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.

Exercise Instructions

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

The warming 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 more flexible. Work to your 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 though most people start at about 15-20 minutes

The cool down phase
This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch. 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 fitness trainer you will need to have the resistance set quite high. This willput more strain on our 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. You will 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 difference is the goal.

Heart 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 slight 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 heartrate 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 metres.
• 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 handpulse 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 metre. 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 which 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.

Expert 70-80% of maximum heart rate
Suitable for the fittest of persons who are used to longendurance workouts.
