3. The Cool Down Phase
This stage is to let your Cardio-vascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the
warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching
exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the
stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three
times a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.
MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your Magnetic cycle you will need to have the resistance set quite high.
This will put more strain on our 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 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 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. Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve your
fitness, the difference is the goal.
TROUBLE SHOOTING.
1.
Computer not working correctly.
If your computer is not working correctly, please check
whether the lower sensor wire is connected to the upper sensor wire, and make sure the
upper sensor wire is plugged into the computer. When you have checked the above, and
the computer still not working, then please make sure the batteries are installed correctly in
the computer and that the batteries are still working.
2.
No resistance.
If there is no tension resistance on the bike, please make sure the upper
tension cable is connected to the lower tension cable.
MAINTENANCE
1. Before using the bike, always make sure all bolts/nuts are fully tightened.
2. A spent battery is hazardous waste, please dispose of it correctly, and do not throw it in the
trash.
3. When eventually you want to scrap the machine, you should remove the batteries from the
computer, and dispose separately as hazardous waste.
