SPINNING BIKE SET-UP
• Stand next to the Spinning bike’s seat (also known as the saddle).The seat height should be
about level with your hips when you are standing next to it.
• Turn the seat-height adjustment knob counter-clockwise. Pull the handle out to release the pin
from the hole so you can adjust the seat height. Lower or raise the seat so it is approximately
level with your hips as you stand next to the bike.
• Insert the pin into the correct seat height hole and turn the handle clockwise to lock it in place.
• Get on the bike.
• Take one pedal all the way down to the bottom of your pedal stroke.You should have a full
extension in your leg without locking out your knee.The full extension should allow for a soft
knee or even a very slight bend.
• Bring one pedal forward and one pedal back so they are in a straight line (the front pedal
should be in the 3 o’clock position and the back in the 9 o’clock position). If you drop a straight
line down from your forward knee, it should fall directly over the centre of your front foot. If
this does not happen, you need to move the seat either forward or backward. The forward
knee should be at a 90 degree angle.You should also be able to comfortably rest your hands
on the handlebars. If you feel you are really stretching to reach the handlebars, you need to
move your seat or handlebars backwards or forwards until you are in your most comfortable
riding position.
• Dismount the bike and adjust the forward/backward seat or handlebars position. Again, turn
the handle counter-clockwise, pull the pin out and move the seat to the desired position. Place
the pin in the chosen hole and turn the handle clockwise to secure the position.
• Move to the front of the bike and adjust the handlebar height. The height of the handlebars
is more a matter of preference. Comfort should be the main key. Some experienced riders
choose to keep the handlebars low to replicate outdoor riding. Many riders choose a higher
handlebar height for more comfort.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation South Africa encourages all South Africans to make heart-healthy choices
that include daily physical activity, exercise and a balanced diet. Use Trojan, SA’s No. 1 selling Home Fitness

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
Trojan X FIT 300 SPINNING BIKE
The exercise routine that is performed on the Trojan X Fit 300 Spinning Bike will develop the 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.
18
10335
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. Ultimately, you’ll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes.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 benets 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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
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.
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).
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.
