USER MANUAL

HELLO THERE.
Joel and I are athletes who suffered from
severe ACL injuries a few months apart.
We purchased multiple pieces of exercise
equipment for our in-home rehab but were
left disappointed and frustrated by fitness
gear that made big promises but gave no
support, no well-thought-out plan to follow,
and no results. And that’s how Lifepro came
about, and why the Recovery + Fitness active
recovery collection was created — we’ve
set out to change all of that. It’s why every
piece of equipment bearing our name not only
undergoes rigorous scrutiny to make sure it
delivers on power and efficacy, but also comes
with built-in support from our ‘guiding angels’
and a built-in lifetime warranty so that
you’re never left hanging.
Welcome to Lifepro.
We’re in this together now.
Aerobic exercise has
enormous benefits
for your body, brain,
and mental health.
At least 75 minutes
of vigorous aerobic
exercise such
as cycling, are
recommended each
week for optimal
health.

Not everyone can afford to hire a personal trainer or a team of professionals
to help them feel and look their best. But the good news is: you don’t have
to. Lifepro brings the gym to you.
With the Lifepro FlexCycle Bike, you can build cardiovascular fitness and
muscle strength from the comfort of your home or office. Use the FlexCycle
while sitting on the couch watching TV, while reading a book, or while working
at the office. The FlexCycle is small and portable enough to take with you to
work and fits right under your desk!
The FlexCycle improves blood circulation, muscle tone, and flexibility.
Eight pedal resistance levels allow you to create custom cycling workouts.
On the lowest resistance level, workouts would be equivalent to an easy
bike ride in the park. Increasing the pedal resistance allows you to create
more intense workouts, similar to biking up a steep hill. Just sit back, relax,
and let your legs do the work! See results in just 15–20 minutes a day.
Redefine your workouts and experience the
transformative power of the Lifepro FlexCycle:
Increase strength & flexibility: improves stability and muscle tone
Regulate weight: boost your heart rate and burn calories.
Decrease chronic pain: improves core strength and circulation
Boost your metabolism: encourages your body to burn fat faster
Decrease your stress: increases serotonin and decreases cortisol
Lower blood pressure: improves circulation
Develop stronger bones: increases bone density
Check out the information in this manual for ways to get started using your
FlexCycle. Next, be sure to visit our website flexcycle.lifeprofitness.com
for access to our FREE library of workout videoswhich demonstrate how to
easily incorporate the FlexCycle into your fitness routine.

PARTS OF THE FLEXCYCLE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CREATE A CUSTOM CYCLING WORKOUT
Create a custom aerobic workout with your desired speed, intensity, and duration:
1. Adjust the pedal tension (see below) to your desired resistance level.
2. Place your feet flat on the pedals.
3. Begin pedaling at your desired speed. You can check your speed on the monitor.
Speed is displayed in RPMs (rotations/strides per minute).
4. Keep an eye on the monitor to check your workout duration.
ADJUSTING THE PEDAL RESISTANCE/TENSION
The FlexCycle has 8 levels of resistance (1-8). Level 1 is the lowest resistance
level and provides the easiest pedaling. Level 8 is the highest resistance level and
provides the most intense pedaling workout.
1. Turn the Tension Control Knob to the right or left to adjust the resistance level.
Align the arrow on the knob to the tension level you would like to select.
2. Turn the knob to the right to increase the resistance level. Turn the knob to the
left to decrease the resistance level.
TETHERING THE BIKE TO A CHAIR WHEN USING ON SLIPPERY FLOORS
The FlexCycle comes with a long strap which can be used to tether the bike to a
chair. Most users will NOT need to tether the bike; pedaling with downward force will
prevent it from slipping on carpet and most other surfaces. To tether the bike when
using it on a slippery surface:
1. Position the bike in front of a chair.
2. Sit in the chair and begin pedaling.
Your feet should easily reach the
pedals while sitting in the chair. Your
knees should be slightly bent when
the pedals are furthest from you.
3. Unbuckle the tether strap and route
it around the FlexCycle frame and
around the chair as shown.
4. Pull the strap taut and re-connect
the buckle.
5. Pedal the bike to make sure the
distance is correct. Adjust if
necessary.

TIPS FOR USING YOUR FLEXCYCLE
HOW TO PEDAL
1. Start pushing downward on the pedal when the pedal arm is at its highest
position.
2. Stop pedaling when the pedal is at its lowest position.
3. Make sure to press downward with your feet while you are pedaling.
START SLOW & LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!
It is important to start slow to avoid injury.
1. Begin your cycling workout on the lowest resistance (level 1). If you do not
often ride a bike, beginning at the lowest level gives your muscles a chance
to get used to cycling.
2. Increase the resistance, as well as your speed and workout duration, as you
get used to the FlexCycle.
KEEP YOUR UPPER BODY STILL
Pedaling is easier when you keep your upper body still.
1. Use your legs to pedal, not your body.
2. Your head and upper body should not move while you are pedaling.
3. Don’t rock from side to side.
4. It is easier to keep your body still if you pedal downward by pressing your feet
downward--rather than forward--on the pedals.
SAFETY TIPS
• Place the FlexCycle on a sturdy, level, non-slip surface, with at least 12
inches of clearance on all sides. Place a mat or rug under the bike to protect
your carpet or flooring.
• Stop exercising immediately if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or nauseous, or if
you experience pain, tightness in your chest, irregular heartbeat, or extreme
shortness of breath.
• Start with the lowest resistance level.
• Slowly increase the resistance, as well as your speed and workout duration.
• Drink plenty of water before, during, and after exercise.
• Do not sit or stand on the FlexCycle.
• Do not use on a full stomach.

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
Using your FlexCycle will improve your physical fitness, tone your muscles, and when
combined with a calorie-controlled diet, it will help you lose weight.
PRO TIP: Change up your workout duration, speed, as well as your exertion level and
heart rate to keep improving your fitness and mobility.
STEP 1: WARM UP PHASE
Spend about 5 minutes warming up. Doing warm up stretches before exercising
prevents pulled muscles and other exercise injuries. Stretching gets blood flowing and
helps loosen your muscles so they are ready for exercise. While doing the following
stretches, do not force or jerk your muscles, and most important, if it hurts: STOP.
TOUCH YOUR TOES
1. Bend your knees slightly.
2. Let your back and shoulders relax as you bend over and try to
touch your toes.
3. Hold the stretch for 10–15 seconds.
4. Repeat 3 times.
STRETCH YOUR CALVES AND FEET
1. Sit on the floor or a cushion.
2. Place your left foot against your right inner thigh.
3. Bend toward your right foot and try to touch your toes.
4. Hold the stretch for 10–15 seconds
5. Switch legs and repeat. Stretch each leg 3 times.
STRETCH YOUR QUADS
1. Place your left hand on a wall or a table to help with your balance.
2. With your right hand, grab your right ankle.
3. Pull your heel in toward your buttocks.
4. Hold the stretch for 10–15 seconds
5. Switch legs and repeat. Stretch each leg 3 times.
STRETCH YOUR GROIN
1. Sit on the floor or a cushion with your knees bent and the soles
of your feet together.
2. Hold your ankles and bend forward at your hips.
3. Hold the stretch for 10–15 seconds
4. Repeat 3 times.
STEP 2: EXERCISE PHASE
During the exercise phase you’re
building muscle, stamina, and
improving your cardiovascular
health. It’s important to begin
slowly and increase your workout
duration, intensity, and the
resistance level of the pedals
slowly over time. Work at your
own pace and be sure to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The intensity of your
workout should be sufficient to raise your heartbeat into the target zone shown in the
graph.
Calculate your personal target heart rate when exercising based on your fitness goals.
MAXIMUM HEART RATE
This value represents your maximum heart rate and serves as a basis from which to
calculate your personal training heart rate.
HEALTH & WELLNESS
Ideal for people who are overweight, older, beginners, and/or who do not exercise
regularly.
FAT BURNING
Ideal for athletes and sports people who aim to lose weight.
CONDITIONING & FITNESS
Ideal for athletes and sports people who want to improve their stamina and/or
conditioning.
For optimal training results, calculate the average value of selected target zone
(also see chart above):
• Health & Wellness: target zone average = 55% of max heart rate
(max heart rate × 0.55)
• Fat Burning: target zone average = 65% of max heart rate (max heart rate × 0.65)
• Conditioning & Fitness: target zone average = 75% of max heart rate
(max heart rate × 0.75
STEP 3: RECOVERY PHASE
After exercising, it’s important to give your body time to cool down and recover. Spend
5 minutes completing the warm up stretches again to allow yourself time to cool down.
Be careful not to force or jerk your muscles as you stretch.
Target Zone = 70-80% of Max Heart Rate
Target Zone = 50-60% of Max Heart Rate
220 - Your Age = Max Heart Rate
Target Zone = 60-70% of Max Heart Rate
