  • Page 24: Common Questions

    COMMON BIKE QUESTIONS Q: Are the sounds my Bike makes normal? A: Our Bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade European bearings and top quality belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear some slight mechanical noises from the drive train.
  • Page 25 Q: What kind of routine maintenance is required? A: We use sealed bearings throughout our Bikes, so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the Bike after each use. Q: Will the magnets wear out over time? A: No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their braking force indefinitely in this application.

  • Page 30: Developing Fitness Program

    DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM WARM UP When you exercise, you need more oxygen to fuel your muscles. This oxygen is carried to the muscles through blood. The increasing demands of exercise will cause increased breathing rate, heart rate, blood flow and blood temperature.

  • Page 31: Flexibility

    FLEXIBILITY Before stretching, take a few minutes to warm-up, as stretching a cold muscle can cause injury. When stretching, you should start slowly, exhaling as you gently stretch the muscle. Try to hold each stretch for at least 15 to 30 seconds. Don’t bounce when you stretch. Holding a stretch is more effective and less of a risk for injury.
  • Page 32 STANDING CALF STRETCH Standing about 3 feet from a wall, take one step forward with your left foot. Place your hands on the wall in front of you. Slightly bend your elbows and point your shoul- ders, hips, and feet directly toward the wall.

  • Page 33: Exercise Guidelines

    EXERCISE GUIDELINES The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends the following exercise guidelines for healthy aerobic activity: Frequency: Exercise three to five days each week. Warm-up: Warm-up five to 10 minutes before aerobic activity. Duration: Maintain your exercise intensity for 20 to 60 minutes. Cool Down: Gradually decrease the intensity of your workout, then stretch to cool down during the last five to 10 minutes.

  • Page 34: Target Heart Rate

    EXERCISE INTENSITY To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary to exercise within a recommended intensity. The three ways to monitor exercise intensity are Target Heart Rate, Perceived Exertion, and the Talk Test. TARGET HEART RATE Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate.

  • Page 35: 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.
