Y ou must consider the following f actors in de termining the amount of
training eort required in order to a ain tangible physical and health
benets.
The level of physical ex eron during training must ex ceed the point
of normal ex eron, without going beyond the point of breathlessness
and/or exhaus on. A suitable refer ence value can be the pulse. With
each training session, the condion increases and theref ore the trai-
ning requirements should be adjusted. 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 adjusted according to the training goal, and physical
ex ercise three t o ve mes a week. A normal adult needs twice a week
ex ercise to maintain its current condion. T o improv e his c ondion 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. A er that you s tart with actual training “training
phase” . The training load should be adapted according to the training
heart rate. In order to support the circula on aer the training phase
and to pr event aching or str ained muscles later , it is necessary to follow
the training phase with a cool-do wn 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 rat e, you can proceed as follows.
Please note that these are guide values. If you ha ve health problems or
are unsure, c onsult a doctor or tness trainer .

Once you ha ve idened goals, you can st art training. Mos t of our pro-
ducts have heart r ate sensor s or are heart rat e belt compable. So you
can check your heart rat e on the monitor during the workouts. 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 rate, which could be incor-
rectly displayed due to possible applicaon errors or similar , you can
use the following t ools:
Pulse measurement in the con venonal wa y (sensing the pulse beat,
e.g. on the wrist and counng the beats within a minut e).
Heart ra te measurement with suit able and calibra ted heart ra te
measuring devices (av ailable from medical supply s tores).
Heart rat e measurement with other pr oducts such as heart rat e 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 actors. Y ou can
use the main-f ormula for the calculaon (ma ximum heart rat e = 220
- age). This formula is v ery general. It is used in man y home sport
products to de termine the maximum heart r ate. W e recommend
