Workouts
The workout must be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on
improving the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance
and fitness. You should perspire, but you should not get out of breath during the
workout.
To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise at least three times a week, 30
minutes at a time. Increase the number of exercise sessions to improve your fitness
level. It is worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A person
committed to dieting should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time,
gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. Start your workout at low
speed and low resistance to prevent the cardiovascular system from being subjected
to excessive strain. As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance can be
increased gradually. The efficiency of your exercise can be measured by monitoring
your heart rate and your pulse rate.
Gradually increase speed and resistance according to your own condition. Keep your
head up and neck long in order to avoid stress on your neck, shoulders and back.
Keep your back straight. Make sure that your feet are centered on the foot pedals
and that your hips, knees, ankles and toes are facing forward. Keep your body weight
centered over your lower body regardless of whether you lean forward or stand
upright. Stop your workout by gradually decreasing speed and resistance.
Remember to stretch at the end of the workout.
Pulse rate measurement (hand pulse sensors)
The pulse rate is measured by sensors in the handlebars when the user is touching
both sensors at the same time. Accurate pulse measurement requires that the skin is
slightly moist and constantly touching the hand pulse sensors. If the skin is too dry or
too moist, the pulse rate measurement will become less accurate.
NOTE
– Do not use the hand pulse sensors in combination with a heart rate
– If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound
