ADJUSTMENTS
CORRECT BODY POSITION
The Recumbent Ergometer E60R is designed to
comfortably distribute your weight evenly over
your buttocks and lumbar region of your lower
back. Your legs are also positioned closer to the
level of your heart, allowing a less strenuous and
more efficient cardiovascular workout. To ensure
proper positioning please follow the recommended
guidelines: the distance between the seat and
the pedals should be adjusted so that your knee
remains slightly bent when your leg is extended
to the furthest pedaling point forward. To adjust
the distance lift the lever located below the seat.
Place first your feet on the pedals, then release the
seat and push it to the right distance. Release the
lever to lock the seat. Make always sure the seat is
locked.
EXERCISING WITH TUNTURI
When you’ve not exercised for a long time,
you should have your condition checked and
consult a doctor, if you are over 40, your physical
condition is poor, you suffer from a chronic illness
or have health problems, or you have injuries
to or problems in your muscles. For endurance
exercising, it’s good to exercise at least 3 times a
week, but remember for your health that once
a week is better than not at all. The effects of
exercising will show after just a few weeks. If you’re
very unfit, start with a 20 minute workout. Once
your condition improves, you can train for 30-60
minutes depending on your goal.
EXERCISE LEVEL
The best training to improve your general fitness
is properly efficient, not too heavy and not too
easy. It’s good to sweat while working out, but
important still to be able to talk comfortably. This
type of exercise is called aerobic or endurance
exercise and your body produces the required
energy by burning body fat with the aid of oxygen.
This in turn leads to a reduction in fat tissue. No
matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results
by training at the right level of effort, and the best
measure is your own heart rate. First find your
maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate doesn’t
increase with added effort. If you don’t know your
