This product is DIS compatible.
You have chosen a piece of fitness equipment by DOMYOS. We thank you for your confidence in us. We have created the DOMYOS
brand to provide a way for all athletes to stay in shape. This product has been designed by athletes for athletes. We would be pleased
to receive your comments and suggestions concerning DOMYOS products. Therefore, your store team is ready to listen, as is
the DOMYOS products design department. You can also find us at www.DOMYOS.com. We wish you successful training and hope
that you will enjoy using this DOMYOS product.
This product is a new-generation fitness device. It is equipped with a magnetic resistance system for optimal, silent and smooth pedalling
comfort. This product combines the circular movements of cycling, the horizontal movements of running and the vertical movements of
stepping. The elliptical movement of your legs combined with arm movements develops your buttock muscles, quadriceps, calves, back
muscles, pectorals and biceps. The elliptical bike is an excellent form of cardiovascular exercise. The elliptical device helps you to tone
your legs, buttocks and upper body (chest, back and arms). Your calf muscles and lower abs are also involved in the workout.
You can concentrate work on your buttocks by pedalling backwards. Training on this apparatus will increase your cardiovascular
capacity. This will help to improve your physical fitness and your endurance, and you will also burn calories (a necessary
step in losing weight, in conjunction with a diet).

LEVELLING THE BICYCLE
WARNING : you must get off the elliptical bike to adjust the level
of the product.
In the event that the bike becomes unstable during use, turn one or both of the
level adjusters until the bike is stable.
ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE
According to the EN (European Norm) definition, this product is an item of
“pedal crank training equipment”.
You can adjust the braking torque not only with your pedalling speed but
also by manually choosing your resistance level (by turning the torque control
knob on non-motorised products and by pressing the +/- buttons on motorised
products).
However, if you retain the same level of resistance, the braking torque will
increase/decrease as your pedalling speed increases and decreases.
SAFE ACCESS
Ensure that it is safe to climb on and off the product by locking the handles and
pedals with the thumb wheel.
ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE PEDALS
You can adjust the position of the pedals during assembly.
You have three adjustment positions:
Forward: closest to the handlebar.
Centre.
Rear: furthest from the handlebar.
The optimal set position is the central position.
However, in order to boost performance and best adapt
to your body shape, this setting will optimise your position on the elliptical bike.
The forward position will perfectly suit people under 175cm in
height and the rear position will particularly suit people over 185cm in height.

ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING : You must get off the elliptical bike to move it in any way.
Standing on the floor in front of your product, hold the handlebars and pull the bike towards you. The product is then resting on the castors
and you can move it. When you have finished moving it, move down to the floor with the rear legs.
Use a soft cloth to remove dust.
Persistent stains (like sweat) can be removed with a slightly damp cloth.

ENGLISH
Cardio training is aerobic exercise (muscle development using oxygen); it enables you to improve your cardiovascular capacity.
More specifically, you improve the tone of your heart muscle and blood vessels.
Cardiovascular training takes 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.
Taking your pulse regularly while exercising is essential for controlling
your training.
If you don’t have an electronic measuring instrument, this is how you do
it:
To take your pulse, place 2 fingers over:
your neck, beneath the ear, or inside the wrist next to the thumb
Don’t press too hard:
Pressing too hard lessens the blood flow and can slow down the heart
rhythm.
After counting the beats for 30 seconds, multiply by 2 to get the number
of beats per minute.
Example:
A count of 75 beats gives 150 beats/minute
CONTROL YOUR PULSE RATE
CARDIO-TRAINING
A – Warm-up phase: progressive effort
The warm-up is the preparatory phase for exercise and gets your body
COMPLETELY READY to start working out.
It is a way to PREVENT INJURIES TO TENDONS AND MUSCLES.
It involves two stages:
WAKING UP THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM, AND OVERALL WARM-UP.
1) You wake up your muscles with a SERIES OF SPECIFIC STRETCHES that
PREPARE YOU FOR EXERCISE: every muscle group is used, and the joints
are stimulated.
2) The overall warm-up makes it possible to put the cardio-vascular and
respiratory system into action gradually, for a better blood supply to
the muscles and better preparation for the exercise. It should be long
enough: 10 minutes for a recreational sport, and 20 minutes for a com-
petitive sport. Note that you should warm up for longer: in the morning
and if you are over 55.
B – Training
The workout is the main phase of your physical activity.
By working out on a REGULAR basis, you can improve your physical fitness.
• Anaerobic work for improving endurance.
• Aerobic work for improving cardio-pulmonary strength.
C – Warming down
This corresponds to low-level activity; it is the gradual “resting” phase. WAR-
MING DOWN returns your cardiovascular, respiratory and circulatory sys-
tems 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).
D - Stretching
You should stretch after warming down. Stretching after exercise: Minimises
MUSCULAR STIFFNESS caused by the build-up of.
PHASES OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
• Training at 80 to 90% and over of maximum heart rate: Anaerobic and red zones reserved for competitive, specialist
athletes.
• Training at 70 to 80% of maximum heart rate: Endurance training.
• Training at 60 to 70% of maximum heart rate: Getting fit/Burning off fat.
• Training at 50 to 60% of maximum heart rate: Staying in shape/Warm-up.

CARDIOVASCULAR TRAINING: EXERCISE ZONE

31
ENGLISH
If you are just starting out, begin by exercising for several days at a low resistance and speed, without forcing it, taking breaks if necessary.
Gradually increase the number or duration of the sessions.
Maintenance/Warm-up: Gradual effort
starting with 10 minutes.
For maintenance work to keep yourself in shape or
get back into shape, you can train every day for
about ten minutes.
This type of exercise will wake up your muscles
and joints, or it can be used as a warm-up before
another type of physical activity.
To increase muscle tone in the legs, choose a
greater resistance and increase the duration of the
exercise.
Obviously, you can vary the pedalling resistance
over the course of your workout.
Aerobic exercise for getting into shape:
Moderate effort for a relatively long time
(35 minutes to 1 hour).
If you wish to lose weight, this type of exercise,
combined with a diet, is the only way to increase
the amount of energy your body consumes. To
do so, there is no need to push yourself beyond
these limits. Training on a regular basis is what
will produce the best results.
Choose a relatively low pedalling resistance and
do the exercise at your own pace, but for at least
30 minutes.
This exercise should cause you to build up a mild
sweat, but it certainly should not leave you out of
breath.
It is the duration of the exercise at a slow pace
that will cause your body to dip into your fat
reserves to get its energy, as long as you pedal
for more than about thirty minutes at least three
times a week.
Aerobic training for endurance: Sustained
effort for 20 to 40 minutes.
This type of training aims to strengthen the heart
muscles significantly and improve respiration.
Pedalling resistance and/or speed is increased
in order to increase breathing speed during the
workout session.
This type of exercise is more sustained than when
you are working out to get into shape.
Little by little, as you train, you will be able to
work out for longer, at a faster pace or with a
higher resistance.
You can do this type of workout at least three
times a week.
After each workout, set aside several minutes to
pedal at a lower speed and resistance, to slow
down and gradually relax your body.
