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 (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.
EXERCISING YOUR ARMS
You can also use the FlexCycle to exercise your arms. Attach the arm pedals
as shown on page 9. To exercise your arms:
1. Hold onto the pedals with both hands.
2. Push the pedals forward using a circular motion.
The included resistance bands provide a great way to exercise your arms and
legs at the same time. While you are biking, use the resistance bands to do
bicep curls, shoulder presses, and more!
