Heart Rate Calculations

Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 160 BPM by age 60. This fall in heart rate is usually linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication that training influences the decrease in maximum heart rate. Individuals of the same age could have different maximum heart rates. It is more accurate to find this value by completing a stress test than by using an age related formula.
Your at-rest heart rate is influenced by endurance training. The typical adult has an at-rest heart rate of approximately 72 BPM, whereas highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.
The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovascular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown.
The most efficient procedure to burn fat during exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually increase your intensity until your heart rate reaches between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate. Continue at that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.
The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your optimal target rate may be higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.
Note: As with all exercises and fitness regimens, always use your best judgment when you increase your exercise time or intensity.
FAT-BURNING TARGET HEART RATE

Dumbbell Rack – Dual Position

The Dumbbell Rack on the Handlebar provides convenient storage for the Dumbbells in a horizontal or upright position.

Shoe Clips (Cleats)

Foot pedals that are equipped for cycling shoes with cleats provide secure footing on the exercise bike. The shoe cleats provided fit both the right and left Pedals.
Prior to use, make sure you understand the operation of the engagement/release mechanism for the pedals and cleats (shoes).
Keep cleats and bindings clear of dirt and debris to ensure engagement and release.
Check the cleats periodically for wear. When the cleats are worn, replace them. Replace the cleat when it becomes difficult to release, or starts to release with much less effort than when it was in new condition.
Pedals and cleats are SPD Compatible. They fit any shoe size with the correct cleat mounts: shoes with "Standard 2-Hole MTB SPD Cleat Mounts" (MTB SPD = Mountain Bike Shimano Pedaling Dynamics).

Operations

How Often Should You Exercise

Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine's computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed on the console is an approximation and should be used for reference only.

• 3 times a week for about 20 minutes each day.
• Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule

Note: If you are new to exercise (or returning to a regular exercise program), and you are unable to comfortably complete 20 minutes of continuous exercise at one time, just do 5 – 10 minutes, and gradually increase your workout time until you can reach a 20 minute total.

Seat Adjustment

Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury.

1. With a Pedal in the forward position, place the heel of your foot to the lowest part of it. Your leg should be bent slightly at the knee.

Maintenance

Read all maintenance instructions fully before you start any repair work. In some conditions, an assistant is required to do the necessary tasks.
Equipment must be regularly examined for damage and repairs. The owner is responsible to make sure that regular maintenance is done. Worn or damaged components must be repaired or replaced immediately. Only manufacturer supplied components can be used to maintain and repair the equipment.
If at any time the Warning labels become loose, unreadable or dislodged, replace the labels. If purchased in US/Canada, contact Customer Service for replacement labels. If purchased outside US/Canada, contact your local distributor for them.
Disconnect all power to the machine before you service it.

Daily
Before each use, examine the exercise machine for loose, broken, damaged, or worn parts. Do not use if found in this condition. Repair or replace all parts at the first sign of wear or damage. Make sure adjustment knobs are tight. Tighten as necessary. After each workout, use a damp cloth to wipe your machine and Console free of moisture.
Note: If necessary, only use a mild dish soap with a soft cloth to clean the Console. Do not clean with a petroleum based solvent, automotive cleaner, or any product that contains ammonia. Do not clean the Console in direct sunlight or at high temperatures. Be sure to keep the Console free of moisture.

Weekly
Check pedals and tighten as necessary.
Clean the machine to remove any dust, dirt, or grime from the surfaces.
Check for smooth seat operation. If needed, sparingly apply a thin coating of silicone lube to ease operation.
Silicone lubricant is not intended for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a safe place.
Note: Do not use petroleum based products.

Monthly
(Or after 20 hours)
Check crank arms and tighten as necessary. Make sure all bolts and screws are tight. Tighten as necessary.
Check the drive belt tension and adjust if necessary.
When the machine is used in a Studio/Institutional environment, we recommend that the Pedals be replaced every year to maintain maximum user safety and performance. Only use replacement Pedals available from BowFlex. Other brands of Pedals may not be designed for this product, and can cause danger to users and bystanders, and will void the warranty.

Checking the Drive Belt Tension

To check the Drive Belt tension, the bike needs to be operated. Get the pedals rotating at about 20 RPM. Then suddenly increase the RPM to your maximum ability. If the pedals move normally with no slipping, the tension is correct. If the Pedals slip, the belt needs to be adjusted.
The "Adjust the Belt Tension" procedure can be found in the Service Manual.
