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 21
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.

DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM STRETCH FIRST Before using your Vision Fitness Product, it is belt to spend a few minutes during a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion.
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm-up will limber your muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Warm-up on your Vision Fitness Product at a slow pace. COOL DOWN Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period allows your heart to readjust to the decreased demand.
HOW HARD? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Vision Fitness Product to prepare for racing, you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is developing your fitness pr ogram...
Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your Vision Fitness Product console provides you with several readouts that can be used to record your progress.
SAMPLE GOALS: Goal setting is a popular motivational technique. It’s important to set goals and reward yourself when initiating a new exercise program because you’re attempting to break current patterns and form a new habit. Whether you use this technique or another, make fitness a priority in your life.
