Turning the knob in a clockwise direction increases pedal resistance. Turning the knob in a counter clockwise direction decreases pedal resistance.

Typically the handlebar position is positioned slightly higher then the seat position for beginning cyclists.
ES80_2013 OM English 052213'.qxd 2013/5/22 7:23 PM Page 12 PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT Place the ball of each foot in the toe clip so the shoe fits snugly into the clip of the cage. Rotate one of the pedals to within arms reach. Pull on the strap of the clip to tighten the clip snugly around your shoe and tuck in excess strap.

ES80_2013 OM English 052213'.qxd 2013/5/22 7:23 PM Page 24 BALANCED FITNESS While cardiovascular exercise has been the primary method of fitness for many programs over the years, it should not be the only method. Strength Training and Flexibility Training have become more popular as exercise has developed.
ES80_2013 OM English 052213'.qxd 2013/5/22 7:23 PM Page 25 STRETCHING Flexibility Training is not associated with fitness as often as cardiovascular exercise or Strength Training, even though it is just as important. A good stretching program will help to maintain flexibility of the hips and lower back.
