Exercising
eXerbike Upright Cycle was designed primarily asan aerobic exercise
machine for building cardiovascular fitness. Forbuilding and maintain-
ing cardio-respiratory fitness, the American College of Sports Medicine
recommends training 3-5 days per week with 20-60 minutes of continu-
ous aerobic activity.
The results you want to achieve from your exercise program will deter-
mine how you use the eXerbike. In the following pages we will present
basic exercise information that can help you reach your fitness goals.
Heart Rates and Exercise
Monitoring your heart rate during aerobic exercise is important. Exercis-
ing with your heart rate too high can be dangerous, while exercising
with your heart rate too low reduces the cardiovascular benefits. When
doing aerobic exercise there are two types of heart rate you should be
familiar with: Maximum (MHR) and Target Heart Rate(THR).
Maximum Heart Rate
Maximum heart rate varies primarily according to your age. It can be
described as the most beats per minute your heart should make. The
general rule for determining your MHR is to subtract your age from 220
(220 – AGE = MHR). You do not want to exercise at your MHR, so the
next step is to establish your target heart rate.
Target Heart Rate
For maximum benefits you should workout 20-60 mins.
Zone:
THR = MHR x 60% to MHR x 90%
Strength Sets
Set the resistance to a level where you can exercise with some effort at
a slow pace for one minute. Exercise for one minute, then rest. Increase
or decrease the resistance level slightly for each additional set. Perform
3-5 sets.
Speed Sets
Set the resistance to a level where you can exercise with little effort.
Exercise for one minute as quickly as possible, then rest for several
minutes. Perform 3-5 sets.
CAUTION
:
If you feel pain or discomfort, stop exercising immediately.
Do not attempt to "work through" pain or injury
Cleaning eXerbike Upright Cycle
Cleaning is one of the most important and easiest ways to keep your
eXerbike Upright Cycle in new condition. In addition, clean equipment
lasts longer and increases customer satisfaction.For best results, we
recommend a regular cleaning schedule with assigned times. However,
any surface that appears soiled should be cleaned immediately. Waiting
for scheduled cleaning allows stains to set and can permanently mark the
look of your equipment.
When cleaning eXerbike Upright Cycle always use a damp, soft cloth.
DO NOT
use a dry cloth because abrasive lint may scratch the plastic
surface. Use mild spray cleaners only on the body if necessary to remove
stubborn adhesive or oil stains.
DO NOT USE ACETONE.
Acetone will dull the finish and may
damage plastic surfaces.
