Home trainer -
for anyone who likes cycling and wants
to avoid strain on the joints
Due to the round leg movement this is a particularly gentle form
of exercise for foot, knee and hip joints. It is ideal for regulated
cardiovascular training with the training goal of fat burning, as
the physical strain is lower than with running training.Therefore
home trainers are also suitable for people who are overweight
or who have physical problems and want to avoid too much
strain on knee and hip joints.
For training related to the heart rate, a chest strap is recommen-
ded
The advantages:
• ergonomic, optimally adjustable to the desired training positi-
on-
• ideal for cardiovascular training and fat burning
• low strain on joints
• also suitable for overweight people and beginners
• space saving and easy to transport

Setting the optimum sitting position
The ideal posture is to have your upper body slightly bent for-
ward. If you have back problems, adjust the tilt angle so that the
upper body is in an upright sitting position, which protects the
spine and joints.
Seat height
First of all adjust the saddle to the optimum seat height. This is
achieved when you can just reach the pedals with your heel
with bent knees. You will maintain a round movement of the legs
if you never completely stretch out the knee. Therefore you have
a training which is gentle on foot, knee and hip joints.

Distance from saddle to handlebars
The saddle of your home trainer can also be adjusted horizon-
tally (according to the model). To do this loosen the screws
underneath the saddle and slide the saddle forwards or back-
wards down the bar, depending on your body height.
Tilting the handlebars
The tilt of the handlebars of your home trainer can be adjusted.
Loosen the screws underneath the cockpit and set it in the opti-
mum position. Then tighten the screws again so that the hand-
lebars do not slip!!
Training variations
In order to increase the strain on the thigh and buttock muscles,
emphasise your steps on the pedals. In order to achieve increa-
sed training of the back of the thighs, emphasise pulling the
pedals with the loop upwards.
Furthermore you will have the opportunity to simulate a mountain
ascent with high pedal resistance. In this training the stomach
and back muscles, upper body and shoulder muscles will be
included as well as leg muscles.
