7. TRAINING
TRAINING TIPS
All recommendations in this manual are only intended for healthy persons and not
for persons with heart/cardiovascular problems! All tips are intended only as rough
suggestions for a training program. If necessary, consult your physician for tips that meet
your personal requirements.
The following pages will explain exactly how to operate your new training device and will
illustrate the fundamentals of fitness training. In order to reach your desired training goal,
it is imperative to inform yourself about important points for creating a training program
in general and about the exact way to operate your home trainer using this manual as a
guide. Therefore, please thoroughly read all of the points listed here and pay them close
attention.
DESIGNING A TRAINING PROGRAM
In order to achieve noticeable physical and health improvements, the following factors
have to be considered before determining the necessary training effort.
1. INTENSITY
The level of physical strain during training must exceed the normal burden without
reaching a point of breathlessness or exhaustion. A suitable guideline for effective training
is your pulse. During training, it should be at a level between 70% and 85% of your
maximum pulse (for determination and calculation thereof, see 11. PULSE MEASURING
TABLE). During the first week, your pulse during training should remain in the lower 70%
of your maximum pulse. Over the course of the following weeks and months, your pulse
frequency should slowly increase to the upper level of 85% of your maximum pulse.
The better your physical condition becomes, the more your training efforts should be
increased. This can be achieved by increasing the training duration and/or increasing the
difficulty level. You can apply the following methods to measure your pulse:
a) Pulse control measurement in the usual manner (e.g. feeling your pulse on your wrist
and counting the beats within one minute).
b) Pulse control measurement using suitable and calibrated pulse measurement devices
(available in a medical supplies store).
WARNING!
The pulse rate monitoring system may be inaccurate. Over-exercise may result
in serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.

11
ENGLISH
2. FREQUENCY
Most experts recommend a combination of health-conscious nutrition, which must be
adapted according to the training goal, and physical exercise three to five times per week.
A normal adult should train twice per week to retain his/her current level of fitness. In order
to improve his/her condition and to change body weight, a person requires minimum 3
training sessions per week.
3. TRAINING PHASES
Each training should comprise the following three parts:
• “Warm-up phase”
• “Training phase”
• “Cool-down phase”
In the “warm-up phase”, your body temperature and oxygen intake should slowly increase.
This can be achieved with gymnastic exercise or stretches lasting from 5 to 10 minutes.
After the warm-up, the real training should begin (“training phase”). Training intensity
should be low for the first few minutes and should then increase to the appropriate training
intensity for a period of 15 to 30 minutes. To ease circulation after the training phase
and to prevent muscle cramps or pulled muscles, a “cool-down phase” should follow the
“training phase”. During this phase, which should be approx. 5 to 10 minutes long, carry
out stretching exercises and/or light gymnastic exercises lasting 30 seconds each.
4. MOTIVATION
The key to a successful training program is regularity. You should set a firm time and
place for each training day and also prepare yourself mentally for your training session.
Only exercise when you are in a good mood and always focus on your goal. With regular
training, you will notice daily improvements and can see yourself nearing your personal
training goals.

12
TRAINING EXERCISES
STARTING POSITION
Grasp the handlebar (19) with both
hands. Rest your elbows and knees on
the corresponding foam pads (13, 10).
Your body posture should be straight.
LIFT YOUR BODY
Now use your hands to lift your entire
body weight upward, similar to a pull-up.
Your legs will slide upward on the skid
during this exercise.
END POSITION
Pull your legs up as far as possible. Your
knees should almost touch your chest.
BACK TO STARTING POSITION
Now slowly and evenly lower your body
until you reach the starting position. You
have now completed the entire training
exercise.

8. MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND CARE
• After assembly and before using your home trainer, always make sure that all bolts/
nuts are fully and correctly tightened.
• The safety level of the product can be maintained only when it is regularly checked
for damage and wear. Please pay special attention to welded seams at joints and to
all moving and adjustable components.
• Clean the unit regularly with a slightly damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent.
• This is especially important for the seat and the handles, as these parts are in
