There is no heart rate reading or heart rate reading is erratic / inconsistent.	1. Make sure that the wire connections for the hand pulse sensors are secure.2. To ensure the pulse readout is more precise, please always hold on to the handlebar grip sensors with both hands instead of just with one hand when you try to test your heart rate figures.3. Avoid gripping the hand pulse sensors too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the hand pulse sensors.
The upright bike makes a squeaking noise when in use.	The bolts may be loose on the upright bike. Please inspect all of the bolts and tighten any loose bolts.

WARM UP AND COOL DOWN ROUTINE

The WARM-UP is an important part of any workout. The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for two to five minutes before aerobic exercising. It should begin every session to prepare your body for more strenuous exercise by heating up and stretching your muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.

COOL DOWN at the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce soreness in tired muscles. The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its resting state at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to the heart.

HEAD ROLLS

Then rotate your head back for one count, stretching your chin to the ceiling and letting your mouth open. Rotate your head to the left for one count, then drop your head to your chest for one count.
