Training Tips for Proper Sling Training

Generally

Each training session with the sling trainer should be pain-free. If you experience pain or discomfort, stop the exercise immediately. If you continue training, choose an easier exercise variant. If you have pain in your back, either the exercise you have chosen is too strenuous or your posture needs to be corrected.

warm-up

Warm up before every workout. Walking or running on the spot activates the cardiovascular system and prepares you for the upcoming physical exertion. Start your training program with reduced exertion and only increase it when your muscles are optimally warmed up. Always adapt your warm-up program to your level of performance.

breathing

Proper breathing plays an important role in training. Breathe calmly and evenly. Do not hold your breath during training and do not resort to forced breathing.

Correct posture

Your body should always be in a straight line. To do this, tense your core muscles during all exercises by pulling your belly button towards your spine and tensing your gluteal muscles. Your pelvis will straighten slightly and your spine will move into a neutral position. Avoid arching your back during all exercises and do not let your back sag. Pull your shoulders back a little and then down; this will straighten your chest. Your joints should always be slightly bent. Always consciously tense the muscle group of the corresponding exercise. Make sure that the straps do not rub against your body, as this can lead to injury.
