Page 34: Exercise Guidelines
How Hard? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Vision Fitness Cycle to prepare for rac- ing, you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity. -
Page 35: Target Heart Rate
The Vision Fitness Programmable and Indexed consoles have a workload readout. Workload is meas- ured on your Vision Fitness Cycle in watts. You can use the workload readout to help you gauge your cur- rent workout intensity and make adjustments as needed. -

Page 41: Common Product Questionspage
COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS Are the sounds my bike makes normal? Our bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resist- ance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance sys- tem itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear some slight mechanical noises. - Page 42 What kind of routine maintenance is required? We use sealed bearings throughout our bike so lubrica- tion is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the bike after each use. Will the magnets wear out over time? No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their brak- ing force indefinitely in this application.
