Workouts
The workout must be suitably light, but
of long duration. Aerobic exercise is
based on improving the body’s maximum
oxygen uptake, which in turn improves
endurance and fitness. You should
perspire, but you should not get out of
breath during the workout.
To reach and maintain a basic fitness
level, exercise at least three times a
week, 30 minutes at a time. Increase the
number of exercise sessions to improve
your fitness level. It is worthwhile to
combine regular exercise with a healthy
diet. A person committed to dieting
should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes
or less at a time, gradually increasing the
daily workout time to one hour. Start your
workout at low speed and low resistance
to prevent the cardiovascular system
from being subjected to excessive strain.
As the fitness level improves, speed and
resistance can be increased gradually.
The efficiency of your exercise can be
measured by monitoring your heart rate
and your pulse rate.
Use
Adjusting the support feet
The equipment is equipped with 4
support feet. If the equipment is not
stable, the support feet can be adjusted.
1. Turn the support feet as required
to put the equipment in a stable
position.
2. Tighten the locknuts to lock the
support feet.
NOTE
The machine is the most stable when all
support feet are turned fully in. Therefore
start to level the machine by turning all
support feet fully in, before turning out
the required support feet to stable the
machine.
Heart rate measurement
(heart rate chest belt)
The most accurate heart rate
measurement is achieved with a
heart rate chest belt. The heart rate is
measured by a heart rate receiver in
combination with a heart rate transmitter
belt. Accurate heart measurement
requires that the electrodes on the
transmitter belt are slight moist and
constantly touching the skin. If the
electrodes are too dry or too moist, the
heart rate measurement might become
less accurate.
WARNING
If you have a pacemaker, consult a
physician before using a heart rate chest
belt.
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.
WARNING
Heart rate monitoring systems may be
inaccurate. Over exercise may result in
serious injury or death. If you feel faint
stop exercising immediately.
Most accurate pulse measurement is
achieved when 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 might
become less accurate.
NOTE
Do not use the hand pulse sensors in
combination with a heart rate chest belt.
If you set a heart rate limit for your
workout, an alarm will sound when it is
exceeded.
