TRAINING BASICS
All tips are intended only as general training tips. The tips listed here have no medicinal
value and are intended solely as a source of information on various types of training.
For a personal detailed training program, please consult a specialist. People that have
heart problems or suffer from any condition that might be worsened by unusual or non-
individual training programs or activities, MUST consult their physicians before beginning
any kind of training.
When training, each individual has different goals. Some are driven by the wish to build
muscle while others wish to improve their physical condition and health in general.
Muscles respond to stimuli and, simply put, the higher the stimulus the stronger the
response. In layman's terms, this means that when a muscle is required to make a great
effort, it will grow in size in order to face the same effort in the future. On the other hand,
when muscles are required to perform over longer periods, they tend to decrease in size
in order to sustain the effort for an extended time.
When training, each individual needs to set his or her own goals, and then strongly
commit to these very goals.
Losing weight
In order to lose weight, it’s necessary to burn fat. Our body starts burning the fat that it
has stored only when its very last sugar reserves have been used up. A long training is
intended to first burn all the sugar in your bloodstream before burning body fat. Pedaling
for 30 to 40 minutes (longer if the last meal before training was especially rich) while
setting the resistance adjustment knob ( 46 ) at a very low level (from 1 to 3 ) should be
enough to start this process.
Toning muscles
In order to tone muscles, you have to have them work hard. Set the resistance
adjustment knob ( 46 ) at a very high level and push hard on the pedals.
An interesting variation is training in intervals. This training method alternates between
brief efforts at high intensity and sustained efforts at very low intensity. This method
combines the benefits of the training goals “Toning muscles” and “Losing weight”.
