How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years, or are overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment;
a few minutes per workout increase is advisable.

Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic fitness
will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to work
at your own pace.

Please remember these essentials:

• Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.

• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.

• Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.

• Set up your equipment on a flat even surface with adequate training area, as prescribed in this manual.

Exercise intensity

To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise at an appropriate intensity. The intensity
level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should
be maintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as
your target zone. You can find your target zone in the table below.

180

160

120

100

25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 70

Age

During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your target zone

as you exercise. After a few months, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of
your target zone as you exercise.

To measure your heart rate, stop exercising but continue moving your legs or
walking around and place two fingers on your wrist. Take a six-second heartbeat
count and multiply the results by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your
six-second heartbeat count is 14, your head rate is 140 beats per minute.
(A six-second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you
stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the
required level.

Exercising Information

Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart - your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic
exercise fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs, or buttock, for example).
Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise
routine.

Weight Training

Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store,
weight training is an essential part of the exercise routine process. Weight training helps tone, build and
strengthen muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lower number of reps.
As always, consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program.

Targeted Muscle Groups

The exercise routine that is performed on this exercise bike will develop the upper and lower body
muscle groups. These muscle groups are highlighted on the muscle chart below.

Muscle Chart

Warming up and Cooling down exercises

14

Exercising Information

Each workout should include the following three parts:

1. A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up
increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

2. Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)

3. A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.

Exercise Frequency

To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
