Training notes

The following exercises only represent a selection. You
can find further exercises in the relevant literature.
Warm up well before each training session.
Do not train if you feel ill or unwell.
When starting training, get instruction on the
correct execution of the exercises from an
experienced physiotherapist if possible.
Only exercise as long as you feel well and/ or
you are able to carry out the exercises correctly.
Wear comfortable sports clothing and trainers.
Determine the frequency and intensity of the
exercises yourself. Start slowly 2 to 3 times a
week for 10 minutes at a time, and increase
the frequency and the exercise intensity gradu-
ally. The more frequently and regularly you
carry out the exercises, the fitter and better you
will feel.
CAUTION! Avoid training too intensely!
When you first begin training, 2–3 minutes are
sufficient per exercise. If you train every day
the duration can be increased to 5–10 minutes
after approximately one week. The maximum
training time should, however, not exceed
1 hour.
Take sufficient breaks between exercises and
drink sufficient fluids.
CAUTION!
Cease exercising immediately if you ex-
perience discomfort or feel unwell and
consult your doctor.
