Is the training device suitable for warming up?

For a targeted warm-up of the whole body, we recommend a playfit® endurance machine, such as the Elliptical or the Ski Walker.

How many sets should I do on the leg press?

Beginners should perform 2 – 3 sets of 5 – 10 repetitions each. If you train regularly on the outdoor leg press, we recommend 15 – 25 repetitions per set to increase your performance.
