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.

-Technology
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
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
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
simular 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.
