    RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT The ergonomic resistance control knob located just below the handlebars on the bike frame easily controls pedaling resistance. Turning the knob in a clockwise direction increases pedal resistance. Turning the knob in a counter clockwise direction decreases pedal resistance.
  • Page 15: Handlebar Adjustment

    HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT The handlebar position is based on comfort and may be adjusted to more accurately simulate the upper body position on a road bike. Typically the handlebar position is positioned slightly higher then the seat position for beginning cyclists. More advanced cyclists may prefer a lower handlebar position.

    PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT Place the ball of each foot in the toe clip so the shoe fits snugly into the clip of the cage. Rotate one of the pedals to within arms reach. Pull on the strap of the clip to tighten the clip snugly around your shoe and tuck in excess strap.

  • Page 24: Target Heart Rate

    TARGET HEART RATE Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Heart Rate will vary for each individual depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. Exercise heart rate should range from 55% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. As a point of reference, we use the predicted maximum heart rate formula of (220 minus age) to determine your heart rate training zone.
  • Page 25: Rate Of Perceived Exertion

    RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is one of the easiest ways to monitor exercise intensity. By becoming familiar with the RPE scale, you can continually assess your level of intensity and insure a level of exertion that is comfortable.
  • Page 26: Balanced Fitness

    BALANCED FITNESS While cardiovascular exercise has been the primary method of fitness for many programs over the years, it should not be the only method. Strength Training and Flexibility Training have become more popular as exercise has developed. Incorporating Strength and Flexibility Training into your current exercise program will give you the balance you need to improve your athletic performance, reduce susceptibility to injury, increase metabolic rate, increase bone density, and reach your goals faster.
  • Page 27: Stretching

    STRETCHING Flexibility Training is not associated with fitness as often as cardiovascular exercise or Strength Training, even though it is just as important. A good stretching program will help to maintain flexibility of the hips and lower back. A flexible person will be less likely to injure themselves in common activities, such as reaching, twisting and turning, or in uncommon activities such as the annual softball tournament.
  • Page 28 STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your left ankle with your left hand and hold to stretch. Your knee should be pointing toward the floor. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat with your right leg, and continue to alternate as necessary.
