Isokinator Training Manual with DVD with 35 Exercises for Men and Women Training Research

This DVD and manual set is a must-have for English-speaking owners of an Isokinator. The manual (which measures 8x12) is chock-full of info that will let you get the most out of your workouts, with very detailed instructions for each exercise, and well-executed illustrations (drawings) so you know exactly what you should be doing. It contains lots of other valuable information as well, including how to do the maximum strength test. The test is to be done every 10-14 days. NOTE: Although the manual says the strength test is to be done for 10 minutes, that's a misprint; it should read "10 SECONDS".When I purchased my Isokinator several years ago, it came only with a fold-out chart, all in German. I don't speak German, so I had to try to figure things out on my own. Google translate was no help at all, lol. Now with this great manual and DVD, I see I was doing a lot of things wrong.The DVD and manual come free with every Isokinator sent to the US now, so if you're thinking of buying an Iso-K, no need to purchase the set separately. But if like me, you purchased an Iso-K before the English manual and DVD were available, you'll want to have this.The first 30 minutes of the DVD is mostly touting all the benefits of using the Iso-K (and showing how you can even put it through the dishwasher (and work out with it in the shower). It's interesting, but something you would probably need to watch just one time. The second half shows a man performing all the exercises. That I like to watch every so often to check my form, etc. Unfortunately, the DVD is not chaptered, so you'll have to fast-forward to the workout - not a real problem.One last thing, the manual is in perfect English, not what you might call "German English" (if you've ever purchased a product from Asia that comes with "English" instructions, you know what I'm talking about!)Hope my review was helpful.

A must have if you own the Isokinator!

I had a problem with the order, not the manual, which is excellant.Mfg resolved my problem without delay

Very clear, easy to read instructions on how to use the Isokinator. Manual is large, so even if you are an older athlete with less than perfect eyesight, the instructions and drawings in the manual are simple and easy to read. Well recommended.

I'd studied a spare manual, I used the the device, five separate, attempts (Workouts) You do have to jot down, in writing and adhere to Instructions. I'll get back Into the Isokinator routine, when I can. Cant wait, to get stuck into manual routine. Can't mention details, off layoff here. Regarding diet, you have to fortify yourself for muscle growth. Also all the proper, rest muscle relaxing routine. Muscle rubs, Hygiene and you have to use your own, digression and common sense when recuperating and the study off muscle health material. Those off you with Injuries, maybe over eager to get stuck into training routine. You do have to follow the detailed instructions, in manual, no matter how keen you are. There is the D.V.D. you have to plan the the routine by jotting down in jotter. when you have to have Layoffs. So you can be mentally prepared. You have to set, plan daily goals, weekly goals, eight week goals, Sticking to the goals is a different matter. Depends on you will power. Or health. If your good at keeping, track off what you write down, a record, can keep you on the write track. From Mark
