DESIGNING A TRAINING PROGRAM
In order to achieve noticeable physical and health improvements, the following factors
have to be considered before determining the necessary training effort.
1. INTENSITY
The level of physical strain during training must exceed the normal burden without reaching a
point of breathlessness or exhaustion. A suitable guideline for effective training is your pulse.
During training, it should be at a level between 70 % and 85 % of your maximum pulse.
During the first week, your pulse during training should remain in the lower 70 % of your
maximum pulse. Over the course of the following weeks and months, your pulse frequency
should slowly increase to the upper level of 85 % of your maximum pulse. The better your
physical condition becomes, the more your training efforts should be increased. This can
be achieved by increasing the training duration and/or increasing the difficulty level. To
manually measure and log your heart rate, use the following methods:
a) Pulse control measurement in the usual manner (e.g. feeling your pulse on your wrist
and counting the beats within one minute).
b) Pulse control measurement using suitable and calibrated pulse measurement devices
(available in a medical supplies store).
