GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
In the event that the bike becomes unstable during use, turn one or both of the level adjusters until
the bike is stable.
LEVELLING THE BICYCLE
Cross training is an excellent type of cardio-training that enables you to increase cardio-vascular and breathing
capacity whilst toning your entire body: buttocks, quadriceps, calves, the back, pectorals, biceps and core
abdominals.
Pedalling backwards increases work of buttocks and back of legs.
Endurance training enables you to burn more calories (ideal to lose weight, when associated with a balanced diet).

TROUBLESHOOTING
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. Keep
your back straight when using the product. Do not arch your back.
USAGE
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 resistance 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 exercise, 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 circumstances 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: sustained effort for 20 to 40 minutes.
This type of training targets significant reinforcement of the cardiac muscle and improved 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 resistance. 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 progressively bring the body to a state of res

Warming down
This corresponds to low-level activity; it is the gradual “resting” phase. WARMING DOWN returns your cardiovascular, respiratory and
circulatory systems and your muscles to normal functioning (thereby preventing undesirable side effects such as the build-up of lactic acid,
which is one of the major causes of muscle pain namely, cramps and stiffness).
Stretching
You should stretch after warming down. Stretching after exercise: Minimises MUSCULAR STIFFNESS caused by the build-up of.
