OPERATION

 Seat Adjustment

Proper seat height ensures maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury.

1. Place one pedal in the down position , and center the ball of your foot over the center of the pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee. (Fig. 1) If you leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the pedal, you will need to lower the seat. If your leg is too bent, you will need to raise the seat.

2. Dismount the bike. unscrew the adjustment knob on the seat tube and pull out the locking pin. (Fig. 2) Lower or raise the seat to the desired height. Allow the locking pin to engage and fully tighten in place.

 Lower Body Workout

Once you are in position and sitting comfortably, slowly begin pedaling with your arms relaxed at your sides or with your hands resting on the hand grips as the arm levers move. Pedal at an easy pace until you feel secure and comfortable. To increase the air resistance and workload, increase your pedaling speed.
