Training Instructions
GB
With increasing improvement of fitness, the training
intensity should be increased to 70% - 85% of your
maximum pulse rate.
To achieve a considerable improvement of your
physical resistance and your health, some aspects of
how to find the most efficient amount of training should
be followed: Increasing the resistance, a higher frequency or longer
training periods can do this.
If you have not been physically active for a longer period
of time and also to avoid health risks, you shouldconsult
your general physician before starting to exercise.
Training Organization
Warm-up:
Intensity Before every your training, you should warm-up for 5-10
minutes.
To achieve maximum results, the right intensity has to
be chosen.
The heart rate is used as guideline. Training session:
As a rule of thumb the following formula is commonly
used: During the actual training, a rate of 70% -85% of the
maximum pulse rate should be chosen.
Maximum pulse rate = 220 - Age The time-length of your training session can be
calculated with the following rule of thumb:
While exercising, the pulse rate should always be
between 60% - 85% of the maximum pulse rate.
For your personal training rates, please see the
attached pulse rate chart on page 18. •daily training session: approx. 10 min. per unit
•2-3 x per week: approx. 30 min. per unit
•1-2 x per week: approx. 60 min. per unit
When starting to exercise, you should keep your rate at
60% of your maximum pulse rate in the first couple of
weeks.
Cool down:
To introduce an effective cool-down of muscles and
metabolism, the intensity should be drastically
decreased during the last 5 – 10 minutes.
With increasing improvement of fitness, the pulse rate
should be slowly increased to 85% of your maximum
pulse rate. Stretching is also helpful for the prevention of muscle
aches.
Fat burning
Success
The body starts to burn fat at approx. 60% of the
maximum pulse rate. Even after a short period of regular exercises, you will
notice that you constantly have to increase the
resistance to reach your optimum pulse rate.
To reach an optimum at burning rate, it is advisable to
keep the pulse rate between 60% – 70% of the
maximum pulse rate. The units will be continuously easier and you will feel a
lot fitter during your normal day.
The optimum training amount consists of three workouts
per week 30 minutes each.
For this achievement, you should motivate yourself to
exercise regularly.
Example: Choose fixed hours for your training session and do not
start training too aggressively.
You are 52 years of age and would like to start
exercising.
Maximum pulse rate = 220 - 52(age) = 168 pulse/min An old quote amongst sportsmen says:
Minimum pulse rate = 168 x 0.6 = 101 pulse/min “The most difficult thing about training is to start it.”
Highest pulse rate = 168 x 0.7 = 117 pulse/min
Wish you have a lot of fun and success with your trainer,
During the first week, it is advisable to start with a pulse
rate of 101. Afterwards, increase it to 117.
