HOW TO PEDAL
1. Start pushing downward on the pedal when the pedal arm is at its highest
position.
2. Stop pedaling when the pedal is at its lowest position.
3. Make sure to press downward with your feet while you are pedaling.
START SLOW & LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!
It is important to start slow to avoid injury.
1. Begin your pedaling workout on the lowest resistance, level 1. If you do not
often ride a bike, beginning at the lowest level gives your muscles a chance
to get used to pedaling.
2. Increase the resistance, as well as your speed and workout duration, as you
get used to the FlexStride.
KEEP YOUR UPPER BODY STILL
Pedaling is easier when you keep your upper body still.
1. Use your legs to pedal, not your body.
2. Your head and upper body should not move while you are pedaling.
3. Don’t rock from side to side.
4. It is easier to keep your body still if you pedal downward by pressing your
feet downward--rather than forward--on the pedals.
SAFETY TIPS
• Place the FlexStride on a sturdy, level, non-slip surface, with at least 12
inches of clearance on all sides. Place a mat or rug under the bike to protect
your carpet or flooring.
• Stop exercising immediately if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or nauseous, or if
you experience pain, tightness in your chest, irregular heartbeat, or extreme
shortness of breath.
• Start with the lowest resistance level.
• Slowly increase the resistance, as well as your speed and workout duration.
• Drink plenty of water before, during, and after exercise.
• Do not sit or stand on the FlexStride.
• Do not use on a full stomach.
