ADJUSTMENTS

Notice: you have to get off the bicycle to make any adjustments (seat, headrest).

HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE SEAT AND THE HANDLEBARS

For an effective workout, the seat and the handlebars must be adjusted properly.

While you are pedaling, your knees should be slightly bent when the pedals are at the farthest position. In order to adjust the seat, unscrew and pull the knob on the seat post. Adjust the seat to the right height, as indicated in the reference table below, reinsert the knob in the seat post and tighten it all the way.

Next, repeat the same operation for the handlebars. To find the position corresponding to your height, please refer to the table below titled: "Adjusting the Handlebars":

Make sure to put the knob back into place in the seat/handles bars post and tighten it completely.

Never exceed the maximum height of the seat.

Never exceed the maximum handlebar height

2 HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAP

The new-generation foot wedges are easy to use and require no adjustment.

LEVELING THE BICYCLE

In case of instability of the bicycle during use, turn one of the plastic end knobs on the rear support leg or both, until the instability is eliminated.

Braking and resistance are connected to pedaling speed.

A modern electronic system enables you to adjust the braking resistance using "+" and "-" functions of the console (the resistance level is indicated on the screen).

USING YOUR CONSOLE

1. STARTING

Plug the bicycle into the power outlet via the adaptor provided (DC 6V, 500mA). The electric connection is on the rear foot of the bike.

If the bicycle is already plugged in, press on any button or start pedaling.

2. CHOOSING A USER PROFILE U1 - U4:

After starting, the screen displays U1, meaning that the profile selected is user 1.

The console thus offers the possibility of saving the data from individual workouts for 4 different users U1-U4.

E.g. time, distance, calories.

Choose your user profile with UP/DOWN and confirm your selection with ENTER. The console will now save the parameters you have selected, so you won't have to reset the console when you start your next training session.

After inputting your user profile, the 4 training mode icons begin to flash at the top of the screen, at which point you can select your training mode.

3. SELECTING YOUR TRAINING MODE:

You can choose from 4 training modes:

MANUAL

PROGRAM

USER,

TARGET H.R.

Which you select with the UP/DOWN keys, and confirm your choice with ENTER.

MANUAL TRAINING: MODE MANUAL

The MANUAL mode allows you to manually control the intensity of your workout by increasing or decreasing the resistance level.

Braking resistance level:

This is represented by the flashing resistance bar.

To choose the desired level of resistance, use the UP/DOWN keys. There are 16 levels of resistance between 1 and 16; 1 being the lowest and 16 the highest.

You can choose and set one or several training objectives using MODE to choose it and UP/DOWN to set its target value:

Objectives:

TIME :

Time in minutes of exercising

DISTANCE :

Distance to be covered

CALORIES :

Number of calories to be burned

It is a countdown, and the training session stops automatically when each of the objectives have been reached.

The "P" icon indicating "Pause" starts flashing in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, and a beep sounds to indicate this stop.

If the values are set to 0, they will increment during the workout and there will be no automatic stop.

After setting the desired resistance and your training objectives, start your training session by pressing on START/STOP.

TRAINING BY PROGRAM: PROGRAM P1 - P6

Select this mode using UP/DOWN and confirm by pressing on MODE.

This mode gives you access to the bicycle's 6 automatic programs. The pictograms below the screen indicate the exertion profile of each program.

Once you have chosen PROGRAM mode, the first program, P1, is displayed on the screen. Use the UP/DOWN keys to select the program you want and confirm using MODE.

If you wish, you can adjust the resistance of the program, using UP/DOWN followed by MODE.

You can then set one or several objectives in the same way as in MANUAL mode described above.

Start your workout by pressing on START/STOP

If the program's pre-selected resistance is too low or too high, you can increase it manually at any time, without interrupting the workout, by using UP/DOWN

CUSTOMIZED PROGRAM: USER

The USER function allows you to create a program on your own that will be added to the 6 pre-loaded programs.

Select USER mode using UP/DOWN and confirm by pressing on MODE.

Next, choose the intensity of each of the segments of the programmed profile, using UP/DOWN, and proceed by pressing on UP/DOWN twice when setting the following segment.

Complete your program profile in this way and begin your workout by pressing on START/STOP.

You can then set one or several objectives in the same way as MANUAL mode described above.

CARDIAC PROGRAM: ET HEART RATE

Choose TARGET HR mode with UP/DOWN to do a workout controlled by your target heart rate, and confirm by pressing on MODE.

Next, enter your age using UP/DOWN and MODE.

The console will then offer a target heart rate at 55% of the maximum heart rate for the age you entered. You can increase this percentage to 75% or even 90% , or "THR" using UP/DOWN.

The THR function enables you to enter an individual heart rate expressed in beats / minute instead of a pre-selected percentage.

After you choose THR the console first offers a default frequency of 100 beats / minute in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Use MODE and UP/DOWN to enter your desired value, between 30 and 240 beats per minute, then confirm the entry with MODE.

For a guideline for setting a heart rate goal, please refer to the chart below, which provides indicative values.

Important: this is only an estimate, which in no case should be considered a medical certainty.

Please note that before undertaking any sport it is necessary to consult a doctor!

You can then choose an additional goal such as TIME, DISTANCE, etc. using MODE or start your program using START/STOP.

The resistance decreases automatically by one level every 15 seconds if your heart rate is too high. If it is too low the resistance increases by one level every 30 seconds, until level 16 is reached.

Please note:

You have to keep both hands correctly positioned on the heartbeat sensors.

You cannot adjust the resistance of the bicycle manually in THR mode.

You can stop the workout immediately in any training mode, by pressing on START/STOP.

CARDIO TRAINING : EXERCISE RANGE

• Training at 80% to 90% of maximum heart rate and higher: Anaerobic and red zones reserved for competitive, specialized athletes.

• Training at 70 - 80% of maximum heart rate: endurance training.

• Training at 60 - 70% of maximum heart rate: Getting into shape/Burning off fat.

• Training at 50 to 60% of maximum heart rate: Maintenance/Warm-up

NOTICE AND WARNINGS TO USERS

Getting into shape must be done in a controlled manner.

Before beginning physical activity, do not hesitate to CONSULT a PHYSICIAN, especially if you have not exercised in recent years, you are over 35 years old, you are not certain of your health, or you are receiving medical treatment.

BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY SPORT IT IS NECESSARY TO CONSULT A DOCTOR.

EXPLANATION OF SCREEN INDICATIONS

CARDIO-TRAINING EXERCISE

Cardio-training exercise is a form of aerobics (conditioning the body in the presence of oxygen) and allows you to improve your cardio-vascular capacity. To be more precise, you will improve the tonicity of the heart and your blood vessels. Cardio-training exercise carries the oxygen breathed in from the air to your muscles. It is the heart that pumps this oxygen through the body and, in particular, to the muscles being exercised.

PHASES OF A PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

A Warm-up phase : progressive effort

Warming up is a preparatory phase before any activity. It puts the person INTO OPTIMUM CONDITIONS for carrying out his or her favorite sport. It is a METHOD OF PREVENTING ACCIDENTS TO TENDONS AND MUSCLES. There are two aspects: WAKING UP THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM, GENERAL WARMING UP.

1) The muscular system is prepared in a SPECIAL STRETCHING SESSION which PREPARES FOR EACH ACTIVITY: each group of muscles is used, joints are used.
2) Global warming up gradually brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system into action, improves irrigation of the muscles and prepares for making efforts. It must be sufficiently long: 10 min for a leisure sport activity, 20 min for a competition sport activity. Note that warming up must be longer: after 55 years old, in the morning.

B Training

TRAINING is the main phase of your physical activity. You can improve your physical condition by REGULAR training.

• Anaerobie exercice to develop endurance.
• Aerobic exercice to develop cardio-pulmonary resistance.

Slowing down

This is the continuation of an activity at low intensity, the gradual "return to rest" phase. SLOWING DOWN brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system, the blood flow and muscles back to "normal" (eliminating the counter effects of an exercise, such as lactic acids, the accumulation of which is one of the major causes of muscular pains such as cramps and stiff muscles).

Stretching

STRETCHING must follow the slowing down phase while joints are still warm in order to reduce risks of injury. Stretching after an activity : minimizes MUSCULAR STIFFNESS due to an accumulation of LACTIC ACIDS, “stimulates” BLOOD CIRCULATION.

PARTS OF THE BODY WORKED

The exercise bike provides an excellent kind of cardio-training activity. Training on this equipment is designed to increase your cardio-vascular capacity. On this principle, you improve your physical condition, your endurance and you burn calories (an indispensable activity for weight loss in association with dieting).

Finally, the exercise bike allows you to tone the muscles in the legs and buttocks.

The muscles in the calves and the lower abdominals are also worked.

USAGE

When just starting out, begin by training over several days with a slight resistance and pedalling speed, without forcing, and taking rest breaks as needed. Then progressively increase the frequency or duration of your exercise sessions.

Weight Maintenance/Warm-up: progressive effort starting at 10 minutes.

For a workout designed either to keep you in shape or for re-education purposes, you may train every day for around ten minutes. This type of exercise is designed to stimulate your muscles and joints or may be used as a warm-up to additional physical activity. To increase the muscle tone of the legs, select a higher resistance and lengthen the exercise period.

Of course, you may vary the pedalling resistance throughout your exercise session.

Aerobic fitness workout: moderate effort for a fairly long period (35 min to 1 hour).

If you wish to lose weight, this type of exercise, combined with a diet, is the only way to increase the quantity of energy consumed by

the organism. Nevertheless, it is pointless to push yourself beyond your limits. It is the regularity of training that will allow you to obtain the best results.

Select a fairly weak pedalling resistance and exercise at your own rhythm, but at least for a period of 30 minutes. This exercise should raise a slight sweat but should under no circumstances leave you breathless. It's the duration of the exercise, at a slow rhythm, that will require your organism to draw its energy from your fat reserves provided that you pedal for more than thirty minutes, a minimum of three times a week.

Aerobic training for endurance: sustained effort for 20 to 40 minutes.

This type of training targets significant reinforcement of the cardiac muscle and improved respiratory activity.

The resistance and/or speed of pedalling is increased so as to increase respiration during the exercise. The effort here is more sustained than for the maintenance workout.

As your training progresses, you will be able to sustain the effort for longer periods, at a faster rate or with a higher degree of resistance. You may train a minimum of three times a week for this type of training.

Training at a faster rate (anaerobic workout and workout in the red zone) is reserved for athletes and requires adequate preparation.

After each training session, take several minutes to pedal with diminishing speed and resistance in order to cool down and progressively bring the body to a state of rest.
