m Seat Adjustment
Proper seat height ensures maximum exercise
efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of
injury.
1. Place one pedal in the down position, and
center the ball of your foot over the center of the
pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee.
(Fig. 1)
If you leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch
the pedal, you will need to lower the seat. If your
leg is too bent, you wil! need to raise the seat.
2. Dismount the bike. unscrew the adjustment knob
on the seat tube and pul! out the locking pin. (Fig. 2)
Lower or raise the seat to the desired height. Allow
the locking pin to engage and fully tighten in place.

Lower Body Workout

Fig. 2

Once you are in position and sitting comfortably,
slowly begin pedaling with your arms relaxed at
your sides or with your hands resting on the hand
grips as the arm levers move. Pedal at an easy
pace until you feel secure and comfortable. To
increase the air resistance and workload, increase
your pedaling speed.

m Lower and Upper Body Workout
For a complete body workout, grasp the hand grips
with palms down. Push and pull the arm levers as
you pedal, keeping elbows low and next to your
body. To exercise alt the muscle groups in your
arms, vary your hand position on the grips. (Fig. 3)

m Upper Body Only Workout
Fig. 3

Fig. 4

Once you have gained momentum with pedaling,
you can experiment with an upper body only
workkout technique. Grasp the hand grips firmly
with palms down and place your feet on the foot
pegs near the fanwheel axle. Lean forward at the
hips, keeping your back straight and shoulders
down, while continuing to push and pull the arm
levers. (Fig. 4)

m Computer Operation
The Airdyne /Airdyne EVO Comp computer is easy to operate and provides
you with important feedback during your exercise. Starting the computer is
as easy as pressing the Start Button. While "exercising" the computer will
display information relating to your exercise time, power output, approximate
energy expended, and even your Heart Rate. At the end of your workout, the
display will present you with a summary of your workout, called the Results
Mode.
By taking a few moments to fully understand the computer operation and
functions, you will get more pleasure, motivation and value from your Airdyne/
Evolution Comp Bike workouts. It's really very easy.

m initial Computer Set Up
Begin by installing the batteries into the back of the console. The display will
show "AD4" (or "ADEV" for the EVO Comp model) and "SET MILES .... KM"
This console can read either English units (Pounds Miles, and Miles per Hour)
or Metric (Kilograms ,Kilometers, and Kilometers per Hour.) Use the "+" and "-"
buttons to select either (MILES) (for English units) or "KM" (for Metric units.)
Press the ENTER button to confirm your choice.
Note:You can return to this screen by pressing and holding down the RESET
and ENTER buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Next, the display will ask you
to select "Horn" (for Home use) or "CLUb" (for Club
or Studio use.)

Home and Club Settings in the (nitia( Computer Set Up
The intent for Home use is that the default values for User Weight andTime for
each exercise are based on the values entered during the last exercise.
Using the Home setting, means that the user will avoid having to set his or her
Weight, and Exercise time each time they exercise.
The Club setting sets the default values for User Weight andTime to 150 pounds
and 20:00 minutes. This means that each time you start an exercise, you will be
asked to adjust theTime up or down from 20:00, and to adjust your Weight up or
down from 150 pounds (or 70 kg in Metric Mode.)
The following steps complete the Initial Computer Set Up, for Home mode. For
Club mode, see heading below- Initial Computer Set Up for Club Mode.
Once you have selected "HOM mode", the display will ask you to set the
ELEVATION (your elevation above sea tevel.)This "calibrates" the console so
that it will read more accurately the information regarding WATTS, METS, and
CALORIES per HOUR. Again, use the "+ .... -" and "ENTER" buttons to select and
confirm.
The display wilt ask you to "ENTER WEIGHT" Enter your current weight using
the "+ .... -" and ENTER buttons.This weight is used to calculate Calories per
hour and Mets more accurately if you choose the Quick Start Mode for exercising.
See more on Quick Start below. This completes the Initial Computer Set Up.

m Starting an Exercise
There are two modes to exercise in. The first is "TIME SET" Mode.The other is
Quick Start Mode.

m TIME SET Mode
(allows you to pre-set a the amount of time you wish to exercise for)

To activate the computer (turn on the display) you can either press any key, or
you can begin pedaling.The display will show "ENTER TIME." You can use the
"+ .... -" buttons to set the time you wish to exercise for. Press the "ENTER" key
to confirm. The display will now show "ENTER WEIGHT" Use the "+ .... -" and
ENTER buttons to set and confirm your current weight. By entering your weight,
the CALORIE, CALORIE per HOUR, and METS calculations will be more accurate.
When you press the ENTER button, the exercise program will begin. The display
is divided into three Display Lines; top, middle and bottom.

m Computer Display Feedback {biometric fields)
TopDisplayLine.
- Time: ExerciseTime
- Miles: Approximate

Middle DisplayLine.
- LEVEL: This is a measure of your power output. LEVEL is defined as
WATTS / 49
- WATTS: This is a measure of your instantaneous power output.
WATTS is dependant on how fast you are pedaling.
AVG WATTS: This measures your average power output to this point in
the exercise.
METS: This stands for Metabolic Rate. A MET rate of 1 is defined as
your resting rate. As your power output (and therefore your exercise
intensity) increases, your MET rate will increase and be displayed as
multiples of your resting rate. tf you are exercising at 10 METS, you are
expending Calories at a rate 10 times faster than at your resting rate
- AVG IVlETS: This measures your average METS to this point in the
exercise.
- SPEED: This is an estimate of your speed if you were on an outdoor bicycle
based on your power output.

BottomDisplayLine.
- CALORIES:The approximate amount of (Kilo) Calories you have expended
during exercise.
- CALORIES per HOUR: Based on your exercise intensity, this is the rate you are

ill Display SCAN Function
The SCAN buttons wilt allow you to choose which information on each display
line you wish to view, OR, you can select the SCAN mode (when the SCAN icon
is displayed) and the display line information will automatically change (every
five seconds.)
For example, theTop Display Line showsTIME and distance (MILES or KM.) By
pressing the SCAN 1 button, the "scanning loop" on theTop Display Line looks
as follows...

Again, when the SCAN 1 Icon is shown (step 3), the information will
automatically change between TIM E and MILES every five seconds.
When the computer is in the "home" mode, the Scan status of each Display Line
will carry over from one exercise to the next.
This allows you to set which specific bio feedback information is most important
to you, and that will become the default setting for your next workout.

12

m Other Features
m Default Settings
In Home mode, the Default setting forTIME and WEIGHT wilt be the "last entered
value." For example, if for your last workout, you entered aTIME of 21:00 and a
WEIGHT of 150 pounds, the default settings forTIME and WEIGHT for your next
workout wil! be 21:00 and I50 pounds.
Rese£ting the Computer
If you wish to return to the Initial Computer Set Up Mode to change from English
to Metric, or to reset the Elevation, you can get there two different ways. One
way is, with the display on, remove and reinstall the batteries. The second way
is to press and hold the RESET and ENTER buttons (again, the display must first
be on.)

m Getting the Most Out of Your Home Fitness Program
Thethree main reasonsfor the increasedpopularity of home fitness gyms and exercise
are convenience,convenienceand convenience.Forany fitnessprogramto be successful,
it must be done on a regular, sustainedbasis. With equipment in your home,you can
roll out of bed, put on a pair of sweats, and start working out while the coffee is brewing.
For many,home workouts are easier to fit into their hectic schedules.Nogetting in the
car and having to go to the health club. No standing in line to use the stair climber.Then
there is the comfort and safety factor. Who wants to run outdoors during a raging blizzard.
Or,who wants to ride a bike on busy city streets during rush hour in the heat of summer.
It's muchmore comfortable to hop on your Schwinn home fitness equipmentand exercise
in the comfort and security of your air-conditionedroom.
Privacyand cleanlinessare also important. Many feel intimidated in a gym, especially if
they are carrying arounda few extra pounds.At homeyou can exercise without feeling as
if you are being rushed or that anyoneis lookingat you. No morelying down on a sweaty
bench or wondering if you'll catch athlete's foot in the shower.
Flexibility of time may be the biggest advantage.Work schedulesvary for manypeople
who work flex shifts or havea family that has different schedules.Parentswith children
soondiscover that exercising at home turns out to be the only viable alternative if they
want to stay fit. But parentsand busy workers may not be the only ones who benefit from
exercising at home.

m The Stanford Home Exercise Study
Recently,researchersat Stanford University Schoolof Medicine, conducted a year long
study of over350 individuals to examinethe effectiveness and complianceof a groupof
supervisedhome exercisersversusa group of individuals who reported for a group session
at the university. The subject population included middle aged menand women and
included fit individuals as welt as individuals who were overweight and smoked.
individuals in both the high intensity (three 40-minute sessionsper week on the treadmill
at a 73 to 88 percent of max heart rate) and low intensity group(five 30-minute sessions
at 60-71 percent of max heart rate) reported significantly greater adherencethan those in
the university group based program.
Many at the beginning of the study thought that the university based groupwould have
a greater compliancerate than the home basedgroup, becauseof the camaraderieof
the group andthe instruction given by the instructors. But the study found the opposite
to be true. The group programwas just too inconvenient overthe 12 month periodfor the
subjectsto justify the benefits.
But the good news was that a!l three groupsshowed fitness improvements.With the
individuals in the low intensity group achievingsimilar results as the high intensity group.
Goodnews for those of you just starting out in a moderate exerciseprogram.
Perhapsmost importantly,research has also shown that it's never too late to start exercising.., and experiencingthe benefits. Studies conductedat Tufts University,for instance,
show that even people in their 90's can significantly increasetheir strength as a result of
following a moderate, strength training program.

Exercise is one of life's joys. It energizes-it gives you a sense of well-being and
accomplishment and it keeps you healthy and fit. There is great pleasure in being
able to set goals, accept your own challenges and push yourself to a better life
of health and fitness.
Once you have made the commitment to get started in a home fitness program,
here are some suggestions that you may want consider to help you get off on the
right foot and stay motivated. Realize that any new habit is difficult to establish at
first, but it can be done. Follow these steps and you'll be on your way to establishing and using your home fitness center for improved health and fitness. Enjoy
the journey!

•/ Get a physical exam. If you have been inactive for several years or new to an
exercise program, be sure to consult with your family physician. Especially if
you're over 35, have health problems or have a history of heart disease in your
family.

•/ Begin planning for your home fitness center. Set aside a portion or a room in
your house or apartment that is exclusively for fitness, and make sure that it is
as comfortable as possible so you'll enjoy using it. If you like music or like to look
outside while exercising, make sure these things are accessible. Do not force
yourself to exercise in a part of the house that isn't comfortable, you wilt not feel
motivated to exercise.

,/Do you need a companion? If you prefer to exercise with someone, find a
friend to train with who lives nearby. Encouraging your spouse or children to
exercise with you is an excellent way to stay motivated and promote family unity.

,/Make fitness a part of your daily lifestyle. Include it in your daily planner just as
you would any other appointment. Keep the appointment; you'll be glad you did.

,/Use affirmations. Affirmations will help you program your subconscious to
accept new beliefs. They should be positive statements. "1am living a healthier
lifestyle by exercising several times per week at home:' Repeat your affirmations
several times per week.

Overthe last 25 years, ever since the introduction of Dr.Kenneth Cooper'sbook,Aerobics,
many individuals havefocused on walking, running, cycling, swiming, and other
types of aerobic activity as their only means of exercise.
Unfortunately,this has led to many of these same people neglecting other keycomponents
of fitness; such as strength training, flexibility and bodycomposition. Many of us
lackthe strength to carry a full back of groceries, or the flexibility to pick up our shoes
without bendingat the knees. In addition, as we haveaged, we have replacedmuscle
tissue with fat tissue.
Continuedwork by Dr.Cooperat the Institute of Aerobics Research,is showing that in
addition to the need to stress our cardiovascularsystem,that moreattention needsto be
placed on building stronger musclesand increasingjoint flexibility. Theyare talking about
the benefits of balancedfitness: regular physical activity that includesstrength training
andflexibility (stretching)in addition to aerobicconditioning.
For manyyears, "fitness" has been solely a measureof cardiovascular(aerobic)endurance.
And, while aerobicfitness is the cornerstonefor health and quality of life, there are
two other componentsthat are nearly as important. When developing your home fitness
program it is only appropriate that you develop all three componentsin order to achieve
balancedfitness, and thus optimal health and quality of life. The three componentsare:
-- Muscle strength
-- Cardiovascular fitness
-- Flexibility
m IBalance

Fitness

Many people considering beginninga balancedhome fitness programstill think "no
pain, no gain." They usually think they haveto cycle or lift weights until they are over-tired
andtheir bodyaches.This idea of fitness is outdated. What they don't realize is that, in
a short time using proper guidelines,the initial tiredness or sorenesswilt be replaced by
increasedenergyfor work and recreation andan increased senseof well-being.
Since 1978, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)has had an influence on
the medical and scientific communitieswith its position statement on "The Recommended
Quantity and Quality of Exercisefor Developingand Maintaining Fitnessin Healthy
Adults." Forthe first time since 1978the ACSM has revisedits recommendationson
exercisefor healthy adults. The new paperpublished in 1991 expandsand revisesadvice
on cardiovascularfitness and bodycomposition, and now recommendsthat you add
resistancetraining. This is new information to those of us who haveonly cycled,
ran, swam, watched our bodyweight and controlled our diet to attempt to maintain fitness.
Balancedfitness can do moreto ensurea long, healthy life than just about anythingelse
known to the medical communitytoday. It's never too late to start a fitness programbut
ideally, you should build strong muscles,flexibility anda strongcardiovascularsystem
early in life andenter the later years with your physical potential at its maximum.

available,addcalisthenicsto yourprogram.
m Cardiovascular Fitness
The new statement, published in 1991, repeats the four recommendations on duration, intensity,
frequency and various modes of aerobic activity, with slight changes. The duration is now
20 to 60 minutes, versus a minimum of 15 minutes in the past.
Intensity of exercise can be determined by two methods. The first is the familiar use of target
heart rate. The guidelines state that you should aim to work at 60 to 85 percent of your maximum
heart rate (max HR = 220 - your age) or 50 to 85 percent of your maximal oxygen capacity
(determined by doing a stress test on a bicycle ergometer or treadmill at a medical facility).
Duration is dependent upon the intensity of the activity; for those who like to work at a lower
intensity they should work out longer. Low to moderate intensity cycling, stepping, walking, or
cross-country skiing is best for most adults, because higher intensity workouts can lead to increased
risk of injury and it is easier to adhere to the exercise routine. Beginners can achieve a
significant training effect from low intensity workouts. If you're already fit and want to improve,
gradually increase your intensity.
The type of activity, once again, should include anything that uses large muscle groups, and is
rhythmical and aerobic in nature, such as cycling or running. Other activities could include stair
climbing, cross-country skiing, walking, etc. These activities need to be carried out three to five
days per week.
Training Effect
Duration, intensity and frequency of training stimulate the aerobic training effect. Any training
done below the ACSM guidelines wit] not be sufficient enough to give you the aerobic training
effect. If you are exercising more than the recommendations, it witl not significantly increase
the aerobic training effect, though athletes training for competition need to exercise more to be
competitive. It is important to remember not to over do it; your body needs adequate recovery
from a hard workout.
tn general, endurance training for fewer than two days per week at less than 60 percent of
maximal heart rate, for fewer than 20 minutes per day, and without a well*rounded resistance
and flexibility program is inadequate for developing and maintaining fitness in healthy adults. ]t
is just that simple.

20

Keepin mindthat the ACSMrecommendations
are guidelinesfor the averageperson,not a

ACSMguidelines,flexibilityis importantforyou to performtasksthat requirereaching,twisting
andturningyourbody.Hip flexibility,for example,is importantto preventinglower backpain.
[] Exorciseand Body Composition
Bodycompositionis an importantcomponentof health-relatedfitness.Goodbodycomposition
resultsfrom aerobicactivity,strengthtrainingandproperdiet.
Oureverydaycaloricbalancewill determinewhetheryouwill gain or loseweight from daytoday.Caloricbalancerefersto the differencebetweenthe caloriesyoutake infrom food
eatenandcaloricexpenditureor the amountof energyyou put out in dailyactivities,work or
exercise.
Bodyweight is lostwhen caloricexpenditureexceedscaloricintakeor when caloricintakeis
lessthancaloric expenditure.It is a knownphysiologicalfact that onepoundof fat is equalto
3500caloriesof energy.Thoughit is predictable
that shiftsin caloricbalancewilt beaccompaniedbychangesin bodyweight,howyourbody

el How ToDetermine YourMaximum Heart Rate
Thebestwayto determineyourmaximalheartrate is to calculateyourtarget heartrate
zones.Simplyrecordyourheartrateseveraltimeswhen youare puttingout a maximaleffort,
suchaswhen you aregoingall out on a stationarybicycle,or duringa hardsessionof stair
climbing.
Theeasiestoptionis to estimateyourmaximumheartrate basedon a formulawhich has
beenwell-establishedfor reliability:take the number220,andsubtractyourage.Forexample,
a 45yearold would havean estimatedmaximumheartrate of 175(220- 454= 175).Thetarget
heartrate zonefor aerobictrainingwould be 105to 149beatsperminute(60to 80 percentof
the maximum).
el Target HeartRate Training Zones
Therearethreeprimaryheartrate trainingzones.Thefirst is often referredto asthe "fat
burningzone",becausethe intensityis moderateenoughto requireyourbodyto primarilyuse
fat asthe fuel sourcefor the exercise.Youshouldexerciseat 50to G5% ofyour maximalheart
rateto achievethis levelof intensity.While youworkoutin this andthe otherzones,yourheart
rate shouldfall somewherebetweenthesetwo figures.Peoplejust startingout on an exercise
programor who want to loseweight shouldconcentrateon maintainingtheir heartrate inthis
zonefor 20 to 30 minutesperday,3 to 5daysperweek.
Thesecondzonediscussedaboveis knownasthe "aerobicexercisezone"oris shown

After severat weeks of "aerobic conditioning," certain changes become apparent. What
was a barely attainable levet of exercise before, now becomes quite easy. Whereas cycling or
running at a certain pace or speed may have previously caused your heart rate to go up to 135
beats per minute, that pace can now be achieved at a lower heart rate. in short, your heart is
becoming stronger, larger and more efficient, and your body is able to do the same work
with less stain.
Regardless of your maximum average heart rate or your target heart rate, you should consult
with your physician or with a sports medical expert to establish, with precision, the rates that
are right for you, your age and your medical and physical condition. This is especially important
if you are over the age of 35, been sedentary for several years, overweight or have a history of
heart disease in your family.

Beating The Dropout Odds:Jump Start Year FitnessProgram
Youalreadyknowyouneedto exercise.Andyou'reprobablytrying- at leasta little. But let's
get serious:If you don'taddregularexerciseto yourlife, you'remissingout on a surebet.This
is oneareawheremedicalresearchall pointsinthe samedirection.
"Startingto exerciseis comparable,froma healthbenefitstandpoint,to quittingsmoking,"
saysthe recentlyreleasedSurgeon'sGeneralReporton PhysicalActivityandHealth.
m To sum up the recent report:
,, Regular physical activity offers substantial improvements in health and wellbeing for the majority
of Americans.
. tf you exercise regularly, the reports show, you'll reduce your risk of heart attack, cancer, diabetes,
high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and even the common cold.
. Regular exercise, regardless of the intensity, can help you control stress, sleep problems, and
depression.

But evenwith all this evidence,only 22 percentof Americansengagein exercisefor20
minutesa day.Andevenamongindividualswho beginexerciseprograms,the dropoutrate is
about50 percent.

m Make ExerciseA Habit
Thekeyto a successfulfitness programis getting yourbodyto dowhat yourmindknowsit
should.Herearesix mentalstrategiesto help keepyou focusedonyourfitnessgoals.
1. Clarify why you want to exercise. If you want to gain strength - is it to swim more laps, or to
tone-up your body. By understanding and detailing your goals, you will be better abte to stay
motivated.
2. Vary your workout. To make your routine more enjoyable, vary it once in a while. Supplement
your indoor cycling with outdoor cycling and strength training. These activities make exercise
more interesting and increase your fitness level by making you utilize different muscle groups.
3. Focus on the positive. Avoid looking at your exercise program as a way to fix something
that's wrong with your body. instead focus on your successes. Congratulate yourself after each
workout. Thrive on the energy that exercising gives you.

4. Developaconstructiveattitude.Donot focusonwhat you aregivingup to exerciseona
regularbasis,but onwhat new optionsyou'l!haveafter youbecomefit.
5. Engage your body and mind. Connect on a deeper level, you'tt be more likely to stay with
your routine. If your exercise time on a stationary bike is your 3g-minutes away from work or
a time for reflection, you're much more likely to stick with it. Individuals claim to experience
an increased sense of creativity and an enhanced thought process due to a regular exercise
program.

fer Fitness

Most of us have very busy schedules and to keep our fitness level intact we have to be
extremely efficient. These three words, efficiency of effort, form the core of creating your own
home fitness center. Efficiency of effort means producing maximum gains with minimal time
spent; this is the goal of most of us when designing our home fitness program.
The bottom line is you must be creative and innovative to get the best results. With this book
and your own creativity a great workout is only a few moments away; a different grip on the
multi*gym, a varied stepping rhythm on the stepper, a new intensity on the stationary windload
simulator or a more rapid stroke rate on the rower. By varying your workouts you'll create
maximum gains in the shortest time frames.
As you will see, your home fitness equipment will allow you to reach your fitness goals and
prepare properly for a healthier lifestyle. Anyone who is serious about fitness - or for that
matter just improving their overall fitness - should have a few basic pieces of home fitness
equipment. It makes no difference if you are a competitive cyclist or triathlete, an executive or
someone trying to tone their muscles, the home fitness center is the most efficient way to help
you reach your physical potential.
