WARNING:
Please note that the knob operates a quick-release system. You only have to turn it
anti-clockwise 2-3 times to unlock it, then pull on the knob to quick release the saddle
support. Hold the knob in this pulled position and then set the desired saddle height. Let
go of the knobl to engage the locking mechanism again. To do this, you may need to
move the seat tube slightly up or down to engage the mechanism in the corresponding
seat support hole. Tighten the knob clockwise again.
Setting the optimum saddle height:
Make sure you are wearing the shoes you want to wear during your workout. Comfort-
able running shoes or sports shoes are ideal. Adjust the pedal position so that the right
pedal arm is pointing vertically down and the right pedal is at the lowest point of its radius
of motion. Now sit on the saddle and place the heel of your right foot on the right pedal.
Your leg should be almost completely straight. Adjust the saddle height until your right
leg is almos t fully extended and then put the ball of the foot on the pedal. Now your leg
should be slightly bent. This is the ideal height adjustment for your saddle.
WARNING:
Never train with a seat height adjustment that fully extends your legs at the lowest posi-
tion of the pedals.

RPM - indicates the current number of revolutions per minute (RPM).
Power WATT** - Indication of the power output in relation to the speed in watts (WATT).
*Note on calorie measurement
The energy consumption is calculated using a general formula. It is not possible to determine an individual’s energy consumption exactly, as this
requires a large amount of personal data. The energy consumption displayed is therefore an approximation and not an exact value.
**Note on the watt display
As this is an exercise device that is suitable for non-therapeutic purposes, the displayed wattage is not a calibrated value. This means that the
displayed power may di󰀨er from the actual power.

Pulse & Heart Rate
Calculating your personal heart rate when training
Calculate your personal heart rate when training as follows:
220 - Age = maximum heart rate
This value represents your maximum heart rate and serves as a basis from which to calculate
your personal training heart rate. Set the calculated heart rate at 100%
Wellness and Health - target zones = 50 to 60% of the maximum heart rate.
This training zone is ideally suitable for people who are over-weight and/or older beginners, or people starting again after a longer
break from training. Training in this zone the body will burn approx. 4-6 calories per minute to produce energy.
The percentage ratio per calorie is approx. 70% fat, 25% carbohydrate, and 5% protein.
Fat burning - target zone = 60 to 70% of the maximum heart rate
This training zone is suitable for athletes and sports people who aim to lose weight.
Training in this zone the body will burn approx. 6-10 calories per minute to produce energy.
The percentage rate per calorie is approx. 85% fat,10% carbohydrate, and 5% protein.
Condition & Fitness - target zone = 70 to 80% of maximum heart rate
This training zone is ideally suitable for athletes and sports people who aim to improve their stamina and/or condition.
Training in this zone the body will burn approx. 10-12 calories per minute to produce energy.
The percentage rate per calorie is approx. 35% fat,60% carbohydrate, and 5% protein.
For optimum e󰀨ects in training results you should calculate the average value of the selected target zone (also see above table):
Wellness & Health - target zone average value = 55% of maximum heart rate
Fat burning - target zone average value = 65% of maximum heart rate
Kondition & Fitness - target zone average value = 75% of maximum heart rate

Warning about Pulse and Heart Rate Monitoring
CAUTION: Pulse and heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Excessive training can cause serious
injury or even death. If you feel unwell and / or faint, stop training immediately. Make sure all users of your exer-
cise device are familiar with this information, understand it and apply it unconditionally.
Pulse Rate Monitoring using Hand Sensors
Most exercise equipment is equipped with hand pulse sensors. These are mostly in the cockpit or integrated into
the handrails. These hand sensors are used for short-term determination of the pulse rate. To do this, you need
to cover the sensors with both hands at the same time. After a short while, the display shows the current pulse
rate. This measuring system is based changes in electrical skin resistance measured by the hand sensors due
to the heartbeat which causes blood pressure uctuations. These changes are summarized to a mean value
and shown in the display as the current pulse rate.
CAUTION.
For large parts of the population, the pulse-induced skin resistance change is so minimal that usable values
cannot be derived from the measurement results. Also callouses on the palms, damp hands and body shakes,
which in many forms of exercise inevitable, prevents correct measurement. In such cases, the pulse value is
displayed incorrectly or not at all.
Please check in the case of a faulty or failed measurement, whether this occurs only with one or with several
people. If the display of the pulse does not work only in individual cases, the device is not defective. In this case
we recommend the use of a chest belt to achieve a permanently correct pulse display. This is available as an
accessory
Heart Rate Measurement using a Chest Belt
Many MAXXUS® training devices are already tted with a receiver as standard.
Using a chest belt (we recommend the exclusive use of an uncoded POLAR® chest belt) allows you to wireless-
ly measure heart rate. The chest belt is available online as an accessory from www.maxxus.com.
This optimal, ECG-accurate type of measurement takes the heart rate by means of a transmitter chest belt
directly from the skin.
The chest belt then sends the pulse via an electromagnetic eld to the built-in cockpit receiver.
We recommend you always use a chest belt for heart rate measurement during heart rate-controlled programs.
CAUTION
The determination of the current heart rate by means of the chest belt serves only to display the current heart
rate during exercise. This value says nothing about the safety and e󰀨ectiveness of the training. Also, this type of
measurement is in no way designed or suitable for medical diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, discuss with your family doctor the most suitable procedure for you and create your exercise plan
before you start exercising.
This applies especially to those who:
−have not been physically active for a long period of time
−are overweight
−are older than 35 years
−have too high or too low blood pressure
−have heart problems
If you are wearing a pacemaker or similar device, discuss this with your medical specialist before using a heart
rate chest belt.

Training Recommendations
Preparation Before Training
Before you start training make sure that not only your training device is in perfect condition, your body must also
be prepared for training. Therefore, if you have not done any endurance training for some time, you should con-
sult your GP and undergo a tness check-up. Also discuss your training target; they will certainly be able to give
you valuable advice and information. This applies to people who are over 35, have problems with overweight,
heart or circulatory system problems.
Training Plan
Essential to e󰀨ective, target orientated, and motivating training is to have a forward-looking trainings plan.
Plan your tness training as an integral part of your daily routine. If you don’t have a xed plan, training can
easily interfere with regular commitments or continually be put o󰀨 to another unspecied time.
If possible, create a long term monthly plan and not just from day to day or week to week. A training plan should
also include su󰀩cient motivation and distraction during training sessions. An ideal distraction is to watch TV
during training as this diverts your attention both visually and acoustically. Make sure that you reward yourself
and set realistic targets such as to losing 1 or 2kgs in four weeks or to increase your training time by 10 minutes
within two weeks for example. If you reach your targets, then reward yourself with a favourite meal which you
have not allowed yourself till then.
Warm-Up Before Training
Warm-up on your training device for 3-5 minutes at minimum resistance. This will best prepare your body for the
up-coming exertion in training.
Cool-Down After Training
Do not just get o󰀨 your training device immediately the training session is nished. Like with the warm-up stage
you should continue for 3-5 minutes at minimum resistance to cool down. After training you should stretch your
muscles thoroughly.
Front Thigh Muscles
Support yourself with your right hand against the wall or on your training device. Bend
your knee and raise your left foot backwards so you can hold it with your left hand. Your
knee should be pointing straight down to the oor. Pull your leg backwards until you feel
a light pulling in your thigh muscles. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Let your foot
go and stand it back on the oor. Repeat the exercise with your right leg.
Inner Thigh Muscles
Sit on the oor. Pull the soles of your feet together in front of you raising your knees
slightly. Grasp the upper sides of your feet and place your elbows on your thighs. Press
your thighs down towards the oor with your arms until you feel a light pulling in your
thigh muscles. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Make sure to keep your upper
body straight throughout the exercise. Release the pressure from your thighs and slowly
stretch out your legs to the front. Stand up slowly steadily.
Legs, Calves and Buttocks
Sit on the oor. Stretch out your right leg and bend your left leg to place the sole of your
foot on your right thigh. Bend your top body over so you can stretch out your right hand
to touch your right toes. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Let go of your toes and
sit slowly and steadily up straight again. Repeat this exercise with your left leg.
Leg and Lower Back Muscles
Sit on the oor with your legs stretched out. Stretch forward with your hands and try to
grasp the tips of your toes with both hands. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Let
go of your toes and slowly and steadily sit back up straight again.
