SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE HOIST® LeMond® Series RC Location It is to your benefit to choose a suitable location in your facility for your new recumbent bike.

A smaller profile and much quieter drive mechanism than other recumbent bikes, allows the bike to be situated and used in almost any location with minimum disruption.

SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE HOIST® LeMond® Series RC FOOT POSITIONING For greatest pedaling efficiency, the ball of the foot should be placed over the center of the pedal. This may feel awkward or unnatural at first, but it is to your benefit to maintain a foot position that maximizes your exercising efficiency.
GUIDELINES FOR AN EFFECTIVE EXERCISE PROGRAM GUIDELINES FOR EFFECTIVE EXERCISE Often, the toughest, but most important step, of any exercise program is simply getting started. By purchasing the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC, you have already achieved what many people are still struggling with: making the commitment to leading a more fulfilling life by including a program of physical activity.

GUIDELINES FOR AN EFFECTIVE EXERCISE PROGRAM HOIST® LeMond® Series RC GUIDELINES FOR EXERCISING ON THE WARMING UP A good warm-up is one of the most important and most frequently overlooked parts of an exercise regimen. Without a proper warm-up, the muscles of the body are far more prone to injury. A good warm-up prepares the body for the stress you will place your muscles under during your workout and will decrease your chances of becoming injured.
Page 14
GUIDELINES FOR AN EFFECTIVE EXERCISE PROGRAM COOL-DOWN Just as the warm-up is essential for preparing your muscles for vigorous exercise, the cool-down is equally important. It is tempting to simply stop pedaling as soon as you have finished your pro- grammed workout.
