MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your
PROGRAMMABLE MAGNETIC BIKE
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 the 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. This is effectively the same as if you were training to improve your
fitness, the difference being the goal.
SAFETY
1 Make sure all parts are securely fastened before using your cycle - tighten any loose nuts and
bolts.

Shortness of Breath, Excessively Fast Heart Rate, A Throbbing Head or Pains in the Chest.
