Hexagon socket screw 6

Mount the front foot (8) on the main part (1) and x with two carriage bolts (11), two bow washers (24) and two cap nuts (19). Attach the rear foot (2) to the main body in the same way.27

Put the upper and lower handle bar parts (3 / 4 and 6) together. Screw them together with two hexagon socket screws (13) and washers (23) each.28

Remove the washer and plastic nut (21 + 18) from one side of the hub (22). Pass the hub (22) through the hole in the right handlebar (4), through the main part and nally through the left handlebar (3). Secure on both sides with washers (21) and plastic nuts (18). Place the end caps (31) on the nuts (18) for protection.29

Remove the plastic nut (15) and the collars (33 + 28) from the left pedal (29). Slide the left pedal onto the cuff (33), the connecting rod (10), the second cuff (28) and the crank (9). Fix with the previously removed plastic nut (Attention: Turn the left-hand thread anti-clockwise!). Repeat on the other side (note: NO left-hand thread here).30

Remove the three nuts (27) and washers (27) from the saddle (26). Mount the saddle on the seat post (5) with it and x the nuts again. Slide the seat post into the receptacle in the main part (1). Slide to the desired position and nally x with the lock pin (25).31

Join the two ends of the sensor cable (12 + 20) together. Mount the bracket (7) on the main part and x it with two Allen screws (13). Remove the two screws (14) from the back of the training computer. Use these to mount the training computer on the bracket. Connect the plug of the sensor cable (12) to the back of the training computer.32

TRAINING COMPUTER The training computer requires two AA batteries. Insert them according to the polarity shown inside the battery compartment. Functions Press the MODE button several times or simply press the RESET button to cycle through the following functions: MODE TIME Display of the past training time 0:00 - 99:59 min SPEED Speed travelled 0.0 - 999.9 km/h DISTANCE Distance travelled 0.0 - 9999 km CALORIES Calories consumed (estimated approximate value)

Regular cardio training stimulates the cardiovascular system (heart and respiration). You improve your tness, lose weight and burn fat. So this is the recommended workout if you want to lose weight. During exercise, glucose is burnt rst, then the fats stored in the body are burnt through the exercises. Demanding cardio training (e.g. interval training, training with high resistance and over a longer period of time) requires more effort and also trains the muscles in addition to endurance. As a rule, the more regular the training, the more efcient it is (even for short 20-minute sessions). During the training The resistance during the cardio training phase decisively determines the training intensity and the related training results. Optimal training includes a warm-up phase (1), a more intense cardio training phase (2) and the nal recovery phase (3). If you want to make progress or burn calories, you should go through these 3 phases and train on the ergometer for at least 20 - 30 minutes.

Always start your workout with a low resistance. A warm-up of 5-10 minutes is important because your muscles need to be warmed up. Especially during the warm-up phase, you should give the circulation and muscle groups time to adjust to the subsequent workout. As a beginner, you can train for the rst 3 minutes at the easiest level and increase gradually according to your personal well-being.

2. Cardio training phase

After about 10 minutes you can then switch to the cardio training phase. If you are using interval training programmes, the training computer controls the resistance according to the type of interval, simulating changing demands.34

The cardio training phase is assigned to the aerobic or anaerobic training range depending on the energy consumption. These areas are dened as follows: Aerobic training area In this zone you improve your cardiovascular system and burn fat. Despite the slight exertion with increased heart rate, deeper breathing, getting warm and light sweating, you do not feel very exerted, however, breathing is not signicantly accelerated so that you could still have a good conversation with someone without getting out of breath, and you feel that you could sustain this exertion for a longer time without getting exhausted. It is like walking uphill at a leisurely pace. The muscles and heart work more intensively and can obtain the majority of their energy requirements from aerobic energy production using oxygen. Anaerobic energy production is activated to a small amount, but only to the extent that all the lactic acid produced can be broken down again at the same time. You should do the majority of your training in this aerobic training zone. If you continue to increase the load, then at some point you will reach a limit where oxygen-based energy production is no longer able to increase energy production, so anaerobic energy production has to join in to a greater extent. You are now entering the anaerobic training zone. Anaerobic training area In this zone you improve your performance and speed. Once you increase your training again in this phase, the physical activity becomes much more strenuous because of the rising lactate level, you start to sweat more, your breathing speeds up, and after more or less time, depending on the training condition, the muscles get tired, you feel exhausted overall and can no longer continue at this level.35

Finally, remain in the recovery phase for at least 5 minutes and again use low resistance levels without high effort. The recovery or recuperation phase is also helpful in preventing possible muscle soreness after training. After an intensive training session, active regeneration is also highly advisable, such as a hot bath, a visit to the sauna or a massage. Training progress Your training can be increased monthly in this way, especially by extending the cardio training phase or performing a higher resistance level (or more challenging interval training). Food and drink

• Drink before, during and after exercise.

• Drink at least 2 sips of water (10 to 20 cl) every 10-15 minutes during exercise.

• If your workout lasts longer than 1 hour, you should drink a sports drink to prevent the body from becoming dehydrated during exercise.

• For optimal cardio training, it is very important to have an aligned diet both before and after physical activity. Before training, you should preferably eat carbohydrates, which can be found in rice and pasta, for example, as they provide the body with an important amount of energy. After training, you need to "refuel" with proteins, which you can nd in eggs, yoghurt and dried fruits. Even if you want to lose weight, it is absolutely necessary to eat after training so that your body regenerates.36
