ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (STEP 1-6)

Missing parts: If any parts are missing from the packaging, carefully check the polystyrene foam and the appliance itself. Some parts (bolts, screws, etc.) are already attached to the unit.

Error message: Make sure that all cables are carefully attached. The brackets of the console are very sensitive and must be kept straight. If the console gives an error message after the equipment has been mounted, the brackets of the console may be bent. Straightening this aluminum part may make the error message disappear.

Hex head bolts: Make sure that the hex head spanner is pushed into the bolt before applying force. This will prevent the head of the socket bolt from turning.

TRAINING GUIDELINES

A successful training program includes a warm-up, the actual training and a cool-down. Perform the complete training program at least twice, but preferably three times a week and keep a rest day between training sessions. After a few months, the intensity of the training can be increased, for example to four or five times a week.

The warm-up

The purpose of a warm-up is to prepare the body for training and to reduce the risk of injury. Warm up your body for two to five minutes before starting a cardio or strength training session. Do exercises that increase the heart rate and warm up the working muscles. Examples of this type of activity are running, jogging, jumping jacks, skipping and running in place.

Stretching

Stretching while the muscles are warm is very important after a good warm-up and cool-down. It reduces the risk of injury. Stretching exercises should be held for 15-30 seconds.

Cooling down

The purpose of the cool-down is to return the body to its (near) normal resting position at the end of the workout. A good cool-down slowly reduces your heart rate and promotes recovery.
