IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this machine

CAUTION:

Exercise of a strenuous nature, as is customarily done on this equipment, should not be undertaken without first consulting a physician.

No specific health claims are made or implied as they relate to the equipment.

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.

2)Monitor your heart rate while you exercise and keep your estimated pulse rate within your target heart rate zone. Follow the instructions on pages 17 and 18 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, wireless chest strap 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. Follow the instructions on page 10 for exercising in your bare or sock covered feet.

6)Breathe naturally, never holding your breath during an exercise.

7)Avoid over training. You should be able to carry on a conversation while exercising.

8)After an exercise session, cool down with slow walking and stretching.

9)This equipment should not be used by or near children.

10)Handicapped or disabled people must have medical approval before using this equipment and should be under close supervision when using any exercise equipment.

11)If you are taking medication which may affect your heart rate, a physician's advice is absolutely essential.

12)Use this equipment only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.

13)Only one person at a time should use this equipment.

14)Do not put hands, feet, or any foreign objects on or near this equipment when in use by others.

15)Always use this equipment on a level surface.

16)Never operate the equipment if the equipment is not functioning properly.

17)Start exercise slowly and gradually increase the amount of resistance.

18)If the user experiences dizziness, nausea, chest pain, or any other abnormal symptoms, stop exercise at once and consult a physician immediately.

19)Use caution not to pinch fingers or hands in moving parts when using the equipment.

20)Risk of electrical shock. This equipment is to be used only indoors and in a dry location.

INTRODUCTION

CONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING YOUR NEW BALANCE 5K 5100 UPRIGHT BIKE

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 your Upright 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 upright bike.

Retain this manual for future reference.
