Exercise Instructions

Using your SPIN BIKE provides you with several benefits, it will improve your physical fitness, tone muscle and in conjunction with calorie controlled diet help you lose weight.

Warm-up Phase
This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also reduce the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch – if it hurts, STOP.
The Exercise Phase
This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become stronger. Work to your own pace, but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate of work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat into the target zone shown on the graph below.

This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes, although most people start at about 15-20 minutes.

As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a week, and if  possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.

Muscle Toning
To tone muscle while on your SPIN BIKE you will need to have the resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training program. You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase resistance, making your legs work harder than normal.
You may have to reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.

Weight Loss
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work, the more calories you will burn. Effectively, this is the same as if you were training to improve your fitness, the only difference is your goal.

Use
The tension control knob allows you to alter the resistance of the pedals. A high resistance makes it more difficult to pedal, whereas a low resistance makes it easier.
For the best results, set the tension while the bike is in use.
