HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE
HOW TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT AND THE LATERAL
POSITION OF THE SEAT
For effective exercise,
the seat should be at the
proper height. As you
pedal, there should be a
slight bend in your knees
when the pedals are in
the lowest position. To
adjust the height of the
seat, rst loosen the seat
post knob. Next, pull the
knob, slide the seat post
upward or downward to the desired position, and
then release the knob. Move the seat post upward
or downward slightly to make sure that the knob is
engaged in one of the adjustment holes in the seat
post. Then, tighten the knob.

the seat knob a few turns. Then, move the seat
forward or backward to the desired position, and
rmly tighten the seat knob
HOW TO ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE
HANDLEBAR
To adjust the angle
of the handlebar,
loosen the pivot handle,
rotate the handlebar

HOW TO MESURE YOUR HEART RATE
Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure you heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor.
If there are sheets of plastic on the metal contacts
Contact
on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the plastic.
In addition, make sure that your hands are clean.
To measure your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse
sensor with your palms resting against the metal
contacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the
contacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will
be shown in the display. For the most accurate
heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15
seconds.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended
only as an exercise aid in determining heart
rate trends in general.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use
your heart rate as a guide to nd the proper intensity
level. The chart below shows recommended heart
rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the rst few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only af-
ter the rst few minutes of exercise does your body
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your
goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in
your training one. For maximum fat burning, exercise
with your heart rate near the middle number in your
training zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
he rst few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as
you exercise–never hold your breath.
To nd the proper intensity level, nd your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age dene your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is
the heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the exibility of your
muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular ex-
ercise, you may complete up to ve workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
