BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
SETTINGS
RESISTANCE AND SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Pedalling resistance is controlled by the tension knob. Properly adjusting the seat will help reducing the risk of injury
and ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort. (the most appropriate position while using this bike is with one
pedal in the downward position, while the other leg is slightly bent at the knee.)
To adjust the seat height simply turn the adjustable knob loose, then pull the knob to move the seat up or down to the
desire height.
BELT ADJUSTMENT
The belt on your bike has been preadjusted and should not require immediate attention. Continuous use of the bike
may cause the chain to stretch or become loose causing the need for bike adjustments. If so, simply losen the bolts
on both side of flywheel and pull forward until the belt becomes tight.
WARM UP
A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Warming up is an important
part of your workout, and should begin every session. It prepares your body for more strenuous exercise by heating up
and stretching out your muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.
At the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce sore muscle problems. We suggest the following warm-
up and cool-down exercises:
HAMSTRING STRETCH
Sit with your right leg extended. Rest the sole of your left foot against your
right inner thigh. Stretch toward your toe as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts. Relax and then repeat with left leg extended.
HEAD ROLL
Rotate your head to the right for one count, feeling the stretch up the left side of your neck. Next,
rotate your head back for one count, stretching your chin to the ceiling and letting your mouth
open. Rotate your head to the left for one count, and finally, drop your head to your chest for
one count.
INNER THIGH STRETCH
Sit with the soles of your feet together with your knees pointing outward. Pull your
feet as close into your groin as possible. Gently push your knees towards the floor.
Hold for 15 counts.
