The warming up phase
This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the
muscles working properly. It will also reduce the risk of cramp and
muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown
below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do
not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch - if it hurts, STOP
The exercise phase
This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the
muscles in your legs will become more flexible. Work to your but it is
very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate of
work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat into the target zone
shown on the graph below.

TARGET ZONE
This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most
people start at about 15-20 minutes
The cool down phase
This stage is to let your Cardiovascular 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 fitness trainer 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.
Heart rate
Pulse rate measurement (hand pulse sensors)
The pulse rate is measured by sensors in the handlebars when the
user is touching both sensors at the same time. Accurate pulse
measurement requires that the skin is slightly moist and constantly
touching the hand pulse sensors. If the skin is too dry or too moist,
the pulse rate measurement will become less accurate.
‼ NOTE
• Do not use the hand pulse sensors in combination with a heart
rate chest belt.
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound
when it is exceeded.
Heart rate measurement (heart rate chest belt)
‼ NOTE
• A chest strap does not come standard with this trainer. When you
like to use a wireless chest strap you need to purchase this as an
accessory.
The most accurate heart rate measurement is achieved with a heart
rate chest belt. The heart rate is measured by a heart rate receiver
in combination with a heart rate transmitter belt. Accurate heart
measurement requires that the electrodes on the transmitter belt are
slight moist and constantly touching the skin. If the electrodes are
too dry or too moist, the heart rate measurement will become less
accurate.
⚠ WARNING
• If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician before using a
heartrate chest belt.
⚠ CAUTION
• If there are several heart rate measurement devices next to each
other, make sure that the distance between them is at least 1.5
metres.
• If there is only one heart rate receiver and several heart rate
transmitters, make sure that only one person with a transmitter is
within transmission range.
‼ NOTE
• Do not use a heart rate chest belt in combination with the
handpulse sensors.
• Always wear the heart rate chest belt under your clothes directly
in contact with your skin. Do not wear the heart rate chest belt
above your clothes. If you wear the heart rate chest belt above
your clothes, there will be no signal.
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound
when it is exceeded.
• The transmitter transmits the heart rate to the console up to a
distance of 1 metre. If the electrodes are not moist, the heart
rate will not appear on the display.
• Some fibers in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static
electricity which can prevent accurate heart rate measurement.
• Mobile phones, televisions and other electrical appliances create
an electromagnetic field which can prevent accurate heart rate
measurement.
Maximum heart rate (during training)
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate a person can safely
achieve through exercise stress. The following formula is used to
calculate the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The maximum
heart rate varies from person to person.
⚠ WARNING
• Make sure that you do not exceed your maximum heart rate
during your workout. If you belong to a risk group, consult a
physician.
