exercise is suitable for you from a health perspective. Particularly aected are persons who:
have a hereditary disposition to high blood pressure or heart disease, are over the age of 45,
smoke, have high cholesterol values, are overweight and/or have not exercised regularly in
the past year. If you are under medical treatment that aects your heart rate, medical advice
is absolutely essential.

+ Note that excessive training can seriously endanger your health. Please also note that

heart rate monitoring systems can be inaccurate. If you notice any signs of weakness,
nausea, dizziness, pain, shortness of breath, or other abnormal symptoms, stop exercising
immediately and seek advice from your doctor if necessary.

⚠ WARNING

pedals will turn with it. To prevent knee injuries, do not stop the machine by trying to

reverse the course of motion with force. Also do not attempt to remove your feet while the

pedals are still turning. The course of movement can be stopped with the emergency brake

or through a controlled reduction of your RPM (revolutions per minute).

⚠ CAUTION

+ If your equipment needs to be connected to the power supply with a mains cable, make

sure that the cable is not a potential tripping hazard.
