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, where as 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.
FAT-BURNING TARGET HEART RATE
Note: As with all exercises and fitness regimens, always use your best judgment when you increase your exercise time or intensity.
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).
What to Wear
Wear rubber-soled athletic shoes. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely.
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 is an approximation and should be used for reference purposes only.
Seat Adjustment
Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury.
Foot Position / Pedal Strap Adjustment
Foot pedals with straps provide secure footing to the exercise bike.
Be sure toes and knees point directly forward to ensure maximum Pedal efficiency. Pedal straps can be left in position for subsequent workouts.
Using the Shoe Clips (Cleats)
Foot pedals that are equipped for cycling shoes with cleats provide secure footing on the exercise bike. Be sure to turn the Pedals so that the Foot Restraint is under the Pedal.
Prior to use, make sure you understand the operation of the engagement / release mechanism for the pedals and cleats (shoes).
If the body weight of a user is very low, the user may have difficulty with operation of the engagement/release mechanism in the Pedals. It may be necessary to decrease the retention force of the mechanism.
To adjust the retention:
Handlebar Adjustment
To adjust the handlebar position:
Note: If the handle cannot turn due to collision with another part, pull the handle, turn and push it back in to reposition it. Continue turning as needed.
When the machine is not in use, be sure to lock the Flywheel with the Emergency Brake/
Resistance Adjustment Knob. To lock the Flywheel, turn the Emergency Brake/Resistance
Adjustment Knob clockwise until it encounters an increase in resistance. Then rotate the Emergency Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob another 1/2 turn clockwise. The Flywheel is now locked. The flywheel should be locked for storage of the machine.
For safe storage of the machine, remove the power supply and place in a secure location. Tighten the Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob as described until the Flywheel is locked. Place the machine in a secure location away from children and pets.
With the Flywheel locked, the level of resistance will be out of the range of operation displayed by the Console. Do not use the machine with the level of resistance outside of the 0% - 100% range. This will damage the ability to quickly stop the Flywheel during an emergency, and the effectiveness of securing the bike for storage. Turn the Emergency Brake/ Resistance Adjustment Knob until the LEVEL displayed on the Console is less than 100%. The resistance is now in the designed range of operation for the bike.
The Console will enter Power-Up Mode if any button is pushed, or if it receives a signal from the RPM sensor as a result of pedaling.
If the Console does not receive any input in approximately 5 minutes, it will automatically shut off. The LCD display is off while in Sleep Mode.
Note: The Console does not have an On/Off switch.
To adjust the resistance and workload, turn the resistance adjustment knob clockwise. To reduce the resistance, turn the resistance adjustment knob counter-clockwise. The range of movement of the Resistance Adjustment Knob is 0% to slightly past the 100% level of resistance (locked Flywheel). Do not turn the Resistance Adjustment Knob past the range of movement. If turned past the range of movement, damage to the machine may occur.
The units of measurement can be switched between kilometers and miles before you start a workout. To change the units, push UP and DOWN together and hold 3 seconds. When the display begins to blink, use the arrow button to change the units (KM or MI). Push any button to save.
When paused, the Console display will display the current workout values for the workout. To end the paused workout, push and hold down the Reset button.
