HANDLEBARS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your
heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When
gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure.
Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse
handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

ALWAYS
CONSULT
YOURPHYSICIAN
BEFORE
BEGINNING
ANEXERCISE
PROGRAM.

HOWOFTEN?
(Frequency
of Workouts)
The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 flays per week to maintain
cardiovascular fitness. If you ha ve other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with
more frequent exercise. Whether it's 3 flays or 6 flays, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make
exercise a fifetime habit. Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if they set aside a specific
time of day to exercise. It doesn't matter whether it's in the morning before breakfast, during lunch hour or while
watching the evening news. What's more important is that it's a time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a
time whenyou won't be interrupted. Tobe successful with your fitness program, you have to make it a priority in
your life. So decide on a time, puff out your day planner and pencil in your exercise times for the next month!

HOWLONG?
(Durationof Workouts)
For aerobic exercise benefits, it's recommended that you exercise from between 24 and 60 minutes per session.
But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise times. If you've been sedentary during the past year, it may
iiI

be a good idea to keep your exercise times to as tittle as five minutes initially. Yourbody will need time to adjust
to the new activity. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has been found to
be most effective. A workout time of 48 minutes or more is recommended for best weight loss results.

HOWHARD?
(Intensityof Workouts)
How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your machine to prepare for a 5/( workout,
you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long
term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise floes not have to be painful to
be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate
(using the grip pulse handlebars or a wireless chest transmitter - may be sold separately), and the second is by
evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!).

PERCEIVED
EXERTION
LEVEL
A simple way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived exertion level. While exercising, ifyou
are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb
is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it's time to slow down.
Always be aware of these warning signs of overexertion.

Whatis TargetHeartRateZone?
Target Heart Rate Zone tells you
the number of times per minute
your heart needs to beat to
achieve a desired workout effect.
It is represented as a percentage
of the maximum number of times
your heart can beat per minute.
Target Zone will vary for each
individual, depending on age,
current level of conditioning,
and personal fitness goals. The
American Heart Association
recommends working-out at a
Target Heart Rate Zone of between
60% and 75% of your maximum
heart rate. A beginner will want to

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii_

workout in the 60% range while
a more experienced exerciser wifl

ii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
ii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii_
_i......

ii ......

i iiiiiiiiLiiiiiiii i!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiWiii
......
ii

want to workout in the 70-75%
range. See chaff for reference.

EXAMPLE:
For a 42-year-old user: Find age along the bottom of the chart (round to 40), follow age column up to
the target zone bar. Results: 60% of maximum Hear Rate = 108 Beats Per Minute, 75% of maximum
Heart Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.

ALWAYS
CONSULT
YOURPHYSICIAN
BEFORE
BEGINNING
ANEXERCISE
PROGRAM.

STRETCHFIRST
Before using your product, it is best to take a few minutes to do a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching
prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these
stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce while doing
these stretches.

I. STANDING
CALFMUSCLE
STRETCH
Stand near a wall with the toes of your left foot about 18" from the wall, and
the right foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against
the waft with your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a
count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching.
Repeat on the other side.
; iiI

2. STANDINGQUADRICEPS
STRETCH

Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your right ankle
with your right hand and hold your foot against the back
of your thigh for 15 seconds. Repeat with your left ankle
and hand.

3. SITTINGHAMSTRING& LOWERBACKMUSCLESTRETCH
Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do
not lock your knees. Extend your fingers towards your toes and hold for a
count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Sit
upright again. Repeat one time.

WARMLIP
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm-up will limber your
muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Make sure that you warm-up on your product at a
slow pace. The warm up should gradually bring your heart rate into your Target Heart Rate Zone.

COOLDOWN
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-flown period of 3-5 minutes allows your heart to readjust to the
decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down period consists of a very slow pace to allow your heart
rate to lower. After the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises listed above to loosen and relax your
muscles.

ACHIEVINGYOURFITNESSGOALS

An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary
goal for exercising to lose weight? Improve muscle? Reduce stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule?
Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program. Below are some
common exercise goals:
• Weight Loss - lower intensity, longer duration workouts
• Improve Body Shape and Tone- interval workouts, alternate between hi and low intensities
• Increased Energy Level - more frequent daily workouts
• Improved Sports Performance - high intensity workouts
• Improved Cardiovascular Endurance - moderate intensity, longer duration workouts
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in writing.
The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long term, divide
them up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation
benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your console provides you with several readouts that can
be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time.

KEEPING
ANEXERCISE
DIARY
Tomake your personal exercise log book, photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets, which are located
on the following page and you can print them off of your computer by going to:

PROBLEM: Thereis noheart rate reading.
SOLUTION,:Removethe consoleand verify that the heart rate cables are attached properly,making
sure that the cables are securelyinserted into the console.

YOUMAYEXPERIENCE
AN ERRATIC
READOUT
UNDERTHEFOLLOWING
CONDITIONS:
• Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Tryto maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the
heart rate handlebars.
• Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate grips while exercising.
• Whenyou are breathing heavily during a workout.
• Whenyour hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
• Whenyour hands are dry or cold. Tryrnoisteningyour palms or rubbing them together to warm.
• Anyone with heavy arrhythrnia.
• Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
• Anyone whose skin on the measuring palms is especially thick.

NOTE: Outside interference sources such as computers, motors and fluorescent lights may cause the heart
rate reading to be erratic. Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as high power lines,
large motors, etc.

If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use and turn the power off.

The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:
• Model Name
• Serial Number
• Date of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement)
In order for Customer Tech Support to service your bike they may need to ask detailed questions about the
symptoms that are occurring. Some troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:
• How long has this problem been occurring?
• Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?
• If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front, back or inside? What kind of noise is it (thumping,
grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?
• If you are having a resistance problem what is occurring? Is the resistance always too hard or too easy?
Does the resistance respond when pushing the buttons on the console? Does the resistance constantly cycle
through the levels during the workout?
• Has the machine been maintained per the maintenance schedule?
• Does the problem occur when using the handlebars? Without using the handlebars?

Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and
the service necessary to get you and your AFG bike running again!

ARETHESOUNDS
MYBIKEMAKES
NORMAL?
Our bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic
resistance. Weuse the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance
system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder
technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our bikes. These
mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of
significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel Aft bearings, belts and other rotating parts will
generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds
to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHYIS THEBIKEI HADDELIVERED
LOUDER
THANTHEONEATTHESTORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background
noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood
overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat wifl help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness
product is placed close to a wall, there wifl be more reflected noise.
iiI

HOWLONGWILLTHEDRIVEBELTLAST?
The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. Belts are
now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.
i

CANI MOVETHEBIKEEASILYONCEIT IS ASSEMBLED?
Your bike has a pair of transport wheels built into the front. It is easy to move your bike by rolling it on the
front transport wheels. It is important that you place your bike in a comfortable and inviting room. Your
bike is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their bikes facing the TV or a picture
window. If at aft possible, avoid putting your bike in a unfinished basement. Tomake exercise a desirable
daily activity for you, the bike should be in a comfortable setting.
