Regular cardio training stimulates the cardiovascular (heart and blood vessels) and respiratory system. It improves your general health and helps you to burn fat. It is the recommended workout if you want to lose weight. When exercising, glucose is burned off rst, then the fat stored in the body. Intensive cardio training (e.g. circuit training, training with high resistance and long duration training) requires a greater amount of effort and also trains the muscular system and your endurance. As a rule, the more regular you train, the more effective the training is (even with short training sessions of 20 minutes). During the Training The level of resistance used during the workout determines the training intensity and the associated results. An optimal training session includes (1) a warm-up phase, (2) an intensive cardio training phase and nally (3) a cool down phase. If you want to progress or burn calories, you should go through these 3 phases as well as exercise for at least 20-30 minutes on the ergometer.

Always start your training session with a low resistance level. A warm-up phase of 5-10 minutes is important because your muscles need to be warmed up. During the warm-up phase, you should give your circulatory system and muscles time to prepare for the subsequent workout. As a beginner, you can train for the rst 3 minutes at the easiest level and then gradually increase the level to where you feel most comfortable.

2. Cardio Training Phase

After about 10 minutes, you can then begin the cardio training phase. When using the interval training program, the computer controls the resistance depending on the type of interval chosen and thus simulates changing intensities.38

The cardio training phase is considered aerobic or anaerobic training depending on the energy expenditure. These two types of training are dened as follows: Aerobic Training Zone While you are in this zone, you are improving your cardiovascular system and burning fat. Despite an increased heart rate, deeper breathing and light sweating, the body is not in a very stressed state, breathing is not signicantly accelerated—you could still talk to someone without going out of breath—and you feel that you could sustain the physical exertion for a long time. It‘s similar to when you briskly walk uphill. The muscles and heart work more intensely than when the body is at rest and can get most of their energy needs met via aerobic energy production, which utilizes oxygen to facilitate energy production. At the same time, the anaerobic production of energy is also active, but only to a small extent. The lactic acid produced in this process can be broken down to produce energy. Most of your training should be aerobic training. If you continue to increase the intensity, you will eventually come to the threshold where aerobic energy production is no longer able to increase its output. At this point, there is a shift towards anaerobic energy production being used to a greater extent. You are now doing anaerobic training. Anaerobic Training When in this zone, you are improving your performance and speed. When you increase the intensity while in this zone, the training becomes much more strenuous because of the rising lactate level in the body; you start sweating more; your breathing gets faster; and after some time depending on your tness level, your muscles tire and you feel totally exhausted and that you can no longer continue at this level of intensity.39

At the end of the cardio training phase, you begin the cool-down phase, which should last for at least 5 minutes. Here, you use low levels of resistance. The recovery or cool-down phase is also helpful with regard to preventing possible muscle soreness. It is also advisable to do active recuperation after an intensive training session, such as a hot bath, a sauna session or a massage. Training Progress Each month you can make the training more challenging by extending the duration of the cardio training phase, by using a higher level of resistance within that phase or by doing a more demanding interval training. Eating and Drinking

• Drink before, during and after training.

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

• If your workout lasts for more than 1 hour, you should drink a sports drink to protect the body from dehydration while training.

• For optimal cardio training, suitable nutrition before and after any physical activity is very important. Before training, it is best to eat carbohydrates, such as those found in rice and pasta, as they provide the body with an important source of energy. After training, you need to refuel with proteins, such as those found in eggs, yoghurt and dried fruits. Even if you want to lose weight, it is absolutely necessary to eat after training in order for your body to recuperate.40

Perform the movements before each workout to mobilize your joints and activate your muscles. Should a movement be uncomfortable or painful, skip this movement and consult your doctor or tness instructor about suitable warm-up movements. Each movement should be repeated (right and left) so that you can start the cardio training relaxed. Take about 5 minutes to do the following CapitalSports training routine:

1. Tilt the head sideways, slowly alternating from right to left. Then mobilize

your shoulders (circular movements and shrugging the shoulders).

2. Turn the hips while the arms are stretched out. The feet are not rmly

xed to the ground (the ankles follow the body’s rotation).

3. Bend to the side and raise one arm straight up. Stay in this position for

several seconds on each side.

4. Bend to the side and raise both arms above your head with palms together.

Again, remain on each side for several seconds. The exercise is now a bit more intense with the second arm joining.

5. Stand on one leg and hold the instep of the other foot with your hand.

Mobilize it so as to stretch the thigh lightly. If necessary, hold onto something to keep your balance. Stand on one leg and trace a circle with your foot in the air in both directions (counter clockwise and clockwise).

6. Put one leg forward and with your arms support the weight of your upper

body on your thigh. Position your legs so as to provide a stretch for the rear leg’s calf muscles.

7. Repeat the previous exercise with more distance between your feet. The

stretch will now be more intense.

8. Bend forward while keeping your legs straight and alternatingly touch

each hand to the opposite foot. Finally, let yourself hang down and relax.42

Note: As with all training machines with mechanical, moving components, screws may loosen due to frequent use. We therefore recommend that you check them regularly and, if necessary, retighten them with a suitable key. Clean your training device regularly with a damp cloth to clean the surfaces from sweat and dust.

• When you don’t use the exercise bike for a long time, please take out the console battery to avoid running out of battery.

• Often clean the exercise bike with clean cloth to keep the clean appearance.

• The safety level of the equipment only can be maintained if it is regularly examined for damage and or /wear and tear.(e.g. handle bar, pedals and seat ...etc.).It is vital that any faulty parts are replaced and the it is not used until completed repaired.

• Regularly check that the elements fastened with nuts and bolts are correctly tightened.

• Remember regularly to grease moving parts.

• Special attention to the component, most of them are susceptible to wear like brake system, foot pad etc.

• As sweat is very corrosive, do not allow it to come into contact with the enameled or chromed parts of the equipment, particularly the computer. Immediately wipe the equipment after using. The enameled parts can be cleaned using a damp sponge. All aggressive or corrosive products must be avoided.

• Storing the equipment in a clean and dry environment away from children.43
