    HOW TO LEVEL THE LIFECYCLE 9500HR AEROBIC TRAINER Depending on the surface you place your Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer on it may need to be leveled.

    A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity, and the Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer is no exception. If the seat is too low, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles; if the seat is too high, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.
