The best training to improve your general fitness is properly efficient, not too heavy and not too easy. It’s good to sweat while working out, but important still to be able to talk comfortably. This type of exercise is called aerobic or endurance exercise and your body produces the required energy by burning body fat with the aid of oxygen. This in turn leads to a reduction in fat tissue.
Rest is as important as exercise in a fitness programme. If you for instance exercise conscientiously for three weeks, it’s good to make the following week a little lighter. Proper exercise prolongs life and helps you enjoy what you have.

NOTE! If the equipment does not function properly during use, contact your Tunturi dealer immediately. Always give the model (T8), nature of malfunction, conditions of use and serial number of your equipment.
