The distributor is not responsible for damages caused by improper or inappropriate use.

Personal Safety

Before using the device, consult your family doctor to determine if the training is suitable from a health perspective. This is particularly important for individuals with a hereditary predisposition to hypertension or heart disease, smokers, individuals with high cholesterol levels, overweight individuals, and those who have not trained regularly in the past year. If you are taking medications that affect heart rate, it is essential to get medical advice. Excessive exercise can be harmful to health. In case of weakness, nausea, dizziness, pain, shortness of breath, or other abnormal symptoms during training, stop the activity immediately and consult a doctor.

As a general rule, sports equipment is not a toy. Unless otherwise indicated, the equipment may only be used by one person at a time. It must be used as intended and only by adequately informed and instructed persons.

Training Information

Workout Preparation

Before starting your workout, ensure that both the equipment and your body are in good condition. If you have not engaged in strength or endurance training for a long period, consult your family doctor and undergo a fitness check. Discuss your training goals with your doctor, especially if you are over 35 years old, overweight, or have cardiovascular problems.

Workout Planning

Effective, targeted, and motivating training requires good planning. Integrate training into your daily routine. Unplanned training can easily be interrupted or postponed. Plan training sessions long-term, for months, not just day-to-day or week-to-week. Incorporate motivation strategies during workouts, such as listening to music. Set realistic goals, such as losing 1 kg in four weeks or increasing training weight by 10 kg in six weeks, and reward yourself upon achieving these goals.

Training Frequency

Experts recommend 3 to 4 days of endurance/strength training per week. The more frequently you train, the faster you will achieve your goals. However, it is important to allow sufficient rest between sessions for your body to recover and regenerate. Take at least one rest day after each training session.

Hydration

Adequate fluid intake is crucial before and during training. During a 60-minute session, you can lose up to 0.5 liters of fluid. To compensate, drink a mixture of one-third apple juice and two-thirds mineral water, which replenishes lost electrolytes and minerals. Drink approximately 330 ml 30 minutes before starting the session and maintain balanced hydration during training.

Warm-up

Warm up your body for 5-7 minutes at low intensity, using a jump rope, cross-trainer, or similar equipment. This prepares your body for the upcoming workout.

Cool-down

Do not stop training abruptly. Gradually reduce intensity for 5-7 minutes on a stationary bike, cross-trainer, or similar equipment, and then stretch your muscles thoroughly.

Warm-up Exercises / Stretching

Thighs

Lean against a wall or the exercise equipment with your right hand. Lift your left foot backward and hold it with your left hand, with your knee pointing downwards. Pull your thigh backward until you feel a slight stretch in the muscle. Hold the position for 15-20 seconds, then slowly release your foot and lower your leg. Repeat with your right leg.

Legs and Lower Back

Sit on the floor with your legs extended. Try to grasp the top of your feet with both hands, extending your arms and leaning your torso slightly forward. Hold the position for 15-20 seconds, then slowly straighten your torso.

Triceps and Shoulders

Bring your left hand behind your head to your right shoulder. Pull your left elbow with your right hand until you feel a slight stretch. Hold the position for 15-20 seconds, then repeat with your right hand.

Upper Body

Extend your left arm across your right arm at shoulder height. Pull your left upper arm with your right hand until you feel a slight stretch. Hold the position for 15-20 seconds, then repeat with your right hand.
