Training instructions
You must consider the following factors in determining the amount of training
effort required in order to attain tangible physical and health benefits:
1. Intensity:
The level of physical exertion in training must exceed the level of normal
exertion without reaching the point of breathlessness and / or exhaustion.
A suitable guideline for effective training can be taken from the pulse rate.
During training this should rise to the region of between 70% to 85% of the
maximum pulse rate (see the table and formular for determination and
calculation of this).
During the first weeks, the pulse rate should remain at the lower end of this
region, at around 70% of the maximum pulse rate. In the course of the
following weeks and months, the pulse rate should be slowly raised to the
upper limit of 85% of the maximum pulse rate. The better the physical
condition of the person doing the exercise, the more the level of training
should be encreased to remain in the region of between 70% to 85% of
the maximum pulse rate. This should be done by lengthening the time for
the training and / or encreasing the level of difficulty.
If the pulse rate is not shown on the computer display or if for safety
reasons you wish to check your pulse rate, which could have been
displayed wrongly due to error in use, etc., you can do the following:
a. Pulse rate measurement in the conventional way (feeling the pulse at the
wrist, for example, and counting the number of beats in one minute).
b. Pulse rate measurement with a suitable specialised device (available
from dealers specialising in health-related equipment).
2.Frequency
Most experts recommend a combination of health-conscious nutrition,
which must be determined on the basis of your training goal, and physical
training three times a week. A normal adult must train twice a week to
maintain his current level of condition. At least three training sessions a
week are required to improve one’s condition and reduce one’s weight. Of
course the ideal frequency of training is five sessions a week.
3. Planning the training
Each training session should consist of three phases: the warm-up phase,
the training phase, and the cool-down phase. The body temperature and
oxygen intake should be raised slowly in the warm-up phase. This can be
done with gymnastic exercises lasting five to ten minutes.
Then the actual training (training phase) should begin. The training exertion
should be relatively low for the first few minutes and then raised over a
period of 15 to 30 minutes such that the pulse rate reaches the region of
between 70% to 85% of the maximum pulse rate.
In order to support the circulation after the training phase and to prevent
aching or strained muscles later, it is necessary to follow the training
phase with a cool-down phase. This should be consist of stretching
exercises and / or light gymnastic exercises for a period of five to ten
minutes.
4. Motivation
The key to a successful program is regular training. You should set a fixed
time and place for each day of training and prepare yourself mentally for
the training. Only train when you are in the mood for it and always have
your goal in view. With continuous training you will be able to see how you
are progressing day by day and are approaching your personal training
goal bit by bit.
Calculation formula: Maximum pulse rate
=
220 - age
(220 minus your age)
90% of the maximum pulse rate
=
(220 - age) x 0.9
85% of the maximum pulse rate
=
(220 - age) x 0.85
70% of the maximum pulse rate
=

AGE indicator:
In this display you enter your age for programs 11 and 12.
Using this information, the computer works out your maximum pulse.
Use the „+/-“ keys to influence the entered value.
The last values attained are held in memory as already described in
these instructions.
(Minimum limit for the display is 25 years – Highest limit of the display
is 99 years)
MAX PULSE indicator:
Based on the value entered in the AGE indicator, the computer works
out your maximum pulse rate for programs 11 and 12.
You can see how your maximum pulse rate is determined by studying
the table and formula that follow later in these instructions. In order to
work out your own value you should visit your doctor. You cannot influence
this value using the „+/-“ keys. The values last attained are held in
memory as already described in these instructions.
(Highest limit for the display is 299 beats per minute)
6. “PULSE” display:
The current pulse rate is displayed in beats per minute. Particular values
cannot be specified.
The values last attained by this function are not stored.
(Limit of both displays: 240 pulse beats per minute.)
(Note: For pulse measurement, the two contact surfaces of the pulse
measuring handle unit (15) must be gripped simultaneously. The contact
surfaces should be located centrally in the palms of the hands.
