The new Isokinator Training Manual & Instruction
Update (June 2026, 45th edition): The new, further improved training guide (compared to all editions before 2026) for the Isokinator. Valid for all models. Features a total of 25 exercises in DIN A4 format, plus numerous pointers, tips, and tricks.
New in this edition: Men and women train the same way - Additional background information: The Isokinator’s monitoring function (what do the indicator balls in the cockpit signal?) - The training system principle - The exercise principle - The training plan principle - The Isokinator principle - "Essential Knowledge" section with 13 new pointers, covering topics such as: When should I increase resistance? - Should I do additional endurance training? - Can I practice other sports as well? - What is the best time to train? - What to do about sore muscles? - What if the muscle and opposing muscle are not (yet) equally strong? - What to do during the flu or a cold? ...
In addition, the explanation for every single exercise has been refined. The exercises themselves remain the same as those in the December 2012 edition of the guide; however, they are now explained in greater detail to eliminate any possibility of misunderstanding. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers for the many suggestions shared via email and in forums.
Every conceivable question has now been answered, and two previously contradictory points have been corrected. The guide presents and explains not only the 7 basic exercises, but also 18 alternative exercises to choose from. Next to each exercise, you will find a QR code that allows you to access the corresponding explanatory YouTube video directly on your mobile phone.
Also new: the Isokinator Training Diary
Now available as a revised edition (starting June 2026): It now includes 6 additional metrics to help you track and monitor your training with even greater precision. New additions include: number of repetitions, workout duration, workload (total weight moved during the session), resting heart rate, blood pressure, and body fat percentage.
As a Koelbel Training Research customer, you already know that effective muscle-building fitness equipment must allow you to track your success and progress. Without a way to monitor the resistance being applied, your training becomes "blind" - and ultimately ineffective. Furthermore, increasing the resistance shouldn't just be possible; those increases should be measurable, and the right moment to make them should be clearly identifiable.
You might remember such changes in the short term, but it is far better to regularly record your insights, measurements, and data. In the training diary, you can easily note your current training resistance, the exercise number, and a personal grade reflecting how your day and workout went. There is also space for brief notes regarding any illnesses, training interruptions, or notable events. It provides reminders for training days, rest days, and measurement days. A single training diary covers 12 weeks of successful training.
