THE HAND PULSE SENSOR SYSTEM
Hand pulse sensors are built-in to the handlebars on the exercise bike. During a
workout, grasp both sensors that are set into the handlebars. For an accurate
reading, use a comfortable grip. The monitor displays the heart rate after a few
seconds. Both sensors must be grasped. The system will not function if only one
sensor is grasped.
NOTE: Excessively squeezing the hand pulse sensors will not improve the heart
rate reading.
WARMING UP AND COOLING DOWN – IMPORTANT
One of the most important parts of your workout is to prepare your body for
exercise on the Bike. Warming up the muscles substantially decreases the
chances of injury and only takes a few moments to do.
The Bike can also be used for warming up and cooling down exercise. Cooling
down helps removes the lactic acid build-up in the muscles by oxygenating the
muscles after your exercise routine. Lactic acid is what makes you ache after a
workout, cooling down should be undertaken soon after the last set of exercises
you intend to complete. Warming up and cooling down exercises are identical and
easy to remember. Both warming up and cooling down should be done slowly and
accurately, there is no hurry to complete these exercises, it is more important to
complete them. In addition, it is good practise to move around after the cool down
exercises to further dissipate the lactic acid.
QUADRICEPS STRETCH
Stand close to a wall, chair or other solid object. Use one
hand to assist your balance. Bend the opposite knee and lift
your heel towards your buttocks. Reach back and grasp the
top of your foot with the same side hand. Keeping your
inner thighs close together, slowly pull your foot towards
your buttocks until you feel a gentle stretch in the front of
your thigh. You do not have to touch your buttocks with
your heel. Stop pulling when you feel the stretch. Keep
your kneecap pointing straight down and keep your knees
close together. (Do not let the lifted knee swing outward.)
Hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat the exercise
for the other leg.
TOP TIP: Use a chair or a wall to help keep your balance
only if you need to.

WARMING UP AND COOLING DOWN – IMPORTANT
WARMING UP AND COOLING DOWN – IMPORTANT
BUTTOCKS, HIPS AND ABDOMINAL STRETCH
Lay at on your back with your hips relaxed against the oor. Bend one leg at the
knee. Keeping both shoulders at on the oor, gently grasp the bent knee with
your hands and pull it over your body and towards the ground. You should feel a
stretch in your hips, abdominal and lower back. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and
release. Repeat the exercise for the opposite side.
CALF AND ACHILLES STRETCH
Stand approximately one arm’s length away from a
wall or chair with your feet hip-width apart. Keeping
your toes pointed forward, move one leg in close to
the chair while extending the other leg behind you.
Bending the leg closest to the chair and keeping the
other leg straight, place your hands on the chair. Keep
the heel of the back leg on the ground and move your
hips forward. Slowly lean forward from the ankle,
keeping your back leg straight until you feel a stretch
in your calf muscles. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat
the exercise for the opposite leg.
INNER THIGH STRETCH
Sit on the oor and bend your legs so that the soles of
your feet are together. Place your hands on your ankles.
Lean forward from the waist and press down lightly on
the inside of your knees. You should feel a stretch in the
muscles of your inner thighs.
www.SereneLifeHome.com 11
WARMING UP AND COOLING DOWN – IMPORTANT
OVERHEAD/TRICEPS STRETCH
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees
slightly bent. Lift one arm overhead and bend your elbow,
reaching down behind your head with your hand toward
the opposite shoulder blade. Walk your ngertips down
your back as far as you can. Hold this position.
Reach up with elbow. Gently assist the stretch by pulling
on the elbow. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds.
Warming up and cooling down should take around ten
minutes each. It is sensible to adjust this timing according
to your own situation. You would benet from a longer
warm-up session if you exercise soon after waking up than
you would after a walk to the shops and back for example.
Take your time warming up and cooling down, enjoy the
stretches as they will make you feel better.
Top Tip: As you progress, you can create your own warm up
and cool down exercise routine, you do not need to keep
strictly to the above routine so long as you utilise all the
basic muscle types included above.
STANDING HAMSTRINGS STRETCH
Stand with your legs hip width apart. Extend one
leg out in front of you and keep that foot at
against the ground. With your hands resting lightly
on your thighs, bend your back leg and lean
forward slightly from your hips until you feel a
stretch in the back of your thigh. Be sure to lean
forward from the hip joint rather than bending at
your waist. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat the
exercise for the opposite leg.
