The VM600 is a bicycle for developing physical fitness that adapts to your morphology through various settings of the saddle and handlebar. You can thus pass from a
restful position handlebar raised, the back straight, to a sporting type position resting on the triathlete handlebar. This product is equipped with a magnetic transmission
for maximal cycling comfort without jolts.
The exercise bike is an excellent cardio-training activity. The exercise undertaken on this apparatus is intended to increase your cardio-vascular capacity. On the basis
of this principle, you improve your physical condition as well as your stamina, and you burn calories. (essential exercise whilst following a diet for weight loss.)
The exercise bike helps to tone the legs and the buttocks. The calf muscles and the lower abdominal muscles are also exercised.
PARTS OF THE BODY WORKED ON
USE
The Domyos VM600 is guaranteed 5 years against any flaws that may be the result of a manufacturing or material defect. This guarantee only covers private use within the home.
WARRANTY
INTRODUCTION
You have chosen a DOMYOS fitness machine and we wish to thank you for the trust you place with us. We created the
DOMYOS rand to ena le all sports aficionadoes to remain at peak fitness. This item was designed y sportsmen for sports-
men and women. We would very much appreciate receiving any of your comments and suggestions a out DOMYOS products.
To this aim, the staff at your local store and the DOMYOS design department are at your disposal. If you wish to write to us,
you can send us email at the following address: [email protected]. We wish you enjoya le training sessions and hope that
this DOMYOS item e a source of pleasure for you.
Adjust the height of the saddle y stretching your leg
with the knee slightly ent and the middle of your foot
just reaching the pedal in the lower position.
If you are a eginner, start y exercising for several
days with a slight resistance and weak pedal action,
without forcing, and resting if necessary. Gradually
increase the num er and length of your exercise
sessions.
MAINTENANCE / WARM UP :
Start with 10 minutes and gradually build up.
For maintenance work which is intended for maintaining
fitness or for physiotherapy, you can exercise every day for
about ten minutes. This type of exercise is intended to sti-
mulate your muscles and joints or it can be used as a warm
up prior to physical exercise.
To increase tonicity of the legs, choose a greater resistan-
ce and increase the exercise time.
Obviously, you can vary the pedal resistance throughout
your exercise session.
AEROBIC WORK FOR GETTING FIT :
Moderate effort for a fairly long period
(35min to 1 hour).
If you want to lose weight, this type of exercise in conjunc-
tion with diet, is the only means of increasing the amount
of energy used by the body. To achieve this, it is no use for-
cing yourself beyond these limits since the best results are
obtained through regular exercise.
Choose a relatively weak pedal resistance and exercise at
your own pace for a minimum of 30 minutes. This exerci-
se must induce a slight sweating but must not make you
breathless. It is the length and slow pace of the exercise
which will cause your body to dip into your fat reserves to
gain energy, providing you pedal for more than 30
minutes, three times per week minimum.
AEROBIC EXERCISE FOR ENDURANCE :
Sustained effort for 20 to 40 minutes
This type of exercise is intended to significantly strengthen
the cardiac muscle and improve respiration.
The resistance and/or pedal speed is increased so as to
increase the respiratory rate during the exercise.The effort
required is more sustained than that required for the wor-
kout for getting fit.
As you progress in your training, you will be able to sus-
tain this effort over a longer period, at a better rate, or with
a higher resistance. You can exercise for a minimum of
three times per week for this type of workout.
Exercise at a more forced pace (anaero ic work and work
in the red zone) is reserved for athletes and requires a pre-
paration adapted to this purpose.
After each exercise session, spend several minutes redu-
cing the pedal speed and the resistance so as to calm down
the ody and gradually return it to a relaxed state.

The parts and fixing elements must be checked before each use.
eplace any faulty part immediately and do not
use the bicycle until it has been repaired.
Do not store the VM600 in a damp place.
(e.g. beside a swimming pool, bathroom…)
CARE
• The saddle height can be quickly adjusted. Unscrew the knob, pull on the knob
and slide the saddle stem. The knob must engage at the required level. Screw
back the knob to avoid any movement.
• To adjust the pedal stiffness, use the knob at the front of the handlebars.
• You can also adjust the saddle horizontally owing to a nut located under the
saddle.
Adjusting the saddle in depth :
One must step down from the bike to do this setting.
- Loosen the knob till it frees the saddle’s support.
- Make it slide till the saddle is where you want it.
- Thoroughly tighten the knob so as to avoid any sliding or working loose.
SETTINGS
• This equipment must be assembled by an adult.
• Install your exercise bike in a room which is large enough for it to be
used in complete safety.
• Install the VM600 on a firm base and on a level floor.
• ead the recommendations and the exercises carefully before starating
your fitness training.
• Do not allow children to play near the equipment whilst you are exer-
cising.
• Do not allow children to use this equipment.
• This equipment conforms to the norm EN-957 class H which concerns
equipment intended for use in the home.
• Before undertaking any physical training, you must consult a doctor to
make sure that he does not advise against it.
• Suitable for those weighing less than 110 kg.

Warming up
Warming up is a preparatory phase before any activity. It puts the person INTO OPTI-
MUM CONDITIONS for carrying out his or her favorite sport. It is a METHOD OF P E-
VENTING ACCIDENTS TO TENDONS AND MUSCLES. There are two aspects :
WAKING UP THE MUSCULA SYSTEM, GENE AL WA MING UP.
1) The muscular system is prepared in a SPECIAL ST ETCHING SESSION which P E-
PA ES FO EACH ACTIVITY : each group of muscles is used, joints are used.
2) Global warming up gradually brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system
into action, improves irrigation of the muscles and prepares for making efforts. It
must be sufficiently long : 10 min for a leisure sport activity, 20 to 45 min for a
competition sport activity. Note that warming up must be longer : after 55 years
old, in the morning.
Training
T AINING is the main phase of your physical activity. You can improve your physi-
cal condition by EGULA training.
Slowing down
This is the continuation of an activity at low intensity, the gradual “return to rest”
phase. SLOWING DOWN brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system, the
blood flow and muscles back to “normal” (eliminating the counter effects of an exer-
cice, such as lactic acids, the accumulation of which is one of the major causes of
muscular pains such as cramps and stiff muscles).
Stretching
ST ETCHING must follow the slowing down phase while joints are still warm in order
to reduce risks of injury. Stretching after an activity : minimizes MUSCULA STIFF-
NESS due to an accumulation of LACTIC ACIDS, “stimulates” BLOOD
CI CULATION.
CARDIO - TRAINING
PHASES OF A PHYSICA ACTIVITY
CONTRO ING YOUR HEARTBEAT
It is vital to measure your pulse periodically in order to control your
degree of exercising. If you do not have an electronic measuring device,
follow this procedure :
To take your pulse, position two fingers : on the neck, or below the ear,
or at the inside wrist beside the thumb.
Do not press too hard : excessive pressure reduces the blood flow and
can slow down the heartbeat. After counting the pulsations for 30
seconds, multiply by 2 to obtain the number of pulsations per minute.
Example : 75 pulsations counted in 30 seconds corresponds to a heart
beat of 150 pulsations per minute.

Age
Cardio-training exercice is a form of aerobics (conditioning the body in the presence of oxygen) and allows you
to improve your cardio-vascular capacity. To be more precise, you will improve the tonicity of the heart and
your blood vessels. Cardio-training exercice carries the oxygen breathed in from the air to your muscles. It is
the heart that pumps this oxygen through the body and, in particular, to the muscles being exercised.
