Greg LeMond, three-time Tour de France Champion, is the force behind the inspiration and design of
this remarkable indoor bike. Greg’s story is one of courage and heroic accomplishment. In 1986, Greg
became the rst American to win the longest and most physically demanding event in the world — the
Tour de France. Only nine months later in April of 1987, he narrowly escaped death when he was accidentally shot in a hunting accident. During a long and painful rehabilitation, he set a goal that many
considered inconceivable: to once again win the Tour de France. In 1989, he achieved that goal and then
proved it was no mere stroke of luck by winning the Tour a third time in 1990.
A legendary athlete, Greg introduced many cycling innovations during his racing career. Just as aero
bars are now commonplace, the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC will be the new standard in indoor tness
bikes. The HOIST® LeMond® Series RC combines Greg’s passion for cycling with exceptional product
innovation. Built to deliver an incredible workout, every component of the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC
has been designed to be more innovative, user friendly and comfortable than any other indoor bike you
have ridden. Whether you are a beginning tness enthusiast or a highly conditioned athlete, you will
immediately feel the dierence.

BEFORE GETTING STARTED
It is always important to consult a physician for a complete physical examination before starting any
exercise program. Beyond identifying any risk factors you may have, your health professional can assist
you in developing an exercise program which establishes the frequency and intensity appropriate for
your age and current health status.
The HOIST® LeMond® Series RC is an excellent choice for all tness levels, including overweight or
severely unconditioned individuals in that it provides more seat adjustability and the lowest pedaling requirement of all other tness recumbent bikes. However, if you consider yourself such an individual, you
should still exercise caution when using this equipment for the rst time. Overexertion or the possibility
of injury exists when starting any new exercise program.
WARNING: If at any time during a workout, you experience pain or tightness in
!
the chest, an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, feel faint or severe
discomfort of any kind, STOP exercising immediately. Consult your physician
before continuing your program.

SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE HOIST® LeMond® Series RC
SETTING UP YOUR BIKE
Taking a moment to learn how to set up your HOIST® LeMond® Series RC correctly will make your
workouts a more pleasant experience. The design of the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC provides more
seat adjustability than any other recumbent available. Making full use of this feature will give you the
most comfortable ride possible and ensure maximum exercise eciency. Using the bike in an incorrect
position can result in unnecessary discomfort and increase the risk of injury.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
To nd the correct seat position for you, sit on the seat and place the ball of your foot on the center of
the pedal. Your knee should remain slightly bent when the pedal is in the farthest position away from
you. You should be able to complete the entire pedal rotation without locking the knees and without
dramatically shifting your weight from side to side.
Adjusting the Fore/Aft Position
The HOIST® LeMond® Series RC is designed to be used by adults from 58 in (147.3 cm) to 80 in (203.2
cm) tall. The seat rail has 20 locking positions to choose from.
1. Place the pedal in the forward position. Sit comfortably on the seat with the ball of your foot on the
center of the pedal.
2. If the knee is locked, move the seat forward. If the knee is bent too much, move the seat backward.
Your knee should remain slightly bent when the pedal is in the farthest position away from you.
Your leg angle should be approximately 150 degrees (30 degrees less than full extension) when the
pedal is at the most forward point for proper ergonomic position.
3. To move the seat, simply pull up on the wrap-around lever that is below the front of the seat. With
the handle held in the upward position, slide the seat forward or backward to the correct position
then release the lever and the seat will click in place.
Adjusting the Seat Angle
Seat angle adjustment is a feature that is unique to the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC. This adjustability
allows you to nd the most comfortable riding position for your specic body type. It also oers you ve
(5) riding positions to ne-tune your angle in a way that no other recumbent bike can. Correct positioning on the bike will help prevent over-use injuries and keep you moving forward in achieving your
tness goals.
1. To change the angle of the seat, simply pull up on one of the yellow handles located on each side of
the seat carriage.
2. While holding either handle up, adjust the tilt angle of the seat by shifting your weight forward or
backward until you nd the most comfortable pedaling position.
3. After establishing your optimal seat angle, release the handle to its original position.
Note:
Once you have found the seat angle position that is most comfortable for you, it may be necessary to
readjust the fore/aft position of the seat. Remember that your knee should not lock when the pedal is
in the most forward position.

SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE HOIST® LeMond® Series RC
FOOT POSITIONING
For greatest pedaling eciency, the ball of the foot should be placed over the center of the pedal. This
may feel awkward or unnatural at rst, but it is to your benet to maintain a foot position that maximizes
your exercising eciency. After a short while, this position will begin to feel quite comfortable. Avoid
pedaling the bike with the arch of your foot centered on the pedal of the bike. Although this may seem
like a comfortable position, the arch of the foot has far less support than the ball of the foot. Pedaling for
long distances or extended periods of time with the pedal centered on the arch of the foot may cause
unnecessary pain and could lead to a more extensive injury.
As you become more familiar with your new tness bike, you may want to consider a strapless/clip-in
pedal system such as the LeMond® Dual-Sided Indoor Cycling Pedal. This type of pedal has long been
used by professional and serious recreational cyclists to maximize the eciency of their pedal stroke and
keep the foot in the correct position.
PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT
The straps of the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC are designed to allow you to adjust the pedal to your
individual foot size. The pedals include spring-loaded, locking clips for easy adjustments. Follow the
steps below to adjust the straps so that your foot does not slip or slide about on the pedal.
1. Place the ball of each foot on the center of the pedal and under the strap.
2. Rotate the pedals until one foot is in the position closest to you.
3. To tighten the strap, simply pull down on the end of the strap until it ts snugly over your shoe.
Make sure that the strap is secure, but not overly tight or pressing uncomfortably on your foot.
4. Repeat these steps for the other foot.
5. To loosen the pedal strap, press down at the top of the clip that holds the strap secure and pull the
strap up. 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 conrm 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 condent that you could ride in that position comfortably
for the duration of your workout.

GUIDELINES FOR AN EFFECTIVE EXERCISE PROGRAM
GUIDELINES FOR EFFECTIVE EXERCISE
Often, the toughest, but most important step, of any exercise program is simply getting started. By
purchasing the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC, you have already achieved what many people are still
struggling with: making the commitment to leading a more fullling life by including a program of
physical activity.
Congratulations on accomplishing the rst step towards a healthier and more satisfying future.
SETTING A GOAL AND DEFINING OBJECTIVES
An important step in a successful exercise program is to set achievable goals and objectives. Regardless
of your current physical condition, you need to establish a workable plan to reach your tness goals.
Begin by asking yourself a few basic questions. Are you just beginning an exercise program and wishing
to change your lifestyle from sedentary to physically active, or are your goals to enhance your current
tness levels? What are your primary objectives? Is your program to be geared toward losing weight,
increasing aerobic capacity, maintaining or building muscle tone, or perhaps all three?
In order to ensure that you fully receive all benets associated with a sound exercise program, you
should rst identify any risk factors that may inuence the design of your exercise program. Your health
care professional should be the rst step in identifying risk factors that may need to be addressed in
establishing a program. Consider having a trained tness professional help you in developing an individualized program that is enjoyable and easily maintained, but still challenging enough to achieve your
desired results.
Remember that your greatest benet will come from an increased sense of well-being that comes along
with a lifestyle that includes physical activity. People who have already made physical tness a part of
their daily lives, will conrm that the benets of including physical activity in your life far outweigh the
inconvenience and time spent.
Any time you spend on your exercise program will reward you with increased energy, reduced stress, a
greater ability to focus and concentrate, and improved self-condence. You and the people you share
your life with will reap the rewards of your new lifestyle.
FLEXIBILITY TRAINING
Achieving and maintaining an adequate range of motion should always be included in a comprehensive
exercise program. Sucient exibility will increase your enjoyment and maximize the eectiveness of
exercising on the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC. It will also reduce discomfort while working out and
reduce the risk of injury. Always warm-up before stretching. Warm-up should include light activity to
increase both your heart rate and body temperature. Increasing your body temperature allows you
to stretch muscles more eectively and safely. Attempting to stretch a cold muscle is counterproductive and can lead to an injury that may interfere with the continuation of your tness program and can
postpone reaching your goals.

GUIDELINES FOR AN EFFECTIVE EXERCISE PROGRAM
GUIDELINES FOR EXERCISING ON THE HOIST® LeMond® Series RC
WARMING UP
A good warm-up is one of the most important and most frequently overlooked parts of an exercise
regimen. Without a proper warm-up, the muscles of the body are far more prone to injury. A good
warm-up prepares the body for the stress you will place your muscles under during your workout and
will decrease your chances of becoming injured. Muscles perform better when they are warmer than
normal body temperature. Always take the time to warm-up properly. It will decrease the discomfort
during exercise and will help you get the most out of your workout.
While a 5 to 10 minute warm-up is adequate for some people, others may need a longer warm-up period
to be physiologically ready for intense eorts. Because dierent people have dierent requirements
for an adequate warm-up, the workouts in the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC, do not include a specic
warm-up segment. Therefore please allow yourself to warm up for a period of time and at a resistance
level that is appropriate for you.
Take the time to learn what your personal requirements are for warming up. Pedal slowly and at a low
resistance at rst, gradually increasing your pedal speed until you feel the muscles in your legs begin to
relax. Slowly increase your heart rate to about 110-120 beats per minute. Once you have warmed up
suciently, begin your workout. Your workout will be more enjoyable and more productive.
FREQUENCY
How often should you exercise? The number of times per week that you engage in aerobic exercise
depends largely on what your goals are and your current tness level. People new to an active lifestyle
are more likely to keep with it if they start gradually. Beginners might consider a weekly schedule that
includes days o. Seasoned athletes may workout almost every day, but even these athletes know that
easy days are essential for muscular and mental recovery. Work towards a goal of including exercise at
least 3 to 5 days per week.
INTENSITY
How hard should you exercise? Again, the intensity of your workout will reect your goals and your
current tness level. To achieve the greatest cardiovascular benet, and to see the most improvement in
weight loss and physical tone, you must raise your heart rate into your target zone. Your target zone is
generally between 55 to 85% of your maximum heart rate. Training in this zone is what is referred to by
exercise scientists as ‘aerobic exercise’. The CONSTANT HR program in the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC
is programmed to help you exercise in the middle of this zone by maintaining your heart rate at 70% of
you maximum heart rate.
DURATION
How long should you exercise? You should aim to complete 20 to 60 minutes of continuous activity in
your aerobic exercise zone. Keep in mind that this does not include warm-up or cool-down. A 30 minute
workout with 10 minutes warm-up and 10 minutes cool-down, ve days a week, should result in noticeable improvement in physical conditioning.
