BEFORE GETTING STARTED
It is always important to consult a physician for a complete physical examination before starting any
exercise program. Beyond identifying any risk factors you may have, your health professional can assist
you in developing an exercise program which establishes the frequency and intensity appropriate for
your age and current health status.
The HOIST® LeMond® Series RC is an excellent choice for all fitness levels, including overweight or
severely unconditioned individuals in that it provides more seat adjustability and the lowest pedaling re-
quirement of all other fitness recumbent bikes. However, if you consider yourself such an individual, you
should still exercise caution when using this equipment for the first time. Overexertion or the possibility
of injury exists when starting any new exercise program.

WARNING: If at any time during a workout, you experience pain or tightness in
the chest, an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, feel faint or severe
discomfort of any kind, STOP exercising immediately. Consult your physician
before continuing your program.
