Resistance Adjustment; Lower Body Workout - Schwinn SR23 Owner's Manual

Console Adjustment
n
The upright and recumbent bikes both feature a tilt-adjustable console that enables
you to customize your own viewing angle. To adjust the console tilt position,
loosen the knob, move the console to one of the three available tilt positions
and re-tighten.

Resistance adjustment

n
Using the console, you have control over the levels of resistance integrat-
ed into your workout. Typically, lower resistance levels enable you to move at
a faster pace, placing increased demand on your cardiovascular system. Higher
resistance levels will typically deliver more of a muscle / endurance workout at
lower RPMs. But everyone is different! So experiment and find the beginning
of resistance that is comfortable for you.

Lower body workout

n
Once you are in position and sitting comfortably, slowly begin pedaling, with
your arms relaxed and with your hands resting on the hand grips. Pedal at an
easy pace, at a low resistance level until you feel comfortable and secure. As
you feel more comfortable, experiment with the range of resistance levels
available via the console.
