OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) Obtain a complete physical examination from your medical
doctor and enlist a health/fitness professional’s aid in
developing an exercise program suitable for your current health
status.
2) When working out for the first time, start out slowly for a
minimum of five minutes. After your muscles are warmed up,
gradually increase the pedaling rate and/or resistance to a
speed that allows you to attain your target heart rate zone.
3) The speed and duration of your exercise program should
always be subject to how you feel. Never permit peer pressure
to exceed your personal judgment while exercising.
4) Overweight or severely unconditioned individuals should be
particularly cautious when using the equipment for the first
time. Even though such individuals may not have histories of
serious physical problems, they may perceive the exercise to be
far less intense than it really is, resulting in the possibility of
overexertion or injury.
5) Although all equipment manufactured by Cascade Health and
Fitness has been thoroughly inspected by the manufacturing
facility prior to shipment, proper installation and regular
maintenance are
required to ensure safety. Maintenance is the
sole responsibility of the owner.

The CMX Pro provides more seat and handlebar adjustability than
other indoor group cycles, and each adjustment is numbered so
you can quickly return the adjustments to your specific settings.
Making full use of these features will give you the most comfortable
ride possible and allow you to exercise efficiently. Using the bike
when it is incorrectly adjusted can result in unnecessary discomfort
and increase your risk of injury.

Adjusting the Seat Height
1) Stand next to the Seat Post and adjust the seat to Hip height
2) Rotate the crank so that the pedals are
in the vertical position (12 & 6 o’clock)
3) Place your foot in the toe cage of the
pedal closest to the floor and mount the
bike
4) With one pedal at the 6 o’clock position you should just be
able to scrape the bottom of your heel on the top of the pedal
– this will allow for a slight bent to your knee when pedaling.
a) If your leg is too straight or your foot
cannot touch the pedal, you will need to lower the seat
b) If your leg is too bent, you will need to raise the seat
6) Dismount the bike and pull out the pop pin on the seat post
7) Slide the seat post up or down as necessary
8) When the seat is in the desired position, insert the pin into
the desired hole to secure the seat post and tighten the T
handle
9) Make note of the final position mark on the seat post for
future reference

ADJUSTING THE SEAT’S FORE/AFT POSITION
1) Sit on your bike with the cranks in the 3 & 9 o’clock
positions. A proper fore/aft position of the seat is achieved
when the small bump at the top of the shin on your forward
leg, directly below the knee cap (tibial tuberosity), is above
the pedal axle
2) Dismount to adjust the seat fore or aft for a better fit
3) Loosen the seat adjustment lever and slide the seat forward
or backward as desired; then tighten.
4) Note the final position mark under the seat for future
reference. (Repeat steps for seat height if necessary)

Adjusting the Handlebar height
1) Handlebar height is matter of preference. Start with the
handlebars at the same height as the seat.
2) Adjusting the handlebars higher will give the rider a more
upright position; lowering them will result in a more prone
position.
3) Dismount the bike and pull out the pop pin on the handlebar
post.
4) Raise or lower the handlebar by pulling up on the handlebar
and sliding the handlebar post up or down as desired. When
the handlebar is in the desired position, insert the pin into
the desired hole to
secure the seat post and tighten the T
handle
5) Note the final position mark on the handlebar post for future
reference.

GUIDELINES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Adjusting the handlebar’s Fore/Aft Position
1) Dismount the bike and loosen the handlebar forward/aft
adjustment lever and slide the handlebars either forward or aft
as desired. The forward/aft position should be set to allow
the rider to comfortably grasp the handlebars with a slight
bend at the elbow.
2) Tighten the adjustment lever clockwise to secure the
handlebar assembly. (Remember to use the ratchet feature of
the adjustment lever as necessary)
3) Note the final position mark for future reference
Pedal Strap Adjustment
1) Place the ball of each foot on the pedal and in the toe cage
such that the ball of the foot is centered over the pedal
spindle and under the strap
2) Rotate the cranks until one foot is in a position closest to you
3) To tighten the strap, pull up on the end of the strap until it fits
snugly over your shoe. Make sure that the strap is secure, but
not overly tight or pressing uncomfortably on your foot.
4) Repeat for the other foot
5) To loosen he pedal strap, press down on the clip that holds
the strap secure, and pull slightly outward
6) Release the clip to lock the strap into place
Now that you have established a riding position, take a few
minutes to ride the bike and determine that your position is
comfortable. Start pedaling at a slow pace with your toes and
knees pointed directly forward. Hold the grips lightly and in a
position that allows your shoulders and upper body to relax.
Pedal easily, at a low resistance, until you feel confident that you
could ride in that position for the duration of your workout.

GENERAL EXERCISE GUIDELINES

SETTING A GOAL
SETTING A GOALSETTING A GOAL
SETTING A GOAL
The first step to a successful exercise program is to set realistic
goals and objectives. Do you want an exercise program that is
geared to build muscle, maintain muscle tone, increase aerobic
capacity, or lose weight? In order to ensure that you fully receive
all the benefits of a sound exercise program, you need to first
identify the existence (if any) of risk factors that may influence
the design of your exercise program. Based upon a
comprehensive analysis of your personal exercise needs and
interests, you should then develop (or have developed for you by
a competent or trained professional) an individualized program
of exercise that is enjoyable, easy, and yet challenging. Your
greatest health benefit will come from a lifestyle change that
encourages a lifetime of physical activity.
One way to guarantee success in reaching your goal is to eat
correctly. A well-rounded diet provides the proteins,
carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water necessary for
good health. If you are unsure of your dietary needs, seek the
advice of your physician, an exercise professional, or visit your
local bookstore for more information on nutrition.
Flexibility Training
1
Achieving and maintaining an adequate range of motion should
always be objectives of a comprehensive exercise program. The
warm-up phase of your exercise session should include some type
of light warm-up activity to increase both your heart rate and your
body temperature, which is then followed by flexibility exercises
that are specifically designed to stretch the musculature around
your body’s major skeletal joints. Attempting to stretch a cold
muscle can be dangerous to the soft tissues surrounding the
muscle. No matter how controlled the movement, forcing a muscle
through a full range of motion (and
beyond) without appropriately
warming up is both unsafe and counterproductive.
Page 23
Page | 24
GENERAL EXERCISE GUIDELINES
GENERAL EXERCISE GUIDELINESGENERAL EXERCISE GUIDELINES
GENERAL EXERCISE GUIDELINES
A general exercise program for achieving and maintaining
flexibility should adhere to the following guidelines:
Frequency Daily
Intensity To a position of mild discomfort
Duration 10-30 seconds for each stretch
Repetitions 2-6 for each stretch
Type Static, with a major emphasis on the low back and
hamstrings area because of the high prevalence of
low-back pain syndrome in our society
Exercise Principles
1
The American College of Sports Medicine has developed a
position paper concerning exercise programs for healthy adults
and the need for guidelines. The following recommendations
concern the quantity and quality of (exercise) training for
developing and maintaining cardiovascular fitness in a healthy
adult:
Frequency 3-5 days per week
Intensity 50% - 85% of maximum oxygen uptake
(VO2 max)
Duration 20 to 60 minutes of continuous aerobic
activity
Mode of Activity Any activity that uses the large muscle
groups, that can be maintained continuously,
and is rhythmical and aerobic in nature
Rate of Progression
Initial Conditions 4-6 weeks: low end intensity
(40% - 60% VO2 max)
Improvement
Stage
6 weeks to 6 months: moderate intensity,
moderate duration
