CAN I MOVE THE UPRIGHT BIKE EASILY 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.
If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has been found to be most effective. A workout time of 48 minutes or more is recommended for best weight loss results. Express Series...
• Wipe down the upright bike with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they can cause damage to the upright bike. • Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, contact Horizon Fitness. • Make sure the power cord is not underneath the upright bike or in any other area where it can become pinched or cut.
A good rule of thumb is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it’s time to slow down. Always be aware of other warning signs of overex- ertion. Express Series...
D E V E L O P I N G A F I T N E S S P R O G R A M STRETCH FIRST Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexi- bility and reduce chances of exercise related injury.
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. Make sure that you warm-up on your Horizon Fitness product at a slow pace. COOL DOWN Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period allows your heart to readjust to the decreased demand.
Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation bene- fits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your Horizon Fitness upright bike con- sole provides you with several readouts that can be used to record your progress.
LABOR - 90 DAYS Horizon Fitness shall cover the labor cost for the repair of the device for a period of one year from the date of the original purchase, so long as the device remains in the possession of the original owner.
