USE

CORRECT EXERCISING POSITION
The seat height should be set so that the middle
part of the foot reaches the pedal with the leg
almost straight and the pedal at its lowest point. To
raise or lower the seat, turn the locking knob one
counterclockwise. Pull the locking knob out so that
the seat tube can be moved freely up and down.
When the height is right, let go of the knob. The
seat locks into place. Tighten the locking knob
clockwise. The scale on the seat tube helps you to
find the seat height you have found suits you best.
Always make sure that the locking knob is
N O T E !
fastened properly before starting to exercise.
To adjust the horizontal seat position forward and
back, loosen the locking screws under the seat. You
can also adjust inclination from here. Always make
sure that the locking screws under the seat are
properly fastened before starting to exercise. You
can change the seat for another by unscrewing the
locking screw.
O W N E R ' S M A N U A L
If the device is not stable, adjust the adjusting
screws under rear support accordingly.
ADJUSTING PEDALLING RESISTANCE
To increase or decrease resistance, turn the
adjustment knob at the top of the handlebar
support tube clockwise (+ direction) to increase
resistance and counterclockwise (- direction) to
decrease resistance. The scale above the knob (1-
10) helps you find and reset a suitable resistance.
Exercise intensity can be increased or decreased
with arrow keys: arrow upwards increases the
resistance and arrow down decreases the resistance.
The design of the handlebar allows you to exercise
either in an upright position or with the upper
body leaning forward. Remember, however, always
to keep your back straight.

EXERCISING

Working out using an exercise cycle is excellent
aerobic exercise, the principle being that the
exercise should be uitably light, but of long
duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving
the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn
improves endurance and fitness. The ability of the
body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on
its oxygenuptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should
above all be pleasant. You should perspire, but you
should not get out of breath during the workout.
You must, for example, be able to speak and not
just pant while pedalling. You should exercise at
least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to
reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this level
requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once
the basic condition has been reached, it is easily
improved, simply by increasing the number of
exercise sessions.
Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss,
because it is the only way of increasing the
energy spent by the body. This is why it is always
worthwhile to combine regular exercise with
a healthy diet. A dieter should exercise daily
- at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually
increasing the daily workout time to one hour.
You should start slowly at a low pedalling speed
and low resistance, because for an overweight
person strenuous exercise may subject the heart
and circulatory system to excessive strain. As
fitness improves, resistance and pedalling speed
can be increased gradually. Exercise efficiency can
be measured by monitoring the pulse. The pulse
meter helps you monitor your pulse easily during
exercise, and thus to ensure that the exercise is
sufficiently effective but not over-strenuous.
