IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1) Before starting this or any other exercise

program, consult your physician, who can assist you in determining the target heart rate zone appropriate for your age and physical condition. Certain exercise programs or types of equipment may not be appropriate for all people. This is especially important for people over the age of 35, pregnant women, or those with pre-existing health problems or balance impairments.

keep your estimated pulse rate within your target heart rate zone. Follow the instructions on pages 17-19 in this manual regarding heart rate monitoring and how to determine your appropriate target heart rate zone. When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided.

3) Warm up before any exercise program by

doing 5-10 minutes of aerobic activity, followed by stretching.

4) Wear comfortable clothes that allow freedom of

movement and that are not tight or restricting.

5) Wear comfortable shoes made of good support

with non-slip soles.

With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start your own workout program to tone and firm the major muscle groups of your lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is toning, health maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.

Proper exercise, including a low fat diet, strength training and aerobic exercise, tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand, walk, lift and turn. It can actually transform our body composition by reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in our bodies. Using the bike will help in reducing body fat and increasing cardiovascular endurance.

Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.

It is the authoritative source of information about your Recumbent Bike.

Retain this manual for future reference.
