How to use your Oxy Cycle Sync
When using the unit, the proper way to exercise is to set the desired tension by turning the
Tension Control Knob, and then pedaling
to get the best results.
Pedaling at excessive speeds or applying excessive force will damage the product or may
cause injury to persons. Please begin exercise at a slow pedaling speed.
Routine
People vary in how they adapt to repetitive exercise. In developing an exercise routine,
pay attention to how you feel, especially after an exercise is completed. You may feel tired
but you should not feel exhausted. When you first start exercising, the principal muscles
you use will ache slightly, especially the next day. However, they should not hurt to cramp.
No matter what the recommended exercise routine, never exercise beyond the point of
discomfort.
For the first two weeks, you should begin with 5-10 minutes once a day at a slow pedaling
speed. After the first two weeks, you can increase the exercise time to 15-20 minutes as
you become more accustomed to the exercise. The pedaling speed can also be increased
once you have adapted to the device. Longer periods of exercise will result in greater
gains for you.
Leg Exercise
Place the unit on a level and non-slip surface and sit comfortably in a chair, the unit
directly in front of you. The knee joint should not be flexed less than 90 degrees. Wear
rubber soled shoes when on the pedals. Barefooted use of the unit is not recommended.
Leg exercise works with passive motion to increase tone of the quadriceps muscles
(muscles in the thigh) and circulate blood flow to the entire lower leg and foot.
WARNING
Do not stand on the unit to exercise, only exercise in a seated position. Make sure
the seat does not move or pivot. Do not sit in a chair with casters.
