Instruction manual
For fat loss and increase in endurance, a workout with
about 40% to 60% of the maximum load and a higher
number of reps (for example 20 - 25) makes sense.
Muscle mass and maximal strength are best exercised
by a training with very heavy weights and low reps (for
example, 6 - 10), though.
As with any training the regularity is important. How-
ever, the muscles addressed in the exercises need a
day's rest between workouts, so that, ideally, two or
three times a week should be trained.
Each of the exercises shown below should be per-
formed with one to three sets (each set with 6 - 25
repetitions). Work initially depending on the training
goal with twelve to 15 repetitions or 20 – 25. After a
few weeks you may – again depending on your fitness
goal – increase the weight and / or adjust the number
of repetitions.
Keep a sufficient body tension at any time during the
training. Lift your chest and pull in the abdomen, tight-
en your buttocks to keep your back straight, bend your
knees slightly and keep your wrists straight. Work out
slowly and evenly and breathe consciously.
(A) “Lunge”
Go into a crouch. Keep the weight on the side of the
back leg. Press now out of the slight lunge upward and
move the arm with the dumbbell over the shoulder and
the head (see sketch). Then return to the starting posi-
tion.
(B) Rowing
Place one knee and the hand on the same side on a
chair or bench. Keep the free arm with the dumbbell
next to the body. Bend your arm and lift the elbow.
Hold this position for 1-2 seconds and then return to
the starting position.
(C) Triceps 1
Lie down with your back on a bench. Take the dumb-
bell in both hands. Raise the dumbbell with flexed el-
bows above and over your head (see illustration). Bend
your elbows. Raise the dumbbell up and stretch the
arms. Hold this position for 1-2 seconds and then re-
turn to the starting position.
(D) Triceps 2
Stand upright with your feet shoulder width apart. Take
the dumbbell in both hands. Raise the dumbbell with
flexed elbows over your head (see illustration). Lower
your arms downward behind your shoulders. Lift the
dumbbell now up over your head and stretch your
arms. Hold this position for 1-2 seconds and then re-
turn to the starting position.
(E) Biceps
Stand upright with your feet shoulder width apart. Hold
the arm with the dumbbell next to the body. Slowly
bend your arms up to shoulder height. The upper arm
and the elbow remain stable next to the body. Hold this
position for 1-2 seconds and then return to the starting
position.
