What to Wear
Wear rubber-soled athletic shoes. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely.
How Often Should You Exercise
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest,
become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or
measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only.

Schedule workouts in advance. Try to work out even when you do not want to.
Seat Adjustment
Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk
of injury.
1. With a Pedal in the forward position, center the ball of your foot over the
center of it. Your leg should be bent slightly at the knee.
2. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the Pedal, move the
seat down on the upright bike or forward on the recumbent bike. If your
leg is bent too much, move the seat up on the upright bike or backward
on the recumbent bike.
3. Adjust the upright seat height by first dismounting the bike, then pull
the adjustment knob on the seat tube. Adjust the seat to the desired
height. Release the adjustment knob, which engages the locking pin. Be
sure that the pin is fully secured. To adjust the recumbent seat, pull the
adjustment knob. Slide the seat to the desired position. The adjustment
knob will “pop” into the next hole. Be sure to turn the knob to be sure
of a secure fit.
Foot Position / Pedal Strap Adjustment
Foot pedals with straps provide secure footing to the exercise bike.
1. Put the ball of each foot on the Pedals.
2. Rotate the Pedals until one can be reached.
3. Fasten the strap over the shoe.
4. Repeat for the other foot.
Be sure toes and knees point directly forward to ensure maximum Pedal efficiency. Pedal
straps can be left in position for subsequent workouts.
