Using the DeskCycle (continued)
Getting Cardio Workout with the DeskCycle
The following steps demonstrate how to do this.
1. Set the pedal resistance to 4.
2. Sit in a taller chair so that you pedal downward on the pedals.
3. Pedal the bike at a speed of at least 30 mph.
Within a few minutes your legs will burn and your heart rate will quickly elevate. Most people won’t
be able to maintain 30 mph for more than a few minutes.
Note, this is for demonstration purposes only!

Other Times to Use the DeskCycle
Use the DeskCycle while:
• Working at your desk
• Watching television
• Playing video games
• Reading a book
• Using your phone
• Other times when you’re sitting and your legs are free
Ergonomic Considerations
1. Keep your Back Supported
If your chair seat is too deep, you may need to sit towards the front of your chair in order to use the
bike. In this case you should place a lumbar cushion behind your back for support.
2. Sit up Straight
Don’t slouch. Sitting up straight while using the DeskCycle will help strengthen your core. It’s also
good for your spine.

For an excellent arm workout, place the DeskCycle on top of your desk and pedal with your arms.
