Assembly Instructions
Hold the handle to move the bike as shown in the diagram.

The free area must be at least 0.6m greater than the training area. This is a space where you can safely
dismount, without obstruction, in case of an emergency. Where two pieces of equipment are positioned
adjacent to each other the free area may be shared.
Only one person should be within the training area when the equipment is in use.

Tailor your exercise program according to your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several
years, or are overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment; a few minutes per
workout increase is advisable.
Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic
fitness will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to
work at your own pace.
Please remember these essentials:
• Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you should
adopt.
• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals.
• Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.
• Set up your equipment on a flat even surface with adequate training area, as prescribed in this manual.
Exercise intensity
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise at an appropriate intensity. The intensity
level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should
be maintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known
as your target zone. You can find your target zone in the table below.

Age
During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your target zone
as you exercise. After a few months, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of
your target zone as you exercise.
To measure your heart rate, stop exercising but continue moving your legs or
walking around and place two fingers on your wrist. Take a six-second heartbeat
count and multiply the results by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your
six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute.
(A six-seconds count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you
stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the
required level.

Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart - your body’s most important muscle.
Aerobic exercise is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs, or buttock, for
example).
Weight Training
Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can
store, weight training is an essential part of an exercise routine. Weight training helps tone, build and
strengthen muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lower number of
reps.
Targeted Muscle Groups
The exercise routine that is performed on the exercise bike will develop the lower body muscle groups.
These muscle groups are highlighted on the muscle chart below.

Exercise Information
A: Trapezius
B: Anterior Deltoid
C: Pectoralis Major
D: Serratus Anterior
E: Biceps
F: Abdominal
G: Sartorius
H: Quadriceps
I: Tibialis Anterior
J: Trapezius
K: Posterior Deltoid
L: Triceps
M: Latissimus Dorsi
N: Gluteals
O: Hamstrings
P: Gastrocnemiu

Each workout should include the following three parts:
1. A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up
increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
2. Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
3. A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and
will help to reduce post-exercise muscle soreness.
Exercise Frequency
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
Suggested Stretches
For a correct warm up, see the following basic stretching exercises. Move slowly as you stretch, never bounce.
Toe touch stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and
slowly bend forward from your hips.
Allow your back and shoulders to relax
as you reach down toward your toes as
