TRAINING OVERVIEW
The recommended training time with the PowerBoard 2.1 is 10 minutes 3 times a week. This full body plan
was established by a personal tness coach and supports you in reaching your goals. You can of course
always tailor the duration and intensity to suit your personal shape or form and preferences. Remember
that a sensible warm-up is necessary before each training session and should be by no means neglected.
Even if you just warm up for 5 minutes, you are then ready to get started. There is a whole range of exer-
cises that you can perform using the PowerBoard 2.1. If you desire new input or variety, just take a look
online or get in touch with your PowerBoard 2.1 supplier.

CALORIE COUNTER
The calorie counter of PowerBoard 2.1 is a new function to ensure even more eectiveness.
The calories displayed/consumed represent an average standard value that can be reached by consistent
training. When nding one’s position on the PowerBoard 2.1 without movement you consume much fewer
calories than during an average training session with mediocre eort.
The calorie counter calculates the data on the basis of benchmarks which consist of several sporting ac-
tivities. Average values, from a light walk to quick jogging, or a normal work-out exercise with or without
weights, are calculated. The method for calculating calories is based on the overall result of the calorie con-
sumption of these types of sports with an average recorded weight of 85kg.
Using this particular method, calorie consumption can be considered to be rather realistic. It is calculated by
the second, so that if there are changes in speed the calorie count is recalculated in order to show an exact
consumption.
BOD M INDEX
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement for assessing a person’s weight (body mass). Since excess
weight is a globally growing problem the body mass index is primarily used to indicate associated risks.
The BMI correlates body mass to the body surface, which is calculated approximately using the square of
the body height. The BMI therefore only represents a rough reference point, as it does not consider phy-
sique and sex or the individual composition of a person’s body mass of fat- and muscle tissue.
BMI = body mass (kg)

RESTING HEART RATE
RESTING HEART RATE
The resting heart rate is an indicator of your tness. It is best measured in the morning shortly after waking
whilst lying down, when the body is still completely relaxed. Measure using thumb and index nger either
from the left wrist or the carotid artery, counting the heart beat for 15 seconds and multiplying the number
by 4, or using a pulse monitor.
