Assembly

You can perform the exercises with two levels of
difficulty. Fix the attachment to the underside of
the Balance board to increase the difficulty level
(figure A).

Training notes

The following exercises only represent a selec-
tion. You can find more exercises in the relevant
specialist literature.
• Warm up well before each training session.
• Do not train if you feel ill or unwell.
• If possible arrange for an experienced
physiotherapist to demonstrate the correct
execution of the exercises before starting.
• Only carry out the exercises for as long as you
feel comfortable or as long as you are able to
carry out the exercise correctly.
• Wear comfortable sports clothing and sports
shoes.
• Determine the frequency and intensity of the
exercises yourself. Start slowly, exercising 2-3
times a week for 10 minutes at a time and
increase the frequency and exercise inten-
sity gradually. The more frequently and more
regularly you carry out the exercises the fitter
and better you will feel.
Caution! Avoid excessive training
intensity!
• When you begin training, 2-3 minutes per
exercise are sufficient. If you are training every
day you can increase the duration to 5-10
minutes after approximately one week.
The maximum training time should not exceed
1 hour.
• Take sufficiently long breaks between the
exercises and drink sufficient liquids.
Caution!
If you experience complaints or feel
unwell stop exercising immediately and
consult your doctor.
