FlexStride User Manual Lifepro
CREATE A CUSTOM CYCLING WORKOUT
Create a custom aerobic workout with your desired speed, intensity, and duration:
1. Adjust the pedal tension (see below) to your desired resistance level.
2. Place your feet flat on the pedals.
3. Begin pedaling, forwards or backwards, at your desired speed. You can check your
speed on the monitor. Speed is displayed in RPMs (rotations/strides per minute).
4. Keep an eye on the monitor to track your workout duration.
ADJUSTING THE PEDAL RESISTANCE/TENSION
The FlexStride has eight levels of resistance (1-8). Level 1 is the lowest resistance
level and provides the easiest pedaling. Level 8 is the highest resistance level and
provides the most intense pedaling workout.
1. Turn the Tension Control Knob to the right or left to adjust the resistance level.
Align the arrow on the knob to the tension level you would like to select.
2. Turn the knob to the right to increase the resistance level. Turn the knob to the
left to decrease the resistance level.
TETHERING TO A CHAIR WHEN USING ON SLIPPERY FLOORS
The FlexStride comes with a long strap which can be used to tether it to a chair.
Most users will NOT need to tether the FlexStride; pedaling with downward force
will prevent it from slipping on carpet and most other surfaces. To tether the
FlexStride when using it on a slippery surface:
1. Position the FlexStride in front of a
chair.
2. Sit in the chair and begin pedaling.
Your feet should easily reach the
pedals while sitting in the chair. Your
knees should be slightly bent when the
pedals are furthest from you.
3. Unbuckle the tether strap and route it
through the carry handle and around
the chair as shown.
4. Pull the strap taut and re-connect the
buckle.
5. Pedal the bike to make sure the
distance is correct. Adjust if necessary.
