Using the MagneTrainer with Your Legs
Start at the Minimum Resistance
When you first get the bike, start off at the lowest pedal resistance setting. Gradually increase
the tension as you get used to pedaling the bike downward. It’s easier to learn how to use the
bike correctly at the lower resistances.
Pedal Downward (Very Important!
)
The most important advice we can give you is
to pedal downward. This will keep the bike in
place. If the bike slides or tilts forward, then
you are pedaling forward. You can pedal
downward even when sitting on a couch or a
low chair. For a more detailed explanation, go
to the link below.
Point your Toes Forward
If you point your toes upward, your heels may
hit the ground or the
Fixed Leg
. If this happens,
simply rotate your feet so that they are pointing
more toward the forward direction.
Don’t Overextend your Legs
Your knees should be bent about 25 degrees from fully-extended when the pedal is farthest
away from you.
Use the Dycem Pads to Help Keep the Bike in Place
Use the Dycem Pads to improve the traction of the bike. See Page 5 for Details.

Using the MagneTrainer with Your Arms
Place the bike on a table top to exercise your arms.
You can pedal in the forward and reverse directions to
work different muscle groups.
Pedal Downward!
If the bike rocks forward, concentrate on pedaling
more in the downward direction.
Start at the Minimum Resistance
When you first get the bike, start off at the lowest pedal resistance setting. Gradually increase
the tension as you get used to pedaling the bike.

Adjusting the Pedal Resistance
Turn the knob clockwise to make it harder to pedal. Turn it counter-
clockwise to make it easier to pedal.
Important!
It takes over 5 complete rotations of the knob to go
from minimum to maximum pedal resistance. The knob will stop
rotating when you reach the minimum and maximum settings.
