Muscle Toning; Weight Loss - Master X-24 User Manual

This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes for most people
This stage is to let your Cardio-vascular System and muscles wind down. This is a
repeat of the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5
minutes. The stretching exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not
to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at
least three times a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the
week.

MUSCLE TONING

To tone muscle while on your SPINNING BIKE you will need to have the
resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean
you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your
fitness you need to alter your training program. You should train as normal during the
warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you
should increase resistance, making your legs work harden than normal. You may
have to reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.

WEIGHT LOSS

The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and
longer you work the more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you
were training to improve your fitness, the difference is the goal.
USE
The tension control knob allows you to alter the resistance of the pedals. A high
resistance makes it more difficult to pedal, a low resistance makes it easier. For the
best results set the tension while the bike is in use.
