EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONRegister your product warranty online at: www.BHFitnessUSA.com Questions regarding warranty and parts call: 636.634.2217
TRAINING GUIDELINES Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual. Listed among its benets are:
- Increased capacity for physical work (strength endurance)
- Increased cardiovascular (heart and arteries/veins) and respiratory efciency
- Decreased risk of coronary heart disease
- Changes in body metabolism, e.g. losing weight
- Delaying the physiological effects of age
- Reduction in stress, increase in self-condence, etc. There are several components of physical tness and each is dened below. STRENGTH The capacity of a muscle to exert a force against resistance. Strength contributes to power and speed. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE The capacity to exert a force repeatedly over a period of time, e.g. it is the muscular endurance of your legs to carry you 10 km without stopping. FLEXIBILITY The range of motion of your joints. Improving exibility involves the stretching of muscles and tendons to maintain or increase suppleness, and it provides increased resistance to muscle injury or soreness. CARDIO-RESPIRATORY ENDURANCE The most essential component of physical tness. It is the efcient functioning of the heart and lungs. AEROBIC FITNESS Is an exercise of relatively low intensity and long duration, which depends primarily on the aerobic energy system. Aerobic means "with oxygen", and refers to the use of oxygen in the body's metabolic or energy-generating process. Many types of exercise are aerobic, and by denition are performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time. ANAEROBIC TRAINING Is an exercise intense enough to trigger anaerobic metabolism. This means “without oxygen” and is the output of energy when the oxygen supply is insufcient to meet the body’s long term energy demands. (For example, a 100 meter sprint.)7 Register your product warranty online at: www.BHFitnessUSA.com Questions regarding warranty and parts call: 636.634.2217
TRAINING GUIDELINES OXYGEN UPTAKE The effort that you can exert over a prolonged period of time is limited by your ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles. Regular vigorous exercise produces a training effect that can increase your aerobic capacity by as much as 20 to 30%. An increased VO2 Max indicates an increased ability of the heart to pump blood, of the lungs to ventilate oxygen, and of the muscles to take up oxygen.
THE TRAINING THRESHOLD
This is the minimum level of exercise which is required to produce signicant improvements in any physical tness parameter. OVERLOAD This is where you exercise above your comfort level. The intensity, duration and frequency of exercise should be above the training threshold and should be gradually increased as the body adapts to the increasing demands. As your tness level improves, the training threshold should rise. Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important. PROGRESSION As you become more t, a higher intensity of exercise is required to create an overload and therefore provide continued improvement. SPECIFICS Different forms of exercise produce different results. The type of exercise that is carried out is specic to the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved. There is little transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular tness. That is why it is important to have an exercise program tailored to your specic needs. REVERSIBILITY If you stop exercising or do not do your program often enough, you will lose the benets you have gained. Regular workouts are the key to success. WARM-UP Every exercise program should start with a warm-up where the body is prepared for the effort to come. It should be gentle and preferably use the muscles group to be involved later. Stretching should be included in both your warm-up and cool down, and should be performed after 3-5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or calisthenic type exercise.
WARM DOWN OR COOL DOWN
This involves a gradual decrease in the intensity of the exercise session. Following exercise, a large supply of blood remains in the working muscles. If it is not returned promptly to the central circulation, pooling of blood may occur in the muscles.Register your product warranty online at: www.BHFitnessUSA.com Questions regarding warranty and parts call: 636.634.2217
TRAINING GUIDELINES HEART RATE As you exercise, your heart rate increases. This is often used as a measure of the required intensity of an exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to condition your circulatory system, and increase your pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart. Your initial level of tness is important when developing an exercise program. Depending on the individual, when starting an exercise program, you can achieve good training results with a heart rate of 110-120 beats per minute (BPM). If you are more t, you will need a higher threshold of stimulation. To begin with, you should exercise at a level that elevates your heart rate to about 65 to 70% of your maximum heart rate. If you nd this is too easy, you may want to increase it, but it is better to lean on the conservative side. As a rule of thumb, your maximum heart rate is calculated by subtracting your age from 220. As you increase in age, your heart, like other muscles, loses some of its efciency. Some of this loss can be won back as tness improves.
HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR HEART RATE
Immediately after exercising, take your heart rate by applying two ngers to your wrist or carotid artery in the neck. Count the beats for ten seconds. Multiply the number of beats times 6 to calculate your current heart rate in BPM (beats per minute). Ten seconds is long enough for accuracy. Since heart rate slows as you recover, a count longer than ten seconds isn’t as accurate. The following tables are guides for target heart rate per beginning tness and above average tness levels based on your age.
AGE GROUP 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 10 Second Count 26 26 25 24 23 22 22 21 20 Heart Rate In Beats Per Minute 156 156 150 144 138 132 132 126 120 Don’t push yourself too hard to reach the gures on this table. It can be very uncomfortable if you over exercise. Let it happen naturally as you work through your program. Remember, the target is a guide, not a rule, a little above or below is just ne. Don’t be concerned with day to day variations in your pulse rate. Being under pressure or not enough sleep can affect it. Your pulse rate is a guide, don’t become obsessed with it.9 Register your product warranty online at: www.BHFitnessUSA.com Questions regarding warranty and parts call: 636.634.2217
TRAINING GUIDELINES MUSCLE SORENESS For the rst week or so, muscle soreness may be the only indication you have that you are on an exercise program. This, of course, does depend on your overall tness level. A conrmation that you are on the correct program is a very slight soreness in most major muscle groups. This is quite normal and will disappear in a matter of days. If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a program that is too advanced, or you have increased your program too rapidly. If you experience pain during or after exercise, your body is telling you something. Stop exercising and consult your doctor.
Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you normally would gives you no advantage. The extra weight you lose is body uid and will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink. Always wear a pair of athletic shoes.
BREATHING DURING EXERCISE
Do not hold your breath while exercising. Breathe normally as much as possible. Remember, breathing involves the intake and distribution of oxygen, which feeds the working muscles. REST PERIODS Once you start your exercise program, you should continue through to the end. Do not break off halfway through and then restart at the same place later on without going through the warm-up stage again. The rest period required between exercises may vary from person to person.Register your product warranty online at: www.BHFitnessUSA.com Questions regarding warranty and parts call: 636.634.2217

1. Care has been taken to assure that your bike has been properly adjusted and lubricated at the
factory. It is not recommended that the user attempt service on the internal components; instead seek service from an authorized service center.
2. From time-to-time the outer surfaces may appear dull or dirty. Following the instructions listed below
will restore and preserve the original nish.
3. Clean the handlebars and seat after each workout with a disinfectant spray, and remove any sweat
from the bike frame.
4. Apply anti-rust to the ywheel every time you clean the machine or at least once a month. Apply a
very light coat of oil in the contact surface of the ywheel with brake to avoid rattling noises.
5. Cleaning metal surfaces may be accomplished by using a soft cotton or terry cloth rag with a light
application of car wax. Do not use aerosol sprays or pump bottles as they may deposit wax on the console surface.
6. From time-to-time the computer surface may collect dust or nger prints. The use of harsh chemicals
will destroy the protective coating and cause a static build up that will damage the components. This surface may be cleaned with cleaning products found in most computer supply stores, specially made for antistatic surfaces. It is strongly recommended that you purchase such a cleaning compound.
