EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
Using your Pace 375 provides you with several benets, it will improve your physical tness, tone
muscle and in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet, help you lose weight.
THE WARM UP PHASE
This stage helps get the blood owing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also reduce
the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown below. Each
stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch.
If it hurts, STOP.
THE EXERCISE PHASE
This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become
stronger. Work at your own pace, but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout.
The rate of work should be sufcient to raise your heart beat into the target zone shown on the
graph below.
This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
exercise i.e. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises should now
be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
As you get tter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a week,
and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.
MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your Trojan Pace 375 Exercise Bike you will need to have the resistance set quite
high. This will put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would
like. If you are also trying to improve your tness, you need to alter your training program. You should train
as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should
increase resistance, making your legs work harder than normal. You may have to reduce your speed to keep
your heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work the more
calories you will burn.

FITNESS TIPS & TECHNIQUES
AEROBIC EXERCISE
Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs.
Aerobic exercise improves the tness of your lungs and heart − your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic
exercise tness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs, or buttock, for
example). Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should form part of your
entire exercise routine.
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 the exercise routine process. Weight training helps tone, build and
strengthen muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lesser amount of reps.
Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
MUSCLE CHART
The exercise routine that is performed on the Trojan Pace 375 Exercise Bike will develop lower body muscle
group as well as condition the circulatory system and provide a good aerobic workout. These muscle groups
are highlighted on the muscle chart below.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years, or are severely overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment, a
few minutes per workout.
Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic
tness 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. The better your aerobic tness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your
target zone. 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 that have been set by you and your doctor.
• Monitor your pulse frequently.
• Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To maximise the benets of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper
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 nd your target zone in the table below.
During the rst 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
ngers on your wrist. Take a six second heartbeat count and multiply the results by 10 to nd your heart rate.
For example, if your six second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six second
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 proper level.

20
WARM UP & COOL DOWN
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
1. A WARM-UP: 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: 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your
training zone. (Note: During the rst few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart
rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes).
3. COOL-DOWN: 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the exibility of your muscles
and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
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 ve
workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right
Move slowly as you stretch, hold the position and never bounce.

the wall. Hold for 15 counts, and then relax. Repeat 3 times for each
leg. To cause further stretching of the Achilles tendons, bend your
back leg as well.
