Resistance Adjustment; Lower Body Workout - Schwinn 130/230 Owner's Manual

Console Adjustment

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


Using the console, you have control over the levels of resistance integrated
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


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.
