Training Recommendations Hydration Adequate hydration is essential before and during exercise. During a training session of 30 minutes it is possible to lose up to 1 litre of liquid. To compensate for this fluid loss apple spritzer mixed in the ratio of one-third apple juice to two-thirds mineral water is ideal since it contains electrolytes and minerals to replace those that the body loses through sweat.

MAXXUS® Special Foam Cleaner – Use for regular cleaning of your training device. Plastic covers and metal frames can be easily cleaned and perfectly maintained with MAXXUS ® Special Foam Cleaner. It is also suitable for cleaning pulse belts and other training accessories.
