Follow the steps below to adjust the seat height (FIG. 4): • Stand next to the machine and adjust the seat to hip height (FIG. 4A). • The height of the saddle and handlebars should be the same (FIG. 4B). If not, adjust the handlebar height to match the saddle height. • Make sure your knee is just behind your foot when your foot is towards the front of the machine (FIG. 4C). • Adjust the handlebars so that the distance between the saddle and the handlebars is equal to the length of your forearm (FIG. 4D).

Leveling Make sure that the bike is always on a stable surface. If in doubt, a rubber mat can be placed underneath the exercise bike to ensure a better grip on the floor. The bike can be adjusted by turning the adjustable feet on either side of the bike (FIG. A). This allows the bike to compensate for unevenness in the floor. Safety straps

TRAINING WITH HEART RATE

Hand sensors This VirtuFit fitness machine is equipped with hand sensors for measuring heart rate. The hand sensors are attached to the handle and only work if both sensors are held for a longer period of time. For optimal performance, it is important that the hands are slightly moist and exert constant pressure on the sensors. Hands that are too dry or moist may cause abnormal readings. NOTE! To avoid interference, never use the hand sensors with a wireless heart rate monitor. Wireless heart rate receiver (5 kHz) This VirtuFit fitness device is equipped with a wireless heart rate receiver. For the heart rate measurement with a wireless heart rate monitor, you use a heart rate monitor which works on a 5 kHz frequency. With a wireless heart rate monitor, it is important that the electrodes are slightly moist and the heart rate monitor fits well to your body. Refer to your heart rate monitor's user manual for proper instructions. Incorrect use of the heart rate monitor may result in abnormal readings.ENGLISH

C, 1-5) A successful training program includes a warm-up, the actual training and a cool-down. Perform the complete training program at least twice, but preferably three times a week and keep a rest day between training sessions. After a few months, the intensity of the training can be increased, for example to four or five times a week. The warm-up The purpose of a warm-up is to prepare the body for training and to reduce the risk of injury. Warm up your body for two to five minutes before starting a cardio or strength training session. Do exercises that increase the heart rate and warm up the working muscles. Examples of this type of activity are running, jogging, jumping jacks, skipping and running in place. Stretching Stretching while the muscles are warm is very important after a good warm-up and cool-down. It reduces the risk of injury. Stretching exercises should be held for 15-30 seconds. Here are some examples of stretching exercises:

• Toe touch (Fig. C-1)

• Inner thight stretch (Fig. C-2)

• Side stretch (Fig. C-5) Cooling down The purpose of the cool-down is to return the body to its (near) normalNEDERLANDS
