MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your SPINNING BIKE you will need to have the resistance set quite high. This
will put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like.
If you are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training program. You should train
as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you
should increase resistance, making your legs work harden than normal. You may have to reduce your
speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work the more
calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve your fitness, the
difference is the goal.
USE
The tension control knob allows you to alter the resistance of the pedals. A high resistance makes it
more difficult to pedal, a low resistance makes it easier. For the best results set the tension while the
bike is in use.
