You can now listen to music via the integrated loudspeaker of the vibration plate. Note: When you switch on the vibration plate, BT is automatically activated.

If you need to move the unit, hold it in the middle of the side as shown in the picture.30

Perform the movements before each workout to mobilize your joints and activate your muscles. Should a movement be uncomfortable or painful, skip this movement and consult your doctor or tness instructor about suitable warm-up movements. Each movement should be repeated (right and left) so that you can start the cardio training relaxed. Take about 5 minutes to do the following Klart training routine:

1. Tilt the head sideways, slowly alternating from right to left. Then mobilize

your shoulders (circular movements and shrugging the shoulders).

2. Turn the hips while the arms are stretched out. The feet are not rmly

xed to the ground (the ankles follow the body’s rotation).

3. Bend to the side and raise one arm straight up. Stay in this position for

several seconds on each side.

4. Bend to the side and raise both arms above your head with palms together.

Again, remain on each side for several seconds. The exercise is now a bit more intense with the second arm joining.

5. Stand on one leg and hold the instep of the other foot with your hand.

Mobilize it so as to stretch the thigh lightly. If necessary, hold onto something to keep your balance. Stand on one leg and trace a circle with your foot in the air in both directions (counter clockwise and clockwise).

6. Put one leg forward and with your arms support the weight of your upper

body on your thigh. Position your legs so as to provide a stretch for the rear leg’s calf muscles.

7. Repeat the previous exercise with more distance between your feet. The

stretch will now be more intense.

8. Bend forward while keeping your legs straight and alternatingly touch

each hand to the opposite foot. Finally, let yourself hang down and relax.32

Advantages of vibration training Calm and high-frequency vibrations and oscillations, combined with a range of exercises, stimulate the muscular tissue and reduce fat accumulation. In addition, the elasticity of the muscles will be increased, the body shaped and the general well-being positively inuenced. Possible contra indications Your practitioner and the Physiotherapist Berlin point out that the training on the vibration plate is not suitable when the following diagnoses have been made:

• High degree of osteoporosis

• Untreated hypertension

TRAINING EFFECTS Low frequencies (approx. 1 - 12 Hz) Low frequencies between 5 and 12 Hz are used for the mobilisation. At low frequencies, the movement of the training platform is not fast enough to cause stretch reexes. Due to the intended compensation of the rocking movement, low frequencies are therefore particularly used for the mobilisation and are expressed by a clearly increased movement of the hip. Positive effects:

• Relaxation of muscles, „cool-down“.

• Improvement of proprioception / balance

Medium frequencies (approx. 10-20 Hz) The training goal at medium frequencies of 10 to 20 Hertz (oscillations per second) is the training of the muscle function as such. At a training frequency of 15 Hertz, for example, the time between two reex cycles is approx. 67 milliseconds (thousandths of a second). After the reex-controlled contraction, the remaining time until the next contraction is sufcient for the muscle to relax again. The average physiological time for a complete contraction/relaxation cycle is only about 50 milliseconds. This is particularly important when the basic functions of the muscle, namely the ability to contract and relax as well as coordination, are to be trained effectively. Due to the large number of repetitions (e.g. 3 minutes Galileo training at 18 Hertz = 3,240 cycles) the improvement of the muscle functions can be achieved considerably faster than with most other training methods such as machine training in the tness centre. Another decisive factor is that the muscle activity in the Galileo Training does not have to be deliberately controlled, but can be reex-based and therefore largely uninuenced by the will of the user. This ensures that the control cycles consisting of muscle bands / tendons / cartilage nerves can be improved independently. At the same time, the entire muscle chain and thus its coordination can always be trained to a large extent. The decisive factor for this coordination training is that the entire muscle chain can be stimulated in a physiologically appropriate pattern similar to the human gait. This is why we also speak of mechano-stimulation of the muscles. Positive effects:

• Improvement of muscle function and coordination

• Stretching of the muscular and tendon apparatus

• Improvement of exibility

• Relaxation of the back muscles

• Muscle length training

• 12-14 Hz: Reduction of sore muscles High frequencies (approx. 20 - 36 Hz) At high frequencies, the muscle does not have enough time to achieve complete relaxation within the short time between two cycles. Rather, the muscle is forced to contract again when it is about to relax or is already partially relaxed. As a result, inter- and intramuscular coordination in particular is trained with greater forces and within very short periods of time, which ultimately leads to an increase in the muscular performance. Positive effects: Tone increase Increase of muscle performance Restoration of muscle strength34

Please read the Operating Instructions section of this instruction manual before using the machine. In order to improve your posture and balance, you should ideally not hold on to anything while standing on the machine; nevertheless, even though the vast majority of people need no support, we recommend that you place the machine next to a chair at least for the rst time that you stand on it. Select which exercises you prefer from the options below. We suggest you start a session in a standing or squatting position, and nish a session with a mix of stretch positions and a calf massage. If you are standing on the machine when it stops, then stay on the platform for 20 seconds until you regain your equilibrium. Standing - Exercises Legs, Buttocks & Core Muscles Simply stand on the platform and have your knees slightly bent. This position exercises the legs, buttocks, and all of the core muscles. As you increase the speed, you will feel increased movement through your pelvis, abdominal muscles, lower lumbar muscles, and up into the lateral muscles in your back. Just relax, do not push against the platform, the machine does all the work for you. Maximum Time: 10 minutes Recommended Use: 3 minutes If you prefer, you can hold the upper body resistance bands which aids stability and gives you the opportunity to exercise the upper torso and arms.36

Squatting Stand on the platform with your knees bent. This will lessen the stimulation of the upper body and concentrate the effects more on the calves, thighs and buttocks. Maximum Time: 10 minutes Recommended Use: 3 minutes Chest Exerciser Holding the bands, and with a minimum of waist movement, pull one hand across your torso to target the pectoral muscles for toning the chest. Alternate arms. Maximum Time: 10 minutes Recommended Use: 3 sets of 10 repetitions, (one rep includes both a left and right movement), over 5 to 10 minutes. Torso Twist With your feet facing forward, twist from the waist while holding both bands near the chest. Unless under instruction, do not do this exercise if you have suffered knee problems. Maximum Time: 10 minutes Maximum Speed: 5 Recommended Use: 3 sets of 10 repetitions, (one rep includes both a left and right movement), over 5 to 10 minutes.37

Arm Curls One of the best exercises for toning the arms and usually done with both arms at the same time. Start with both hands by your sides, and bending at the elbow raise your hands with your palms facing up. Maximum Time: 10 minutes Recommended Use: 3 sets of 10 reps, over 3 to 10 minutes. Front Raise Usually done one arm at a time, this exercises the whole of the upper body, the shoulders in particular. Lateral Raise Pull the bands out to the side to form a cross, this will exercise the shoulder muscles and the lateral muscles in your upper back. Maximum Time: 10 minutes Recommended Use: 3 sets of 10 repetitions of each exercise, to be done over a 5 to 10 minute period. Stretch & Hold Raise you hands above your head and hold the position for 5 seconds. Relax and repeat. These can be done with or without the machine running. Maximum Time: 1 minute Recommended Use: 1 minute Maximum Speed: 8 Hamstring & Calf Stretch Gently stretch the hamstrings and hold for 5 seconds. Relax and repeat. These can be done with or without the machine running. Maximum Time: 1 minute Recommended Use: 1 minute Maximum Speed: 838

Abdominals Simply standing on the machine exercises your abdominals but for an additional exercise you can switch between these two positions. Try to keep your back straight. Maximum Time: 2 minutes Recommended Use: 1 minute Maximum Speed: 8 Arm & Shoulder Massage With your knees on the oor, place your hands on the platform. To increase the intensity of the exercise you can lower your body closer to the platform (keep your back straight). Maximum Time: 2 minutes Recommended Use: 1 minute Maximum Speed: 8 Leg Massage Rest your calves on the platform. Turn your feet outward for a deeper massage. Maximum Time: 5 minutes Recommended Use: 2 minutes Maximum Speed: 839

Note: As with all training machines with mechanical, moving components, screws may loosen due to frequent use. We therefore recommend that you check them regularly and, if necessary, retighten them with a suitable key. Clean your training device regularly with a damp cloth to clean the surfaces from sweat and dust.

• Often clean the exercise bike with clean cloth to keep the clean appearance.

• The safety level of the equipment only can be maintained if it is regularly examined for damage and or /wear and tear.(e.g. handle bar, pedals and seat ...etc.).It is vital that any faulty parts are replaced and the it is not used until completed repaired.

• Regularly check that the elements fastened with nuts and bolts are correctly tightened.

• Remember regularly to grease moving parts.

• Special attention to the component, most of them are susceptible to wear like brake system, foot pad etc.

• As sweat is very corrosive, do not allow it to come into contact with the enameled or chromed parts of the equipment, particularly the computer. Immediately wipe the equipment after using. The enameled parts can be cleaned using a damp sponge. All aggressive or corrosive products must be avoided.

• Storing the equipment in a clean and dry environment away from children.40
