The Cool Down Phase
This stage is to let your cardio-vascular system and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of
the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The
stretching exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your
muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three
times a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.
MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your
INDOOR CYCLE
you will need to have the resistance set quite
high. This will put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as
long as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you may need to alter
your training program. You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases,
but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase resistance, making your legs
work harder than normal. You may have to reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the
target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work
the more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve
your fitness, the difference is the goal.
USE
The tension control knob allows you to alter the resistance of the pedals. A high resistance
makes it more difficult to pedal, a low resistance makes it easier. For the best results set the
tension while the bike is in use.
