ENGLISH
ADJUSTMENTS
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Set the right height for you; the basic rule is that the arch
of the foot reaches reaches the the pedal at its lowest
point with the leg almost straight. Adjust the seat height
by loosening the seat locking knob. Hold on to the seat
with one hand and, using your other hand, pull the
locking knob outwards in order to enable free seat tube
movement upwards and downwards. Once the height is
right, let go of the knob and the seat locks into place. Turn
the locking knob clockwise to tighten.
NOTE!
Always make sure that the locking knob is
properly fastened before starting to exercise!
HANDLEBAR SETUP
Loosen the locking knob on the front of the handlebar
support and find the right angle at which to position
the handlebar. Tighten the locking knob. The design
of the handlebar allows you to exercise either in an
upright position or with the upper body leaning forward.
Remember, however, always to keep your back straight.
NOTE!
Always make sure that the locking knob is
properly fastened before starting to exercise!
CONSOLE INCLINATION ADJUSTMENT
Set the inclination of the meter so that it
corresponds to your height and exercise position.
ADJUSTMENT OF SUPPORT FEET
If the equipment is not stable, adjust the adjustment
screws below the support feet as necessary.
EXERCISING
Working out with this device is excellent aerobic exercise,
the principle being that the exercise should be suitably
light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on
improving the body’s maximum oxygen upteke, which
in turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability of
the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on
its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should be
above all pleasant. You should work up a light sweat but
you should not get out of breath during the workout.
You should exercise at least three times a week,
30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level.
Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions each
week. Once the basic condition has been reached, it
is easily improved, simply by increasing the number of
exercise sessions. You should start slowly at a low pedalling
speed and low resistance, because for an overweight
person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and
circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness improves,
resistance and pedalling speed can be increased
gradually.
ADJUSTING RESISTANCE
To increase or decrease resistance, turn the adjustment
knob at the top of the handlebar support tube clockwise
(+ direction) to increase resistance and counterclockwise
(- direction) to decrease resistance. The scale above the
knob (1-8) helps you find and reset a suitable resistance.
HEART RATE
No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by
training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is
your own heart rate.
PULSE MEASUREMENT WITH
HANDGRIP SENSORS
Hand pulse is measured using the sensors located
on the handlebars. The sensors measure electric
impulses, which are formed when the person’s heart
is beating. Measurement is started by touching both
handlebar sensors simultaneously. To ensure reliable
pulse measurement, skin must be slightly moist and skin
contact with sensors must be continuous. If skin is too dry
or too wet, the hand pulse measurement operation is less
reliable. Try to keep your upper body and palms relaxed
and still.
First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate
doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t know your
maximum heart rate, please use the following formula as
a guide:
220 - AGE
These are average values and the maximum varies from
person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes on
average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk
group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate
for you.
We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help
you with targeted training.
BEGINNER:
50-60 % of maximum heart-rate
Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents
and those who haven’t exercised for a long time.
Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is
recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves
beginners’ respiratory and circulatory performance and
you will quickly feel your improvement.
TRAINER:
60-70 % of maximum heart-rate
Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even
reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs
effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least
three times a week. To improve your condition still further,
increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the
same time!
ACTIVE TRAINER:
70-80 % of maximum heart-rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes
long-endurance workouts.
