exercising with your cycle
Always consult your doctor
before undertaking a new
exercise regime
If you experience nausea, dizziness or other abnormal
symptoms during exercise, stop at once and consult
your doctor
!
Correct cycling form
•Sit on the cycle, with your feet on the pedals and inside the pedal
straps
•Ensure that the seat height is adjusted correctly - you should be
stable and balanced whilst on the saddle. The basic rule for getting
the seat height right is that as the pedal reaches its lowest point, the
leg is almost straight.
•Try to ensure that your back is straight whilst exercising, especially for
long periods.
How long should I exercise for?
That really depends on your current level of tness. If you’re just
starting out on a new exercise program, you should start gradually
and build up – do not try to do too much too quickly. 30 minutes,
3 times a week should be enough.
Don’t push yourself too hard - you should never feel exhausted
during or following exercise.
Heart Rate Training
To get the most out of your new piece of tness equipment and see
the best results from your training you should exercise at the right
level of eort, and that means listening to your heart! Working out
to a target heart rate means you can direct your workout to achieve
dierent goals:
Good health - For those wishing to improve quality of life and
general well being. Your sessions will need to be done at an
intensity of between 50-60% of your estimated maximum heart
rate, should last about 30 minutes and can be done on most days
of the week.
Weight loss – To see a signicant reduction in body fat, your
sessions must be a little more intense - between 60 and 70% of
your estimated maximum heart rate. These sessions can also be
performed on most days of the week for up to 30 minutes.
Improving Fitness levels –These sessions should be performed
at 70-80% of your estimated maximum heart rate and can also
involve bouts of interval training that would have your heart
rate peaking for short times near your maximum heart rate level.
These are intense sessions and will require at least a 48 hour rest
between sessions.
Calculating your target heart rate
First, you need to nd your estimated maximum heart rate using the
formula ‘220 minus your age in years’. So, if you are 35 years old your
estimated maximum heart rate is:
220 – 35 = 185 beats per minute (bpm)
Next, to calculate your target heart rate, simply multiply your
estimated maximum heart rate (185bpm) by the applicable
percentage. So, if your goal is better heath:
185 x 60% = 111bpm
NOTE: The important issue to remember with all estimated
calculations is that they are just estimates – if you don’t
feel comfortable exercising at your target then reduce it to
a level you are comfortable with.
!
Note: Heart rate training requires you to monitor your heart rate
throughout the workout. For this we recommend using a chest strap
(if your machine has a wireless receiver) or a heart rate monitor. For
more information please visit yorktness.com or get in touch using
the Contact Us details on page 5.
Starting and nishing your workout
Begin and end each workout with a Warm Up / Down session – a few minutes of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and cramps

cycle features explained
Adjusting the resistance
This cycle features a speed independent braking (resistance) system.
The resistance is controlled by a magnet, which is moved closer
or further away from the ywheel – the closer the magnet is to
the ywheel the higher the resistance. The magnet is controlled
manually, by twisting the dial. The resistance levels go from
1 = easy to 8 = hard
Adjusting the seat height
do not pull the seat out too far -
the maximum is indicated with a piece of tape
on the seat post
!
Adjusting the handlebars
The handlebars can be adjusted to match your individual equirements;
1. Loosen the T-bar bolt
2. Tilt the handlebars into your desired position
3. Tighten the T-bar bolt
Levelling your cycle
To help you level the cycle on uneven surface, 2 height adjusters are
included on the rear stabilisers. Simply twist these around to adjust
the height of the cycle
11
1. Unscrew the hand wheel
2. Adjust the seat up or down to your required height - to line it up
correctly, make sure the number and line is visible at the top of
the seat post mounting tube.
3. Re-screw the hand wheel - make sure it is screwed tightly
4. The basic rule for getting the seat height right is that as the pedal
reaches its lowest point, the leg is almost straight
Transporting your cycle
Your cycle has 2 transport wheels to help you move it around.
To engage the wheels, tilt the cycle towards you with the handlebars
and then using the handlebars push the cycle to your desired location
transport wheels

how to take care of your cycle
Storage
Keep the equipment in a dry place with as little temperature variation
as possible. Try to protect from dust and always unplug when not in
use (if applicable).
Cleaning
Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe the surfaces. Mild detergent may be
used if necessary.
Maintenance
Ensure you regularly check components for wear and make sure all
the nuts and bolts are tightened before each exercise session.
Troubleshooting
If you are still having problems with your equipment, please get in
touch with your local York distributor using the details found in the
Customer Support section on page 5.
Never remove the
protective casing.
!
If you have a problem with your equipment, before you do anything else please check that all
the cables have been connected correctly. Loose cables are very common and many problems
can be solved by making sure the cables are properly connected
