Workouts

The workout must be suitably light but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fitness. You should perspire,  but you should not get out of breath during the workout. To reach and maintain a basic fitness level,  exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time. Increase the number of exercise sessions to improve your fitness level. It is worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A person committed to dieting should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. Start your workout at low speed and low resistance to prevent the cardiovascular system from being subjected to excessive strain. As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance can be increased gradually. The efficiency of your exercise can be measured by monitoring your heart rate and your pulse rate.
Pulse rate measurement (hand pulse sensors)
The pulse rate is measured by sensors in the handlebars when the user is touching both sensors at the same time. Accurate pulse measurement requires that the skin is slightly moist and constantly touching the hand pulse sensors. If the skin is too dry or too moist, the pulse rate measurement will become less accurate.
NOTE 
• Do not use the hand pulse sensors in combination with a heart rate chest belt.
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound when it is exceeded.
Heart rate measurement (heart rate chest belt)
The most accurate heart rate measurement is achieved with a heart rate chest belt. The heart rate is measured by a heart rate receiver in combination with a  heart rate transmitter belt. Accurate heart measurement requires that the electrodes on the transmitter belt are slightly moist and constantly touching the skin.  If the electrodes are too dry or too moist, the heart rate measurement will become less accurate.
WARNING
• If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician before using a heart rate chest belt.
CAUTION
• If there are several heart rate measurement devices next to each other, make sure that the distance between them is at least 1.5 meters.
• If there is only one heart rate receiver and several heart rate transmitters, make sure that only one person with a transmitter is within transmission
range.
NOTE
• Do not use a heart rate chest belt in combination with the hand pulse sensors.
• Always wear the heart rate chest belt under your clothes directly in contact with your skin. Do not wear the heart rate chest belt above your clothes.
If you wear the heart rate chest belt above your clothes, there will be no signal.
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound when it is exceeded.
• The transmitter transmits the heart rate to the console up to a distance of 1 meter. If the electrodes are not moist, the heart rate will not appear on the display.
• Some fibers in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity which can prevent accurate heart rate measurement.
• Mobile phones, televisions, and other electrical appliances create an electromagnetic field that can prevent accurate heart rate measurement.
Maximum heart rate (during training)
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate a person can safely achieve through exercise stress. The following formula is used to calculate the average maximum heart rate: 220 – AGE. The maximum heart rate varies from person to person.
WARNING
• Make sure that you do not exceed your maximum heart rate during your workout. If you belong to a risk group, consult a physician.
Beginner
50-60% of maximum heart rate
Suitable for beginners, weight-watchers, convalescents, and persons who have not exercised for a long time. Exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time. Advanced 60-70% of maximum heart rate Suitable for persons who want to improve and maintain fitness. Exercise at least three times a week, 30  minutes at a time.
