.
CAUTION!
Avoid training too intensely!
When you first begin training, 2-3 minutes
are sufficient per exercise. If you train every
day the duration can be increased to 5-10
minutes after approximately one week. The
maximum training time should, however, not
exceed 1 hour.
Take sufficient breaks between exercises
and drink sufficient fluids.
CAUTION!
Cease exercising immediately if you
experience discomfort or feel unwell
and consult your doctor.
