Training Recomendations
Intake of Li quids
The intake o sufcient liq uids beore and during train ing is vital. During a 60 -minute training session it is possible to
lose up to 0.5 litres o liquid. To compensate or this loss, you can drink a mix o one third apple jui ce to two thirds
water to replace all electro lytes and mine rals which your body loses through sweat. 30 minutes before you begin
training you should drink approx. 330 ml. Make sure that you take in enough liquids during training.
Training Frequency
Experts recommend doing weight training 3 to 4 days a week. You will of course reach your training target quicker if
you train more regularly.
Make sure that you allow or sufcient breaks in your training plan to give your body time to recover and regenerate.
After each training session you should take at least a one-day break. The rule of “less is of ten more” even applies to
tness and weight training!

2-minute recovery break.
Normally the weights used in training are increased from sequence to sequence.
A Training Session could be as follows:
1. Training Sequence – Training Weight 20 kg - 10 Repetitions
Break 1 Minute
2. Training Sequence – Training Weight 25 kg - 10 Repetitions
Break 1 Minute
3. Training Sequence – Training Weight 30 kg - 10 Repetitions
Break 1 Minute
4. Training Sequence – Training Weight 35 kg - 10 Repetitions
