Workouts

The workout must be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fitness. You should perspire, but you should not get out of breath during the workout. To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time. Increase the number of exercise sessions to improve your fitness level. It is worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A person committed to dieting should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. Start your workout at low speed and low resistance to prevent the cardiovascular system from being subjected to excessive strain.

Using your fitness trainer will provide you with several benefits, it will improve your physical fitness, tone muscle and in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet help you lose weight.

The warming up phase

This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also reduce the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch - if it hurts, STOP

The exercise phase

This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become more flexible. Work to your but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate of work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat into the target zone shown on the graph below.

AGE

This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most people start at about 15-20 minutes

The cool down phase

This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch. As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.

Muscle toning

To tone muscle while on your fitness trainer you will need to have the resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training program. You should train as normal during the

warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase resistance making your legs work harder. You will have to reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.

The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work the more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve your fitness, the difference is the goal.

Heart rate

Pulse rate measurement (hand pulse sensors)

The pulse rate is measured by sensors in the handlebars when the user is touching both sensors at the same time. Accurate pulse measurement requires that the skin is slightly moist and constantly touching the hand pulse sensors. If the skin is too dry or too moist, the pulse rate measurement will become less accurate.

NOTE
