Y ou must consider the f ollowing fact ors in det ermining the amount of
training eort required in order to aain tangible physical and health
benets.
The level of phy sical ex eron during tr aining must ex ceed the point
of normal ex eron, without going beyond the point of breathlessness
and/or exhauson. A suitable refer ence value can be the pulse. With
each training session, the condion increases and theref ore the trai-
ning requiremen ts should be adjust ed. This is possible by extending the
dura on of the training, increasing the level of diculty or changing
the type of training.
Most experts recommend the combinaon of a health-conscious diet,
which must be adjust ed according to the training goal, and physical
ex ercise three to ve mes a week. A normal adult needs twice a week
ex ercise to main tain its current condion. T o impr ove his condion and
change his body weight, he needs at least three training sessions per
week. Ideal of cour se is a frequency of ve tr aining sessions per week.
Each training session should consist of three training phases: „ warm-
up phase“ , „training phase“ and „cool-down phase“ . In the „ warm-up
phase“ the body tempera ture and the oxy gen supply should be increa-
sed slowly . This is possible through gymnasc ex ercises over a period
of ve to t en minutes. Aer tha t you start with actual tr aining “tr aining
phase” . The training load should be adapted according to the training
heart rate. In order to support the circulaon aer the training phase
and to pr event aching or str ained muscles la ter , it is necessary to f ollow
the training phase with a cool-down phase. This should be consist of
stre tching ex ercises and/ or light gymnasc exer cises for a period of
ve to t en minutes.
T o determine the training heart rate, you can proceed as follow s.
Please note that these are guide values. If you have health problems or
are unsure, c onsult a doctor or tness trainer .

Once you ha ve idened g oals, you can s tart tr aining. Most of our pr o-
ducts have heart r ate sensor s or are heart ra te belt compable. So you
can check your heart rat e on the monitor during the work outs. If the
pulse ra te is not shown on the computer display or you want to be on
the saf e side and want to check your pulse rat e, which could be incor-
rectly displayed due to possible applicaon error s or similar , you can
use the following t ools:
Pulse measurement in the c onven onal wa y (sensing the pulse bea t,
e.g. on the wrist and counng the beats within a minut e).
Heart ra te measurement with suitable and calibr at ed heart rat e
measuring devices (av ailable from medical supply s tores).
Heart rat e measurement with other pr oducts such as heart ra te mo-
nitors, smartphones....
The maximum pulse value c an be determined in many di erent
wa ys, since the maximum pulse depends on many f actor s. Y ou can
use the main-f ormula for the calcula on (maximum heart ra te = 220
