Warm-Up Exercises - DS Produkte QF-893 Mode D'emploi

■ Pregnant women should not use the device or should use it only after consultation
with their doctor.
■ CAUTION: Stop training immediately if you suddenly feel weak or dizzy. If you feel
sick, have pains in the chest or arms, an irregular heartbeat or other unusual symp-
toms, seek medical attention immediately.
■ Before each training session, you should fi rst do a few warm-up exercises without
the device. Begin the exercises slowly and only increase the intensity gradually until
you reach the desired performance level that you are still capable of maintaining.
■ Never train with a full stomach. Do not eat any meals for around an hour before and
after training.
■ Do not train if you are already tired and weary.
■ Always remember that your body needs lots of fl uid when doing any sporting activity.
You should also meet this need for fl uid.
Always remember that training on this training device can be of great benefi t to
your health if you follow the most important rules:
– It is not about doing a few exercises as quickly as you can, but about training
on a regular basis over the long term.
– The body – in particular the heart and the circulatory system – take time to
adjust to the changes which are caused by the training. For this reason, it is
particularly important to increase the level of your workout very slowly and you
must make sure that you take appropriate breaks during and after training.
You should therefore fi rst train at a performance level at which you do not burn
yourself out. Particularly when you fi rst start, you should train at a pace which
you fi nd pleasant. After regular training, you can increase the length of training
or move the setting on the device to a higher level of diffi culty.
– You should not start or stop your own training abruptly. You have all the time
in the world as you are after all training in the comfort of your own home.
Before you perform the actual exercise, you should warm up at a slow pace
and with only slight physical effort. At the end of your training session, you
should also fi nish at a slow pace and with only slight physical effort. You
should then do a few stretching exercises.

Warm-Up Exercises

Warming up should be a fundamental part of any sporting activity. It stimulates and
enhances all of the physical and mental components of performance capacity, and it
greatly reduces the risk of injury. Casually jog for approx. 5 to 10 minutes on the spot or
around the room. Intersperse this with a few spins and jumps.
