- Exercise instructions

The following instructions are only a sample of possible exercises. Please refer to the respective literature for information about other exercises.

□ Wear comfortable sports- or leisure clothing.
☐ Warm up before beginning the exercises.
☐ Perform the exercises at a steady pace, breathing easy. Follow the specified motion sequences and do not overestimate yourself. Breathe out when contracting the muscles, breath in when releasing them.

Each exercise should consist of the following three parts:

WarmUp

This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also reduce the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch - if it hurts, STOP.

TheTraining

The start of endurance or a force or muscle training is the first step in the fight against civilization infectious diseases and physical symptoms, especially with advancing age. Often the endurance training is also called cardiovascular or cardio training because of the positive effects on the cardiovascular system.

CoolDown

Just as a warm-up should be performed before each training session, a cool-down should take place after a unit. A Cool Down starts the relaxation phase; the operating temperature of the body will come back down and shows the transition of stress relaxation.

The cool-down should last at least 10 minutes (as the Warm Up) and is controlled slowly dropping down to the lowest level. The pulse rate should drop as low as possible.

Stretching

As already mentioned, you can stretch before/during the warm-up your muscles easily. After the training you should definitely stretch your muscles. A stretching afterwards returns the muscle to its original length, thus preventing muscle shortening. The more strenuous the training has been, the more important is the stretching afterwards.

Particularly important is the stretching for the exercised muscle groups.

Stretching should be noticeable for the muscle addressed, but it should never hurt. Stretching should take 20 to 30 seconds per muscle.

Start your training with about 7–8 reps per exercise set. Increase the number of repetitions according to your individual preferences slowly to 11–12 reps per set. If you notice that your muscles are tired, reduce the scope of your training. Ideally train 3–4 times a week. However, be sure that between individual exercises one day of rest is inserted so that the muscles and the body are able to recover sufficiently.

Also, perform all exercises with a stable body centre. The spine (particularly the lumbar spine) must be kept straight, so that the individual vertebrae are held in the biomechanically correct position, e.g. to protect the disc against faulty loads.

Do not train with momentum and / or jerkily. Perform all exercises in a smooth and controlled manner. Note that in case of improper or excessive training negative effects on your health are possible.
