Part Order Number and Description 

With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start
your own workout program to tone and firm the major muscle groups of
your lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness
level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is toning, health 
maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.

Proper exercise, including a low fat diet, strength training and aerobic
exercise, tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand,
walk, lift and turn. It can actually transform our body composition by
reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in 
our bodies. Using the bike will help in reducing body fat and increasing
cardiovascular endurance.

Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.

It is the authoritative source of information about your Recumbent Bike.

Retain this manual for future reference.

CONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING YOUR

EDGE 595r RECUMBENT BIKE

4. Back Stretch

Stand with your legs shoulder length apart and your knees
slightly bent. Bend forward from your waist with your arms
extending loosely in front of your body. Gently bend from 
the waist flexing your body as far forward as it will go.

Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Straighten up and repeat.

5. Standing Hamstrings Stretch

Stand with your legs hip-width apart. Extend one leg out in 
front of you and keep that foot flat against the ground. With
your hands resting lightly on your thighs, bend your back leg
and lean forward slightly from your hips until you feel a stretch 
in the back of your thigh. Be sure to lean forward from the hip
joint rather than bending at your waist.

Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite leg.

6. Buttocks, Hips and Abdominal Stretch

Lay flat on your back with your hips relaxed against the floor.
Bend one leg at the knee. Keeping both shoulders flat on the
floor, gently grasp the bent knee with your hands and pull it over
your body and towards the ground. You should feel a stretch in
your hips, abdominals and lower back.

Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and release. Repeat for opposite side.

7. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit on the floor and bend your legs so that the soles of your feet
are together. Place your elbows on your knees. Lean forward
from the waist and press down lightly on the inside of your knees.
You should feel a stretch in the muscles of your inside thigh.

Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and release.

8. Arm Pullback

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and toes pointing 
forward and with your knees slightly bent. Let your arms hang
relaxed on either side of your body. Expand your chest and pull
your shoulders back. Bend your elbows slightly and clasp your
hands behind your back. Slowly straighten your arms as you lift
your hands upward. Raise your hands upward until you feel mild
tension in your shoulder and chest region.

Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Lower your arms to their original 
position and bend your elbows. Release your hands and return
them to your sides.
