Before You Begin

Congratulations for selecting the RB3000 exercise cycle from
Reebok. Whether you are an accomplished athlete seeking to
maintain peak performance or a beginner realising the benefits
of exercise for the first time, the RB3000 will help you to achieve
your goals. In the “Hints to Help You” section of this manual we
have outlined some tips that we hope will help you maximise the
effectiveness and fun of your workouts.

In the meantime, remember that the benefits of exercise are many
and varied including higher energy levels, reduced stress, improved
self-esteem, clearer and more radiant skin, greater cardiovascular
efficiency, higher metabolic rate, and improved body posture - all
of which can result in a longer and more enjoyable life.

Whilst purchasing the RB3000 will not do all of this alone, it is an
important step towards understanding and achieving the benefits of
exercise. Well done!

All Reebok products are manufactured to the highest
specifications and this instruction manual should enable
you to assemble the RB3000 and commence your workout
programme. If, however, you have any additional
questions, please call our Customer Service Department on
[phone]. To help us assist you, please

How to Operate the Heart Rate Sensors

To measure your pulse, place both hands on the pulse sensors as
shown. Grip for five to ten seconds, the heart rate symbol will flash
and your heart rate will then be shown. Continue to grip the sensors
to obtain a continual reading. If the displayed pulse appears to be
too high or too low, or if your pulse is not displayed, lift your hands
off the sensors and allow the display to reset. Grip again on the
sensors as described above. Try the sensors several times until you
become familiar with it. The RB3000 Heart Rate facility is
compatible with the Reebok Heart Monitors transmitter belts.

How to Stabilise your RB3000

If your floor is uneven and your bike unstable you need to rotate the
end caps on the rear foot until your bike is no longer unstable.

Motor Protection

1 Whenever you turn the power switch ON, the computer will

check if the small motor is at level 0. If not, the monitor will
send a signal to the driver motor to set it to 0. If there is no
response from the motor, the console will display an “E”.

2 If, during exercise, you press the + or - key to adjust the

workout level and the motor does not respond after 3 attempts,
the monitor will display an “E” and generate a beeping sound.
Press the START/PAUSE key to stop the beeping.

If either of the above occurs, check first that all the connections
between the monitor and the motor are correct and that the motor is
working. Then restart the monitor. If the monitor still displays an “E”
and continues to beep call our customer service department.

LCD Contrast Calibration

1 In STOP mode, press and hold the ENTER and + keys

simultaneously for at least 2 seconds to enter the LCD

CONTRAST CALIBRATION mode.
2 Press the + or - key to adjust the LCD contrast.
3 Press the START/PAUSE key to exit the LCD CONTRAST

CALIBRATION mode.
4 There are 16 different LCD contrast levels. (the automatic

default level is medium contrast).

Note

1 The LCD will shut off automatically after 4 minutes if no signal

is transmitted to the computer.
2 The computer will start beeping as soon as any preset target

values count down to zero.
3 Press and hold the “Mode” button for 4 seconds to reset all

functions except speed.

How to Adjust the Seat

For effective exercise, the saddle (18) 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 saddle,
first hold the saddle and unscrew the seat knob (19). Align one of
the holes in the saddle post (16) with the hole in the Base Frame
(1). Insert the seat knob into the frame and the saddle post and
tighten the seat knob into the frame.

How to Transport the RE2000

Lift the RB3000 to 45º so that the transportation wheels point downwards and to the front, and use the
fixed handlebar to move it.

Heart Rate Training

In the normal course of our everyday lives our bodies use oxygen to convert nutrients from our food
intake into energy for muscle movement and body functions. The amount of energy used is measured
in calories. Broadly speaking if we burn more calories than we consume then our body will require
additional fuel and will use calories stored as fat. This will lead to a reduced ratio of fat to lean
muscle tissue in our body composition and a leaner, fitter appearance.

As we exercise, our heart rate has to increase in order to deliver sufficient oxygen to the working
muscles. Regular cardiovascular exercise, such as cycling, results in a stronger heart and lungs that
are more efficient at delivering oxygen to muscles which, in turn, are more efficient at converting
calories into energy.

It is however, imperative that you accurately determine the target heart rate within which to train in
order that you may improve your fitness at a safe, comfortable and sustainable level.

Start by determining your approximate Maximum Heart Rate (MHR). This is the fastest your heart
can beat, measured in beats per minute. Whilst there are sophisticated ways to measure MHR,
an acceptable approximation can be made using the following calculation:

Males Estimated Max MHR = 220 – Age
Females Estimated Max MHR = 226 – Age

Finally, use the Reebok University Training Pyramid on the next page to determine the level at which
you should be exercising based upon your MHR. This level should be maintained using either the
cycle’s heart rate grip sensors or a Reebok Heart Rate Monitor.

Caution: Make sure to insert the
seat knob through one of the holes
in the saddle post; do not insert the
seat knob under the saddle post.

Hints to Help You Achieve Your Goals

Always use your RB3000 in the correct manner and sitting in the correct bio-mechanical position
incorrect use may lead to injury.

There are a vast number of benefits to exercising. They include improved sleeping patterns, increased
metabolic rate due to the higher ratio of lean muscle tissue to fat (thereby burning calories even when
not working out), improved posture reducing risk of back pain, denser bone mass reducing risk of
osteoporosis, clearer skin and the improved self-esteem that go with all of these. Do not use weight
loss as your only measure of success. Your mirror is a much better indicator than your scales.

Don’t set unrealistic goals at the outset of your exercise programme. This could lead to muscle soreness
and de-motivation. Instead use the cycle for no more than 20 minutes three times a week to allow your
body to recover, and monitor your exertion level using the heart rate grips and the tables above.
Remember, you’re changing your life, take time to do it properly.

Don’t try to immediately change your entire lifestyle to get fitter. Incremental change is far easier and
more sustainable. Don’t try to give up fatty foods, alcohol, late nights and start a gruelling exercise
regime all on the same day. Take it one step at a time, ensure the changes you make genuinely
become part of your lifestyle and don’t chastise yourself for backsliding occasionally.

Understand the other elements of your daily life that can help or hinder you in achieving your goals.
Nutrition is vitally important in affecting your general well-being with regard to the type of food you
eat and when you eat it. Also, there are many opportunities during your normal day when your current
habits could be substituted for healthier practices. Instead of taking the lift, take the stairs and instead
of sitting over a long lunch, take a brisk walk and eat an apple. Even if you only do it one day of the
week it all helps.

Training with Reebok University

Established in 1993, Reebok University brings together some of the
world’s leading fitness professionals and provides you with access
to the latest research in the health and fitness industry. Reebok
University has developed a unique fitness programme with the
Reebok Heart Rate Monitor as its cornerstone - the Reebok University
Training Pyramid. Incorporating all the essential principles of exercise,
the training pyramid utilises four distinct training levels based on
varying exercise intensities as measured by your heart rate.

Using the table below, select the training level that best describes
your specific fitness goals. Then refer to the pyramid to determine
the duration as well as the exercise intensity (% of maximum heart
rate) of your workout programme.

As a guide, Reebok University recommend that beginners work out
in the Active Lifestyle range for the first eight weeks of their training.
After that you will be able to design your own exercise programme
to suit your preferences and objectives.

How to Maintain the RB3000

Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle regularly. Replace
any worn parts immediately.

For continued smooth operation of the exercise cycle, the Front and
Rear Stabilisers should be kept clean. Using a soft cloth and mild
detergent, clean any dust and residue that may build up where the
Wheels move on the Stabilisers. Other components of the exercise
cycle can also be cleaned in this manner.

IMPORTANT: Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the exercise
cycle. To prevent damage to the computer, keep liquids away and
keep it out of direct sunlight.
