INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new 510Ic Computer-Controlled Indoor Cycle from
Diamondback Fitness. You have made a smart choice and are about to enjoy one of the most
effective and technically-advanced methods of cardio-vascular exercise available today.
Founded in 1991 as an off-shoot of the legendary bicycle division, Diamondback Fitness was
in many ways a complimentary addition to the Diamondback brand. One might even say this
extension grew as a natural evolution from classic outdoor bicycle usage toward indoor-based
cycling and cross training. It turns out many fitness enthusiasts were searching for ways to
maintain conditioning during times of inclement weather or were simply looking for new and
different crosstraining options.
This trend still continues today, twenty years later, as the strong Diamondback brand resonates
with both the boomers who grew up with the bicycles, as well as the younger generations riding
them today.
Diamondback Fitness continues to build upon this legendary brand identity by offering the cardio
enthusiast a full line of upright bikes, recumbents, indoor cycles, and elliptical trainers that offer
great value, high quality and intuitive & visually-pleasing design. Let’s just say, we are already
planning our next twenty years.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Good health is an exercise in common sense.
In the study tled, “The Surgeon General’s Call To AcƟon To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity”, the Surgeon
General indicates that 61% of American adults are either overweight or obese. The study indicates that being overweight
increases the risk of health problems, such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, type 2 diabetes among other afflicons.
The Surgeon General’s Healthy weight advice for consumers is:
• Aim for a healthy weight: Find your Body Mass Index (BMI) on the chart below.
• Be acve: Keep physically acve to balance the calories you consume.
• Eat well: Select sensible poron sizes.

Heart rate is an important key to your exercise.
The Surgeon General also released a report on physical acvity and health. This report dictates that exercise and fitness are
beneficial for a person’s health and reiterated the need for exercise as a key component of disease prevenon and healthier
living.
If exercise intensity is too low or too high, no gains will be made in fitness. If the intensity is too low, the stress levels are
ineffecve. If the intensity is too high, injury or fague may set your exercise program back as you try to recover.
The best way to determine exercise intensity is to accurately count your pulse during exercise. Your heart rate can easily be
determined by counng your pulse at the chest, wrist or at the carod artery on your neck. It is difficult to count your own pulse
during exercise, mainly because you cannot count fast enough to record an accurate rate. This Diamondback Fitness 510Ic is
equipped with contact heart rate sensors.

WORKOUT GUILDLINES
Calculated Maximum Heart Rate & Target Training Zone
Your calculated target heart rate, or the ideal intensity needed to improve cardiovascular fitness, depends primarily upon your
age rather than your current state of fitness. If the exercise intensity is too low or too high, only modest gains will be made
in strength and cardio-vascular fitness. A workout at a very low intensity will not offer maximum benefits. Conversely, if the
workout intensity is too high, injury or fague may slow the progression of your exercise goals as the body aempts to recover.
Note: It is most effecve to train at a heart rate between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. Maximum heart rate is
calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (esmated as 220 beats-per-minute minus your age).
To calculate your maximum heart rate and find the appropriate target training zone, use the following formulas. For example,
the following esmaon would be relevant for a 35 year-old user:
220 - Age = Maximum Heart Rate (220 - 35 = 185)
60% of Maximum Heart Rate (60% x 185 = 111bpm)
85% of Maximum Heart Rate (85% x 185 = 157bpm)
Based on these calculaons, the recommended heart rate training zone for this user would be between 111 Bpm – 157 Bpm.
The graph below displays the recommended heart rate training zone for users twenty years of age to seventy-five years of age.

WORKOUT GUILDLINES
WORKOUT QUALITY AND QUANTITY
It is recommended that you accumulate at least 30 minutes of physical acvity most days of the week. Physical acvity should be iniated
slowly and the intensity should be increased gradually. You should select acvies that you enjoy and can fit into your daily life. Having
Diamondback Fitness equipment at home certainly gives you the comfortable and convenient workout you want.
The American College of Sports Medicine makes the following recommendaons for the quanty and quality of training for developing and
maintaining cardio respiratory fitness in healthy adults:
• An acvity that uses large muscle groups, maintained connuously, and is rhythmical and aerobic in nature.
• Duraon: 20 to 60 minutes of connuous aerobic acvity, including a warm-up and cool-down period, for each exercise session.
• Frequency: 3 to 5 mes per week.
• Intensity: 60% to 85% of maximum heart rate.
In addion to aerobic exercise, strength training of moderate intensity twice per week is recommended. Women especially may benefit from
weight-bearing exercises. Select acvies you enjoy and can fit into daily life. Having Diamondback Fitness equipment at home offers you the
opportunity to work out without going to the gym.
Get a smart start on exercising
Anyone over the age of 35, as well as, younger persons who are overweight, should check with his/her physician before beginning any type of
exercise program. People who have diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or have led a sedentary
lifestyle should protect themselves with a medical check-up and a stress test, preferably administered during exercise by a health care
professional.
• Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and aerward to cool down.
• The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up muscles before a vigorous workout, and building your heart rate
slowly.
• Aer your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually reducing your heart rate with a lower resistance level.
NOTE: Start slow, with intensity low unl you build up endurance and strength. Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise
program.

CONSOLE OVERVIEW & GENERAL NOTES
A primary feature of the 510Ic is the ability to control and monitor the user’s
workout program via the brilliant LCD console. At any me, the user may view
their speed, RPM, elapsed me, distance, Was, calories and pulse rate.
Connect the included power supply/adaptor to a 120V power source. Plug the
opposite end into the 510Ic power input jack found midway up at the rear of
the machine. To avoid damage and danger, use only the power supply/adaptor
that was designed for the 510Ic. DBF Part # 22-22-1810 - 9V DC 500mA
To provide power to the display console and computer, begin pedaling at a rate
exceeding fieen (15) revoluons per minute.
To conserve energy, the console will automacally power down aer sixty (60)
seconds of inacvity.
