General fitness tips
Start your exercise programme slowly, i.e. one exercise unit every 2 days. Increase your exercise
session week by week. Begin with short periods per exercise and then increase these continually.
Start slowly with the exercise sessions and don’t set yourself impossible targets. In addition to
these exercises, do other forms of exercise such as jogging, swimming, dancing and/or cycling.
Always warm up thoroughly before exercising. To do so, carry out at least five minutes of
stretching or gymnastic exercises to avoid muscle strains and injuries.
Check your pulse regularly. If you do not have a pulse measuring instrument, ask your
GP how you can measure your heart rate effectively. Determine your personal exercise
frequency range to achieve optimal training success. Take into account both your age
and your level of fitness. The table on page 16 will give you a reference point for
determining the optimal exercise pulse.
Make sure you breathe regularly and calmly when exercising.
Take care to drink enough while exercising. This ensures that the liquid requirement of
your body is satisfied. Consider that the recommended drinking amount of 2-3 litres per
day is strongly increased through physical strain. The fluid you drink should be at room
temperature.
When exercising on the device always wear light and comfortable clothing as well as
sports shoes. Do not wear any loose clothing that could tear or become caught in the
device whilst exercising.
