Training Instructions

If you have not been physically active for a long period of time and also to avoid health risks you should consult your general physician before starting to exercise.

To achieve a considerable improvement of your physical resistance and your health, some aspects of how to achieve the most efficient training should be followed:

Intensity

To achieve maximum results the right intensity has to be chosen. The heart rate is used as guideline. As a rule of thumb the following formula is commonly used:

Maximum pulse rate = 220 - Age

While exercising the pulse rate should always be between 60% - 85% of the maximum pulse rate.

For your personal training rates please see the attached pulse rate chart.

When starting to exercise you should keep your rate at 70% of your maximum pulse rate in the first couple of weeks.

With increasing improvement of fitness the pulse rate should be slowly increased to 85% of your maximum pulse rate.

This is a personal orientation value. Consult your physician for professional advise before adapting a heart rate recovery program.

Fat burning

The body starts to burn fat at approx. 65% of the maximum pulse rate.

To reach an optimum at burning rate, it is advisable to keep the pulse rate between 70% - 80% of the maximum pulse rate.

The optimum training amount consists of three workouts per week 30 minutes each.

Example:

You are 52 years of age and would like to start exercising.

Maximum pulse rate = 220 - 52(age) = 168 pulse/min

Minimum pulse rate = 168 × 0.7 = 117 pulse/min
Highest pulse rate = 168 × 0.85 = 143 pulse/min

During the first weeks it is advisable to start with a pulse rate of 117, afterwards increase it to 143.

With increasing improvement of fitness the training Intensity should be increased to 70% -85% of your maximum pulse rate.

This can be done by increasing the pedalling resistance, by using a higher pedalling frequency or with longer training periods.

Training Organisation

Warm-up

Before every training session you should warm-up for 5-10 minutes.

Some stretching and pedalling with low pedalling resistance will get you started.

DKN-Technology warming-up program

Stretch or flexibility training is vital for a fit and healthy physique. By training your body to become more supple, you will improve circulation and help keep your muscles mobile. The DKN-Technology warming-up program allows you to achieve a supple and well-toned form.

If you have not focused on stretch training before, start with gentle stretches and increase the length or time of the stretch as you become more flexible over time. With a wide variety of fitness items throughout the DKN-Technology range, you will always find a product to match your fitness level.

Prior to exercise, make sure you warm up thoroughly to protect against injury and prepare yourself for the activity to come. Warm up for 8 to 10 minutes by walking or jogging lightly on the spot or use a treadmill, bike or elliptical strider. Try to include some similar movements that make up your workout, include stretches to target your tighter muscles. The duration of the warm up activity will depend on the intensity of your workout as well as your own fitness level.

Work-out

During the actual training a rate of 70% -85% of the maximum pulse rate should be chosen.

The time-length of your work out can be calculated with the following rule of thumb:

daily work-out: approx. 10 min. per unit

2-3 x per week: approx. 30 min. per unit

1-2 x per week: approx. 60 min. per unit

Cool down

To introduce an effective cool-down of the muscles and the metabolism the intensity should be drastically decreased during the last 5 - 10 minutes.

Stretching is also helpful for the prevention of muscle ache.

Success

Even after a short period of regular exercises you will realise that you constantly have to increase the pedalling resistance to reach your optimum pulse rate.

The units will be continuously easier and you will feel a lot fitter during your normal day.

For this achievement you should motivate yourself to exercise regularly. Choose fixed hours for your work out and do not start training too aggressively.

An old saying amongst sportsmen says:

"The most difficult thing about training is to start it."

Wishing you lots of fun and success with your exerciser.
