The  has been tested by some of America’s most famous cyclists. Our company
founder, Greg LeMond, is the force (the“g” force) behind the inspiration and design of this remarkable
indoor bike. Greg’s story is one of courage and heroic accomplishment. In 1986, Greg became the rst
American to win the longest and most physically demanding event in the world — the Tour de France.
Only nine months later in April of 1987, he narrowly escaped death when he was accidentally shot in a
hunting accident. During a long and painful rehabilitation, he set a goal that many considered incon-
ceivable: to once again win the Tour de France. In 1989, he achieved that goal and then proved it was no
mere stroke of luck by winning the Tour a third time in 1990.
A legendary athlete, Greg introduced many cycling innovations during his racing career. Just as aero
bars are now commonplace, the  will be the new standard in indoor tness bikes.
The  combines Greg’s passion for cycling with exceptional product innovation.
Built to deliver an incredible workout, every component of the  has been designed
to be more innovative, user friendly and comfortable than any other indoor bike you have ridden.
Whether you are a beginning tness enthusiast or a highly conditioned athlete, you will immediately feel
the dierence.
Attractive and cordless, you can position the  anywhere in your home for
maximum enjoyment. Starting with how quiet a  workout is, you will quickly dis-
cover that the  gives you a better cycling experience than any other indoor exer-
cise bike.

To nd the correct seat position for you, sit on the seat and place the ball of your foot on the center of
the pedal. Your knee should remain slightly bent when the pedal is in the farthest position away from
you. You should be able to complete the entire pedal rotation without locking the knees and without
dramatically shifting your weight from side to side.

pedaling the bike with the arch of your foot centered on the pedal of the bike. Although this may seem

adjust the straps so that your foot does not slip or slide about on the pedal.
Place the ball of each foot on the center of the pedal and under the strap.1.
Rotate the pedals until one foot is in the position closest to you.2.
To tighten the strap, simply pull down on the end of the strap until it ts snugly over your shoe.3.
Make sure that the strap is secure, but not overly tight or pressing uncomfortably on your foot.
Repeat these steps for the other foot.4.
To loosen the pedal strap, press down at the top of the clip that holds the strap secure, and pull the5.

An important step in a successful exercise program is to set achievable goals and objectives. Regardless
of your current physical condition, you need to establish a workable plan to reach your tness goals.
Begin by asking yourself a few basic questions. Are you just beginning an exercise program and wishing
to change your lifestyle from sedentary to physically active, or are your goals to enhance your current
tness levels? What are your primary objectives? Is your program to be geared toward losing weight,
increasing aerobic capacity, maintaining or building muscle tone, or perhaps all three?
In order to ensure that you fully receive all benets associated with a sound exercise program, you
should rst identify any risk factors that may inuence the design of your exercise program. Your health
care professional should be the rst step in identifying risk factors that may need to be addressed in es-
tablishingaprogram.Considerhavingatrainedtnessprofessionalhelpyouindevelopinganindividu-
alized program that is enjoyable, easily maintained, but still challenging enough to achieve your desired
results.
Remember that your greatest benet will come from an increased sense of well-being that comes along
with a lifestyle that includes physical activity. People who have already made physical tness a part of
their daily lives, will conrm that the benets of including physical activity in your life far outweigh the
inconvenience and time spent.
Any time you spend on your exercise program will reward you with increased energy, reduced stress, a
greater ability to focus and concentrate, and improved self-condence. You and the people you share
your life with will reap the rewards of your new lifestyle.

risk of injury. Always warm-up before stretching. Warm-up should include light activity to increase both
your heart rate and body temperature. Increasing your body temperature allows you to stretch muscles
more eectively and safely. Attempting to stretch a cold muscle is counterproductive and can lead to an
injury that may interfere with the continuation of your tness program and can postpone reaching your
goals.

A good warm-up is one of the most important and most frequently overlooked part of an exercise
regimen. Without a proper warm-up, the muscles of the body are far more prone to injury. A good
warm-up prepares the body for the stress you will place your muscles under during your workout and
will decrease your chances of becoming injured. Muscles perform better when they are warmer than
normal body temperature. Always take the time to warm-up properly. It will decrease the discomfort
during exercise and will help you get the most out of your workout.
While a 5 to 10 minute warm-up is adequate for some people, others may need a longer warm-up period
to be physiologically ready for intense eorts. Because dierent people have dierent requirements for
an adequate warm-up, the workouts in the , do not include a specic warm-up
segment. This allows you to warm up for a period of time and at a resistance level that is appropriate for
you.
Take the time to learn what your personal requirements are for warming up. Pedal slowly and at a low
resistance at rst, gradually increasing your pedal speed until you feel the muscles in your legs begin to
relax. Slowly increase your heart rate to about 110-120 beats per minute. Once you have warmed up
suciently,beginyourworkout.Yourworkoutwillbemoreenjoyableandmoreproductive

depends largely on what your goals are and your current tness level. People new to an active lifestyle
are more likely to keep with it if they start gradually. Beginners might consider a weekly schedule that
includes days o. Seasoned athletes may workout almost every day, but even these athletes know that
easy days are essential for muscular and mental recovery. Work towards a goal of including exercise at
least 3 to 5 days per week.

Just as the warm-up is essential for preparing your muscles for vigorous exercise, the cool-down is
equally important. It is tempting to simply stop pedaling as soon as you have nished your pro-
grammed workout. You will reap greater rewards from your workout, however, if you consistently take
the time for a proper cool-down. This process is important in allowing your body’s cardiovascular system
to gradually return to normal. It also allows your muscles to begin the process of recovery which will
make your next workout easier.
Over 5 to 10 minutes, gradually lower your heart rate to below 110 beats per minute by slowly decreas-
ing your exercise intensity.
Taking the time to warm-up and cool-down properly will decrease the level of discomfort you will expe-
rience when you tackle your next workout. More importantly, though, proper warm-up and cool-down
segments will greatly decrease your risk of injury.
 Stick with your program! You already accomplished the hard part. You made the
commitment and you researched, chose, and bought the equipment to make your goals become reality.
Now it’s up to you. Remember that all of the guidelines you just read are just that – guidelines. If a 30
minute workout is too much for your current tness level, choose a duration that you can complete and
gradually increase your time. Any increase in the amount of physical activity over what you are currently
doing, is a step forward.
Remember that even the most conditioned and dedicated athletes have days in which they slip from
their training plans, make poor nutritional choices, or quit in the middle of a workout. If you nd yourself
in such a situation, think about the progress you had made previously, reevaluate your training plan, and
recommit to your goals. Keep in mind the story of Greg LeMond who came back from a near fatal injury
