The pedals and pedal straps are marked R for right
and L for left. Fasten the right pedal to the right
pedal crank turning clockwise and left pedal to
the left pedal crank turning anti-clockwise. Attach
the pedal straps so that there are 4 grooves on the
outer edge of the pedal. Choose the strap tightness,
set the appropriate strap hole on the retainer from
below and pull forcibly upward. Especially when
the cycle is new, the fastening of the strap may
seem relatively tight.

Fix the adjustment screw on the rear support
prior to using the equipment; this ensures that
the equipment stands solidly on its base. Position
the exercise cycle to the where you intend to use
it. Never forget to protect the base from possible
scratching. Unlock the adjustment screw by
turning the locking ring anti-clockwise, and then
turn the adjustment screw clockwise; it is now in
its initial position. Turn the adjustment screw anti-
clockwise until the rubber pad touches the fl oor.
Lock the adjustment screw by turning the locking
ring clockwise, carefully step on the cycle and make
sure that it is stable.

Loosen the grey adjustment knob at the handlebar
support tube and adjust the handlebar distance so
that you can pedal with the arms almost straight in
comfortable position. 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. Retighten the adjustment knob.

Working out using an exercise cycle is excellent
aerobic exercise, the principle being that the
exercise should be suitably light, but of long
duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving
the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn
improves endurance and fi tness. The ability of the
body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on
its oxygen- uptake 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 fi tness 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 fi rst 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually
increasing the daily workout time to one hour.
