gram. After approx. 6–10 weeks you can switch to the next level of activity.

(20 minutes of physical exercise 2 to 5 times a week, e.g. jogging, cycling,
tennis etc.)

ment in your well-being/fitness in the course of a training/dietary program.
After 8–12 weeks of continuous training/diet, you can change to the next
level of activity.

(Daily intensive training or physical work, e.g. intensive running, construction
work etc.) For this mode you should have an overall high level of mobility,
endurance and power and maintain this level over a longer period of time.

3.4 Tips for using the scale

Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle percentage:
– The measurement may only be carried out while barefoot and it is helpful if
the soles of your feet are slightly damp. Completely dry soles can result in
unsatisfactory results, as they have insufficient conductivity.
– Stand still during the measurement.
