ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED? Your Horizon Fitness upright bike has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It is easy to move your upright bike by rolling it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your Horizon Fitness upright bike in a comfortable and inviting room.
E X E R C I S E G U I D E L I N E S Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program. HOW OFTEN? The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to main- tain cardiovascular fitness.
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts. Cleanliness of your Horizon Fitness upright bike and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, Horizon Fitness recommends that the fol- lowing preventive maintenance schedule be followed.
HOW HARD? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Horizon Fitness upright bike to prepare for a 5K run, you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is gen- eral fitness.
TIPS STRETCH FIRST Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few gentle stretch- ing exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain.
T H E I M P O R T A N C E O F W A R M U P A N D C O O L D O W N WARM UP The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm-up will limber your muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise.
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your Horizon Fitness upright bike to lose weight? Improve muscle? Burn Stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program.
