OPERATING DIAGRAM
1. Remove the console from its base, take off the battery lid located
on the back of the product and insert two AA or UM-3 batteries
into the battery compartment behind the screen.
2. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly and that they are
flush with the springs.
3. Put the battery lid back on and check to ensure that it is secure.
4. If the display is illegible or partial, remove the batteries, wait
15 seconds and then put them back in.
5. If you remove the batteries, the computer memory is erased.
RECYCLING:
The “crossed-out wastebasket” symbol indicates that this product and the
batteries it contains cannot be thrown away with household waste. They are
subject to a specific type of sorting. Deposit the batteries and your end-of-life
electronic product in an authorized collection area for recycling. This treatment
of your electronic waste will protect the environment and your health.
- If the counter is not indicating the right units of measure for distance,
check that the switch on the back of the console is in the Mi position for
a display in miles and in Km for a display in kilometers. Remove the
batteries and reinsert them to make the change take effect.
- If the distance or speed is abnormal, check that the switch on the back
of the console is in the VM position for magnetic bikes and in VE position
for elliptical bikes.
On magnetic bikes, each pedal revolution corresponds to a distance of
4 meters / 13.12 feet, and on elliptical bikes, 2 movements correspond
to a distance of 1.6 meters / 5.25 feet (these values correspond to
average values when riding or walking).
- If the heart rate indicator (9) is not flashing or is flashing erratically,
check that your hands are positioned properly and that the sensors are
not too moist
If the counter does not turn on:
- verify that the batteries are in the right +/-position

Warm-up stage: progressive effort
The warm-up is the preparatory phase for exercise and gets your
body FULLY READY to start working out. It is a way to PREVENT
INJURIES TO TENDONS AND MUSCLES. It involves two steps:
WAKING UP THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM, AND OVERALL WARM-
UP.
1) The muscles are awakened by means of a SERIES OF SPECIFIC
STRETCHES that make it possible to PREPARE FOR THE WOR-
KOUT: every muscle group is brought into play, and the joints
are stimulated.
2) The overall warm-up makes it possible to put the cardio-vascu-
lar and respiratory system into action progressively, for a bet-
ter blood supply to the muscles and better preparation for the
effort. It should be long enough: 10 minutes for a recreational
sport, and 20 minutes for a competitive sport. Note that the
warm-up should be longer for people age 55 and older, and in
the morning.
Training
The workout is the main phase of your physical activity. By wor-
king out on a REGULAR basis, you can improve your physical fit-
ness.
• Anaerobic work for developing endurance.
• Aerobic work for developing cardio-pulmonary strength.
Return to rest
This corresponds to low-level activity; it is the progressive “resting”
phase. WARMING DOWN brings your cardiovascular, respirato-
ry and circulatory systems and your muscles back to normal func-
tioning (thereby preventing undesirable side effects such as lactic
acid, the accumulation of which is one of the major causes of mus-
cle pain namely, cramps and stiffness).
Stretching
Stretching must follow the warm-down phase, while your joints are
still warm, in order to reduce the risk of injury. Stretching after
exertion: minimizes MUSCLE STIFFNESS due to the accumulation
of LACTIC ACID, and stimulates BLOOD CIRCULATION.
CARDIO-TRAINING
AB
C
D
CARDIO TRAINING
Cardio training is aerobic exercise (muscle development in the presence of oxygen); it enables you to improve your cardiovascular capacity.
More specifically, you improve the tone of your heart muscle and blood vessels. Cardio training brings oxygen from the air you breathe into your
muscles. The heart pumps this oxygen throughout the entire body, and especially to the muscles that are doing the work.
PHASES OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

24
ENGLISH
The exercise bike provides an excellent kind of cardio-training activity. Training on this equipment is designed to increase your cardio-vascular
capacity. On this principle, you improve your physical condition, your endurance and you burn calories (an indispensable activity for weight
loss in association with dieting).
Finally, the exercise bike allows you to tone the muscles in the legs and buttocks.
The muscles in the calves and the lower abdominals are also worked.
PARTS OF THE BODY WORKED
Weight Maintenance/Warm-up:
progressive effort starting at 10
minutes.
For a workout designed either to keep you in
shape or for re-education purposes, you may
train every day for around ten minutes. This
type of exercise is designed to stimulate your
muscles and joints or may be used as a
warm-up to additional physical activity.
To increase the muscle tone of the legs, select
a higher resistance and lengthen the exercise
period.
Of course, you may vary the pedalling resis-
tance throughout your exercise session.
Aerobic fitness workout: moderate
effort for a fairly long period (35
min to 1 hour).
If you wish to lose weight, this type of exerci-
se, combined with a diet, is the only way to
increase the quantity of energy consumed by
the organism. Nevertheless, it is pointless to
push yourself beyond your limits. It is the
regularity of training that will allow you to
obtain the best results.
Select a fairly weak pedalling resistance and
exercise at your own rhythm, but at least for
a period of 30 minutes. This exercise should
raise a slight sweat but should under no cir-
cumstances leave you breathless. It’s the
duration of the exercise, at a slow rhythm,
that will require your organism to draw its
energy from your fat reserves provided that
you pedal for more than thirty minutes, a
minimum of three times a week.
Aerobic training for endurance: sus-
tained effort for 20 to 40 minutes.
This type of training targets significant rein-
forcement of the cardiac muscle and impro-
ved respiratory activity.
The resistance and/or speed of pedalling is
increased so as to increase respiration during
the exercise. The effort here is more sustained
than for the maintenance workout.
As your training progresses, you will be able
to sustain the effort for longer periods, at a
faster rate or with a higher degree of resis-
tance. You may train a minimum of three
times a week for this type of training.
Training at a faster rate (anaerobic workout
and workout in the red zone) is reserved for
athletes and requires adequate preparation.
After each training session, take several
minutes to pedal with diminishing speed and
resistance in order to cool down and pro-
gressively bring the body to a state of rest.
When just starting out, begin by training over several days with a slight resistance and pedalling speed, without forcing, and taking rest breaks as
needed. Then progressively increase the frequency or duration of your exercise sessions.
