ADJUSTMENTS

SEAT ADJUSTMENT

Set the right height for you; the basic rule is that the arch of the foot reaches reaches the the pedal at its lowest point with the leg almost straight. Adjust the seat height by loosening the seat locking knob on the side. Hold on to the seat with one hand and, using your other hand, pull the locking knob outwards in order to enable free seat tube movement upwards and downwards. Once the height is right, let go of the knob and the seat locks into place. Turn the locking knob clockwise to tighten.

NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is properly fastened before starting to exercise! To adjust horizontal seat position forward and back, loosen the locking knob under the seat by turning it clockwise. Adjust the seat to the desired position and tighten the locking knob by turning it counter-clockwise.

NOTE! Do not pass the maximum border for the seat. This can cause damage to the machine.

HANDLEBAR SETUP

Loosen the locking knob on the side of the handlebar support then loosen the knob on the front side of the handlebar, and find the right position. Tighten the locking knobs. 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.

To assemble the bottle holder, put the bottle holder on the mounting bracket with the 2 bolts. (with supplied allen key)

To assemble the monitor, first put in the batteries, then connect the sensor wire. And finally click the monitor onto the bracket on the handlebar (see also assembly instructions on page 43)

NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is properly fastened before starting to exercise!

ADJUSTMENT OF SUPPORT FEET

If the equipment is not stable, adjust the adjustment screws below the support feet as necessary.

EXERCISING

If the product is not stable, adjust the stabilizing screws under the rear support appropriately.

EXERCISE LEVEL

Working out with this device 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 fitness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should be above all pleasant. You should work up a light sweat but you should not get out of breath during the workout.

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. You should start slowly at a low pedaling 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 pedaling speed can be increased gradually.

To set the excersising level, adjust the tension knob on the handlebar for a higher resistance. For a higher resistance, turn the tension knob clockwise, for a lower resistance turn the tension knob counter-clockwise.

HEART RATE

No matter what your goal, you'll get the best results by training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is your own heart rate.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

The most reliable heart rate measurement is achieved with a telemetric device, in which the electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the chest transmit the pulses from the heart to the console by means of an electromagnetic field.

NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult a physician before using a wireless heart rate monitor.

If you want to measure your heart rate this way during your workout, moisten the grooved

electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the electrodes remain in contact with the skin while exercising, but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented. If you wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the heart rate reading to the console up to a distance of about 1m

If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-rate reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the electrodes warm up properly to ensure accurate heart rate measurement. If there are several telemetric heart rate measurement devices next to each other, the distance between them should be at least 1.5m . Similarly, if there is only one receiver and several transmitters in use, only one person with a transmitter should be within transmission range. The transmitter is switched to an active state only when it is being used for measurement. Sweat and other moisture can, however, keep the transmitter in an active state and waste battery energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes carefully after use.

When selecting training attire, please note that some fibres used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Please note that a mobile phone, television and other electrical appliances form an electromagnetic field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate measurement.

First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate doesn't increase with added effort. If you don't know your maximum heart rate, please use the following formula as a guide:

220 - AGE

These are average values and the maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you.

We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help you with targeted training.

BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents and those who haven't exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves beginners' respiratory and circulatory performance and you will quickly feel your improvement.

TRAINER: 60-70% of maximum heart-rate

Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a week. To improve your condition still further, increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the same time!

ACTIVE TRAINER: 70 - 80% of maximum heart-rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes long-endurance workouts.
