Special training directions
The sequence of running exercises should be familiar to everyone.
Nevertheless, there are certain points that should be observed when
running:
• Always make sure the structure and condition of the unit
are correct before training.
• Only get on and off the unit when it is at a complete sta
still and hold the hand grips to do so.
• Fasten the cord of the safety tread-stop key to your clothing
before starting the treadmill.
• Train with the proper running or sports shoes.
• Running on a treadmill is different from running on normal
ground. Therefore, you should prepare yourself for the
running training with slow walking on the treadmill.
• Hold firmly onto the handlebars during your first training
units in order to avoid uncontrolled movements that could
lead to a fall. This applies especially to operating the com
puter while running.
• Beginners should not adjust the incline of the tread to too
high a position, in order to avoid overload.
• Run in as even a rhythm as possible.
• Only train in the middle of the tread.
