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. As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance can be
increased gradually. The efficiency of your exercise can be measured by monitoring
your heart rate and your pulse 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
– Do not use the hand pulse sensors in combination with a heart rate
chest belt.
– If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound
when it is exceeded.
Heart rate measurement (heart rate chest belt)
The most accurate heart rate measurement is achieved with a heart rate chest belt.
The heart rate is measured by a heart rate receiver in combination with a heart rate
transmitter belt. Accurate heart measurement requires that the electrodes on the
transmitter belt are slight moist and constantly touching the skin. If the electrodes are
too dry or too moist, the heart rate measurement will become less accurate.
EN
14 BR3

WARNING
– If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician before using a heart
rate chest belt.
CAUTION
– If there are several heart rate measurement devices next to each
other, make sure that the distance between them is at least 1.5
metres.
– If there is only one heart rate receiver and several heart rate
transmitters, make sure that only one person with a transmitter is
within transmission range.
NOTE
– Do not use a heart rate chest belt in combination with the hand
pulse sensors.
– Always wear the heart rate chest belt under your clothes directly in
contact with your skin. Do not wear the heart rate chest belt above
your clothes. If you wear the heart rate chest belt above your
clothes, there will be no signal.
– If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound
when it is exceeded.
– The transmitter transmits the heart rate to the console up to a
distance of 1 metre. If the electrodes are not moist, the heart rate
will not appear on the display.
– Some fibers in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static
electricity which can prevent accurate heart rate measurement.
– Mobile phones, televisions and other electrical appliances create an
electromagnetic field which can prevent accurate heart rate
measurement.

Maximum heart rate (during training)
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate a person can safely achieve
through exercise stress. The following formula is used to calculate the average
maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The maximum heart rate varies from person to
person.
WARNING
– Make sure that you do not exceed your maximum heart rate during
your workout. If you belong to a risk group, consult a physician.
