cardiovascular

system, the key

to achieving the

best results is

to maintain the

proper heart

rate during your

workouts. The optional chest heart rate monitor will

enable you to continuously monitor your heart rate

while you exercise, helping you to reach your personal

fitness goals. To purchase a chest heart rate moni-

tor, please see the front cover of this manual.

HOW TO MAINTAIN THE EXERCISE BIKE

Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise bike regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the exercise bike, use a damp cloth and a

small amount of mild detergent. IMPORTANT: To

avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away

remove, the two #8 x 19mm Tek Screws (97).

Next, rotate the Crank Pulley (53) until a Magnet (55)

is aligned with the Reed Switch (35). Slide the Reed

Switch slightly toward or away from the Magnet. Then,

retighten the #8 x 19mm Tek Screws (97).

Plug in the power cord and press the power switch to

the reset position. Rotate the Crank Pulley (53) for a

moment. Repeat these actions until the console dis-

plays correct feedback.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, the drive belt

may need to be adjusted.

See the EXPLODED DRAWING on page 31 to iden-

tify the parts mentioned below.

To adjust the Drive Belt (66), first press the power

switch to the off position and unplug the power

cord.

Locate the access hole in the underside of the

Right Shield (12). Using a hex key, tighten the Idler

Adjustment Screw (39) until the Drive Belt (66) is tight.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise

program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a

reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,

proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for

successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-

sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your

heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.

The chart below shows recommended heart rates for

fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the

bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-

est ten years). The three numbers listed above your

age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is

the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the

heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest

number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-

cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of

time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your

body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after

the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin

to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to

burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your

heart rate is near the lowest number in your training

zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your

heart rate near the middle number in your training

zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic

exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts

of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic

exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your

heart rate is near the highest number in your training

zone.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE

To measure your heart

rate, exercise for at least

four minutes. Then, stop

exercising and place

two fingers on your

wrist as shown. Take a

six-second heartbeat

count, and multiply the

result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your

six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140

beats per minute.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation

for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-

utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During

the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not

keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer

than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you

exercise —never hold your breath.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles

and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three

workouts each week, with at least one day of rest

between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-

cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week,

if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make

exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday

life.

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physi-

cian. This is especially important for persons

over age 35 or persons with pre-existing

health problems.
