The VM600 is a bicycle for developing physical fitness that adapts to your morphology through various settings of the saddle and handlebar. You can thus pass from a
restful position handlebar raised, the back straight, to a sporting type position resting on the triathlete handlebar. This product is equipped with a magnetic transmission
for maximal cycling comfort without jolts.
The exercise bike is an excellent cardio-training activity. The exercise undertaken on this apparatus is intended to increase your cardio-vascular capacity. On the basis
of this principle, you improve your physical condition as well as your stamina, and you burn calories. (essential exercise whilst following a diet for weight loss.)
The exercise bike helps to tone the legs and the buttocks. The calf muscles and the lower abdominal muscles are also exercised.

Adjust the height of the saddle by stretching your leg
with the knee slightly bent and the middle of your foot
just reaching the pedal in the lower position.
If you are a beginner, start by exercising for several
days with a slight resistance and weak pedal action,
without forcing, and resting if necessary. Gradually
increase the number and length of your exercise
sessions.
MAINTENANCE / WARM UP :
Start with 10 minutes and gradually build up.
For maintenance work which is intended for maintaining
fitness or for physiotherapy, you can exercise every day for
about ten minutes. This type of exercise is intended to sti-
mulate your muscles and joints or it can be used as a warm
up prior to physical exercise.
To increase tonicity of the legs, choose a greater resistan-
ce and increase the exercise time.
Obviously, you can vary the pedal resistance throughout
your exercise session.
AEROBIC WORK FOR GETTING FIT :
Moderate effort for a fairly long period
(35min to 1 hour).
If you want to lose weight, this type of exercise in conjunc-
tion with diet, is the only means of increasing the amount
of energy used by the body. To achieve this, it is no use for-
cing yourself beyond these limits since the best results are
obtained through regular exercise.
Choose a relatively weak pedal resistance and exercise at
your own pace for a minimum of 30 minutes. This exerci-
se must induce a slight sweating but must not make you
breathless. It is the length and slow pace of the exercise
which will cause your body to dip into your fat reserves to
gain energy, providing you pedal for more than 30
minutes, three times per week minimum.
AEROBIC EXERCISE FOR ENDURANCE :
Sustained effort for 20 to 40 minutes
This type of exercise is intended to significantly strengthen
the cardiac muscle and improve respiration.
The resistance and/or pedal speed is increased so as to
increase the respiratory rate during the exercise.The effort
required is more sustained than that required for the wor-
kout for getting fit.
As you progress in your training, you will be able to sus-
tain this effort over a longer period, at a better rate, or with
a higher resistance. You can exercise for a minimum of
three times per week for this type of workout.
Exercise at a more forced pace (anaerobic work and work
in the red zone) is reserved for athletes and requires a pre-
paration adapted to this purpose.
After each exercise session, spend several minutes redu-
cing the pedal speed and the resistance so as to calm down
the body and gradually return it to a relaxed state.

• The saddle height can be quickly adjusted. Unscrew the knob, pull on the knob
and slide the saddle stem. The knob must engage at the required level. Screw
back the knob to avoid any movement.
• To adjust the pedal stiffness, use the knob at the front of the handlebars.
• You can also adjust the saddle horizontally owing to a nut located under the
saddle.
Adjusting the saddle in depth :
One must step down from the bike to do this setting.
- Loosen the knob till it frees the saddle’s support.
- Make it slide till the saddle is where you want it.
- Thoroughly tighten the knob so as to avoid any sliding or working loose.
