2. Rotate one foot to within arm's reach and pull up on the toe clip

strap. Repeat for the other foot.

3. Keep your knees positioned over your foot as you pedal.

2. Once you are in position and sitting comfortably on the bike, slowly

begin pedaling. Allow your hands to rest comfortably on the handle- bar. If you have not warmed up prior to mounting the bike, pedal slowly for at least five minutes before beginning your exercise program. WA RN I NG IF AT ANY TIME DURING YOUR WORKOUT YOU FEEL CHEST PAI N, EXPERIENCE SEVERE MUSCULAR DISCOMFORT, FEEL FAINT, OR ARE SHORT OF BREATH, STOP EXERCISING IMMEDIATELY. IF THE CONDITION PERSISTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR MEDICAL DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.

3. Pedaling resistance is controlled by the tension knob located beneath

the handlebar on the main "X" part of the frame. Resistance may be changed at any time by turning the tension knob clockwise (more resistance) or counterclockwise (less resistance).

4. Before dismounting, push down on the tension knob or rotate the

tension knob clockwise to brake the flywheel so that the pedals do not turn freely.

5. Dismount the bike by first loosening each toe clip strap and then

removing your feet from the pedals. Step off the bike. BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSPage 10

The first step to a successful exercise program is to set realistic goals and objectives. Are you wanting an exercise program that is geared to build muscle, maintain muscle tone, or lose weight? In order to ensure that you fully receive all the benefits of a sound exercise program, you need to first identify the existence (if any) of risk factors that may influence the design of your exercise program. Based upon a comprehensive analysis of your personal exercise needs and interests, you should then develop (or have developed for you by a competent or trained professional) an individualized program of exercise that is enjoyable, easy, and yet chal- lenging. Your greatest health benefit will come from a lifestyle change that encourages a lifetime of physical activity. One way to guarantee success in reaching your goal is to eat cor- rectly. A well-rounded diet provides the proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water necessary for good health. If you are unsure of your dietary needs, seek the advise of your physician, an exercise professional, or visit your local bookstore for more information on nutrition. FLEXIBILITY TRAINING* Achieving and maintaining an adequate range of motion should always be objectives of a comprehensive exercise program. The warm-up phase of your exercise session should include some type of light warm-up activity to increase both your heart rate and your body temperature, which is then followed by flexibility exercises that are specifically designed to stretch the musculature around your body’s major skeletal joints. Attempting to stretch a cold muscle can be dangerous to the soft tissues surrounding the muscle. No matter how controlled the movement, forcing a muscle through a full range of motion (and beyond) without appropriately warm- ing up is both unsafe and counterproductive. A general exercise program for achieving and maintaining flexibility should adhere to the following guidelines:

• Intensity - to a position of mild discomfort GENERAL EXERCISE GUIDELINESPage 11

• Duration - 10-30 seconds for each stretch

• Repetitions - 2-6 for each stretch

• Type - static, with a major emphasis on the low back and hamstrings area because of the high preva- lence of low-back pain syndrome in our society. EXERCISE PRINCIPLES* The American College of Sports Medicine has developed a position paper concerning exercise programs for healthy adults and the need for guide- lines. The following recommendations concern the quantity and quality of (exercise) training for developing and maintaining cardiorespiratory fitness in a healthy adult:

• Frequency -3 to 5 days per week

• Intensity -50% - 85% of maximum oxygen uptake (VO 2 max

• Duration -20 to 60 minutes of continuous aerobicactivity

• Mode of Activity -Any activity that uses the large muscle groups, that can be maintained continuously, and is rhythmical and aerobic in nature.

• Rate of Progression -Initial Conditioning - 4 to 6 weeks; low- end intensity (40% - 60% VO 2 max ); low- end duration (15 to 20 minutes). -Improvement Stage - 6 weeks to 6 months; moderate intensity; moderate duration. -Maintenance Stage - 6 months plus; moderate to high intensity; moderate to high duration. *Note: Some of the material contained in this section is adapted from The StairMaster
