NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is
properly fastened before starting to exercise!
HANDLEBAR SETUP
Loosen the locking knob on the front of the
handlebar support and find the right angle at
which to position the handlebar. Tighten the
locking knob. The design of the handlebar
allows you to exercise either in an upright
position or with the upper body leaning
forward. Remember, however, always to keep
your back straight.
NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is
properly fastened before starting to exercise!
CONSOLE INCLINATION ADJUSTMENT
Set the inclination of the meter so that it
corresponds to your height and exercise
position.
ADJUSTMENT OF SUPPORT FEET
If the equipment is not stable, adjust the
adjustment screws below the support feet as
necessary.
EXERCISING
If the product is not stable, adjust the stabilizing
screws under the rear support appropriately.
EXERCISE LEVEL
Working out with this device is excellent
aerobic exercise, the principle being that
the exercise should be suitably light, but
of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based
on improving the body’s maximum oxygen
uptake, which in turn improves endurance and
fitness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a
fuel is directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake
capacity. Aerobic exercise should be above all
pleasant. You should work up a light sweat but
you should not get out of breath during the
workout.
You should exercise at least three times a
week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic
fitness level. Maintaining this level requires
a few exercise sessions each week. Once the
basic condition has been reached, it is easily
improved, simply by increasing the number
of exercise sessions. You should start slowly
at a low pedaling speed and low resistance,
because for an overweight person strenuous
exercise may subject the heart and circulatory
system to excessive strain. As fitness improves,
resistance and pedaling speed can be increased
gradually.
HEART RATE
No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best
results by training at the right level of effort,
and the best measure is your own heart rate.
HEART RATE MEASUREMENT WITH HANDGRIP
SENSORS
Heart rate is measured from the hands using
the sensors located on the handlebars. The
sensors measure electric impulses, which
are formed when a person’s heart beats.
Measurement is started by touching both
handlebar sensors simultaneously. To ensure
reliable heart rate measurement, skin must be
slightly moist and skin contact with sensors
must be continuous. If skin is too dry or too
wet, the heart rate measurement operation
from the hands is less reliable. Try to keep your
upper body and palms relaxed and still.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
The most reliable heart rate measurement is
achieved with a telemetric device, in which the
electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the
chest transmit the pulses from the heart to the
console by means of an electromagnetic field.
NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please
consult a physician before using a wireless
heart rate monitor.
If you want to measure your heart rate this way
during your workout, moisten the grooved
electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva
or water. Fasten the transmitter just below
the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough
so that the electrodes remain in contact with
the skin while exercising, but not so tight that
normal breathing is prevented. If you wear
the transmitter and belt over a light shirt,
moisten the shirt slightly at the points where
the electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter
automatically transmits the heart rate reading
to the console up to a distance of about 1 m.
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the
heart-rate reading will not appear on the
display. If the electrodes are dry, they must be
moistened again. Allow the electrodes warm
up properly to ensure accurate heart rate
measurement. If there are several telemetric
heart rate measurement devices next to each
other, the distance between them should be
at least 1.5 m. Similarly, if there is only one
receiver and several transmitters in use, only
