Muscle toning
To tone muscle while on your fitness trainer you will
need to have the resistance set quite high. This will
put more strain on our 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 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. You will 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.
Heart rate
Pulse rate measurement
(hand pulse sensors)
The pulse rate is measured by sensors in the
handlebars when the user is touching both sensors
at the same time. Accurate pulse measurement
requires that the skin is slightly moist and constantly
touching the hand pulse sensors. If the skin is too
dry or too moist, the pulse rate measurement will
become less accurate.
‼ NOTE
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an
alarm will sound when it is exceeded.
Maximum heart rate
(during training)
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate
a person can safely achieve through exercise
stress. The following formula is used to calculate
the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The
maximum heart rate varies from person to person.
⚠ WARNING
• Make sure that you do not exceed your
maximum heart rate during your workout.
If you belong to a risk group, consult a
physician.
