1 TRAINING HAND BOOK
2 Introduction Welcome to WaterWorkx The WaterWorkx is the first patented Body Toner that uses water to create a natural, smooth and self-determined resistance with variable resistance. The WaterWorkx has been designed to allow each and every user to work at their own pace and intensity. This makes the WaterWorkx a machine suitable for all users, whatever your age, fitness level or aspiration. We feel that being able to exercise in an environment that encourages you to discover your own level of intensity is the most natural way to exercise. Combined with the aesthetic quality of the WaterWorkx we are sure your workouts will be fun and enjoyable. WaterWorkx Features Our aim in developing the WaterWorkx is to provide a natural and enjoyable approach to your exercise allowing you to achieve your individual health and fitness goals. Compared to other exercise machines and home gyms, the WaterWorkx offers several important benefits: - unique self-regulating water resistance - lower risk of injury to joints, muscles and bones - specially designed workout manual guiding you through a large number of exercise routines - stylish, environmentally sensitive design - enjoyable soothing sound of water during exercise
3 Introduction WaterWorkx only engages concentric muscle contraction (the muscle shortens while generating force), while removing the common eccentric muscle contraction (the muscle elongating under tension) typical in standard weight machines. Eccentric muscle contraction is proven to result in greater muscle damage and soreness. WaterWorkx will enable you to train all major muscle groups individually and in combination with each other. Arms, legs, chest, abdominals and glutes can be individually toned, while your back and joints become flexible and resilient. WaterWorkx will help you increase/improve: your strength your endurance your flexibility your coordination your posture your balance your overall health
4 Training There are two basic, correlated workout approaches: 1. Classic Training You conduct/execute an exercise as closely as possible to the training ideal 2. Differential Training You develop a personal training style Both approaches ultimately form an entity or rather a methodical workout structure. To be on the safe side, a beginner workout, for example, should strictly follow the respective training recommendations from the Exercise Manual (classic training). As sufficient endurance and experience is gained (especially with regard to exercise weight, exercise speed and its specific intensity), as well as a good assessment of your personal resilience, your workout should become more diversified (differential training). The wrong and right of the exercises begin to fade and your personal, individual style develops. The engine behind this development is a fluctuation of the exercise parameters: exercise types, training time (morning/evening), training atmosphere (music/peace), training frequency, training weight, motion speed, extent of motion, number of repetitions, length of intervals, grip position, feet position and posture. This methodical build-up leads to the development of an intuitive training routine, which develops as more experience is gained. Train, therefore, with your head, heart and lots of creativity and fun!
5 Training Use the scientific exercise guidelines drawn up in this manual to ensure you progress steadily in achieving your personal training goals. First, choose between - Full-body training - Training a body zone Then decide on either - Endurance training / 20 repetitions / light resistance - Strength training / 10 repetitions / heavy resistance Additional Circuit Training: choose, for example, a full-body power-endurance routine. The aim is to exercise different body zones through consecutive exercises in a continuous routine with little or no rest between each exercise. Set Training: Do a certain number of repetitions on one exercise (1 set), rest as appropriate and then repeat the same number of repetitions on the same exercise for additional sets. Rest duration: You will find that you may need longer rest time when training with heavier resistance and lower repetitions. Power-endurance training requires a rest-duration of about 1 minute, and strength training about 2-3 minutes. With circuit training, you can reduce the length of the resting period in between each exercise and gain additional cardiovascular training. Training a body zone: Choose the body zone, which you want to train. Select 2-4 exercises for this body area and choose whether to perform the exercises in a power, strength or endurance manner. Select Circuit training or Set training. In the next training session work a different body zone. Of course you can also for example, train two body zones per session. Warning: Should you have any concerns we recommend that you seek medical advice before starting an exercise program. For beginners we recommend lighter resistance and endurance training.
6 Whole body training Training a body zone For each body zone, there are several different exercises in this training handbook. Each body-zone is colour coded and the individual exercises are numbered. From Arms From Abdominals / Lower Back / Core From Legs / Buttock From Shoulders ab Back From Chest Stretching Example: Body Zone: Shoulders (purple) Exercise #: 420 Exercise Name: Front Raise Whole body training In the following table six examples for whole-body training sessions are listed. Each body zone (see above) has one exercise (exercise number) in a column. Aim to complete 20 reps of each exercise in a circuit manner. Please use the rows and columns we have left below to devise your own individual training programs. Select the body zone you would like to train, choose an exercise and enter the exercise number in the table. Choose either: - Endurance training / 20 repetitions / light resistance (recommended) - Strength training / 10 repetitions / heavy resistance Tip: Enter the numbers in pencil on the table, so you can easily change your program and insert new exercises. Blank tables can be downloaded and printed from the following website
7 Whole body training rep Enter in the left column (grey) the number of repetitions. In the blank rows you can fill in your own training programs.
8 Training Top Safety first! With any exercise routine you should always gradually work your way up to the level you wish to attain. Give yourself time to develop experience of the various exercises and as your strength levels increase, so will your ability to increase the resistance. For example, start with low resistance training and make sure your warm up and rest periods are sufficient in duration. Begin training slowly and in short periods. As you get stronger and fitter you will find it easier to increase the resistance and duration of your training sessions. 2. One after the other! Commence with a level you are comfortable with and gradually build up the number of exercises, the resistance and the duration over a period of time. Set yourself some individual goals such as toning a part of your body, losing weight or generally increasing fitness by being able to train for longer. This will ensure a long term commitment to the exercise and your success. 3. Always warm up! The Warm Up gets your body (and mind) ready for the workout. When you are cold your body is much less resilient and thus is more prone to injuries. Warm up your full body, particularly those body zones, which you intend to train. An ideal warm up exercise is rowing on the WaterRower. A ten minute warm up on the WaterRower gets you ready for your training with the WaterWorkx. 4. Stretching is important, strength training is more important! If you are short of time and you have to decide between stretching exercises (not your warm up which should already be a part of your routine!) or strength training then we recommend you choose strength training. By training all body zones on a regular basis you will automatically stretch your muscles. When contracting a muscle your nerve system automatically relaxes/stretches the counter muscle (antagonist). Please do not misunderstand, stretching is important and should be done on a regular basis, stretching relaxes(see stretching). 5. Fatigue the targeted muscle! Training of your muscles today will lead to better performance of these muscles tomorrow. When consciously fatiguing your muscle, power, resilience and body awareness will improve faster. The "right" number of repetitions and the "right" resistance is not always effective if you are not focussing on the targeted muscles.
9 Training Top Train with all your senses! You can see, hear and feel your training. Feel the muscle tension during the contraction, feel the heat as the blood flows through the muscles, feel the fatigue immediately after the training and feel your body in the days thereafter. See how your body looks before, during and after training. Look at yourself in the mirror and see your muscle during training. In addition, hear the gentle movement of the water during training. 7. Recognise what time effort type you are! Training is good as long as it is regularly and long term. Find the easy way to sustain your training by knowing how much time you are prepared to invest on a regular basis. It does not matter whether you train three times a week for one hour or every two days for 20 minutes or daily or even 10 minutes twice a week, it is important to exercise on a regular basis. Enjoyment of training leads to success. Find out what works for you. 8. Note the difference! "Differential training" is an innovative training approach, which puts the individual first. Variety in training offers the best results, which is why there are so many exercise combinations offered using the WaterWorkx. The human body develops through practical experiences, which should be numerous and diverse. 9. Drink plenty of water! Water helps with blood pressure and circulation. Water lubricates all the joints of the body. Water regulates body temperature. Water ensures that muscles do not cramp. Water conducts electrical impulses through the body which control how muscles work. Water allows Fat metabolism. Overall: Water enables you to train for longer, more powerfully and most importantly, safely! 10. Care about the basics! Training details can wait. Our environment is flooded with fitness tips, 99 percent of these tips concern the absolute intricacies of the training. They are difficult to understand and have little effect. Basics are common sense, they are easy to understand and quick to learn. Distinguish between details and basics and decide what is important for you as an individual in your exercise. Have fun and success using your WaterWorkx!
