Page 24: Common Questions
COMMON BIKE QUESTIONS Q: Are the sounds my Bike makes normal? A: Our Bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade European bearings and top quality belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear some slight mechanical noises from the drive train. - Page 25 Q: What kind of routine maintenance is required? A: We use sealed bearings throughout our Bikes so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the Bike after each use. Q: Will the magnets wear out over time? A: No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their braking force indefinitely in this application.

Page 54: Developing A Fitness Program
DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM WARM-UP When you exercise you need more oxygen to fuel your muscles. This oxygen is carried to the muscles through blood. The increasing demands of exercise will cause increased breathing rate, heart rate, blood flow and blood temperature. -
Page 55: Flexibility
FLEXIBILITY Before stretching, take a few minutes to warm-up as stretching a cold muscle can cause injury. When stretching you should start slowly, exhaling as you gently stretch the muscle. Try to hold each stretch for at least 15 to 30 seconds. Don’t bounce when you stretch. Holding a stretch is more effective and less of a risk for injury. - Page 56 STANDING CALF STRETCH Standing about 3 feet from a wall, take one step forward with your left foot. Place your hands on the wall in front of you. Your elbows slightly bent, shoulders, hips, and feet are pointed directly towards the wall.

Page 59: Rate Of Perceived Exertion
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Rate of Perceived Exertion (R.P.E.) is one of the easiest ways to monitor exercise intensity. By becoming familiar with the RPE scale, you can continually assess your level of intensity and insure a level of exertion that is comfortable. - Page 60 Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation benefits.
