USE THE RESISTANCE BANDS
TO ADD STRENGTH TRAINING TO YOUR WORKOUT
Incorporate strength training into your workouts with the set of two
resistance bands
(30)
built into the bike frame.
To strength train your upper body:
1. Sit in the seat, lean back against the backrest, and hold a resistance
band handle
(31)
in each hand.
2. Work your biceps, triceps, chest muscles, and shoulders by doing bicep
curls, flys, chest and shoulder presses, and other upper body exercises.
To strength train your lower body:
1. Stand behind the bike and wrap the Velcro leg band
(32)
around one
ankle.
2. Work your hips, glutes, hamstrings, quads, inductors, abductors, and
calves by doing straight leg raises, donkey kicks, back kicks, and more.

ADJUST THE TENSION
OF THE RESISTANCE BANDS
Increase or decrease the tension of the resistance bands by adjusting the
resistance band tension pin
(33A)
and plate
(33B)
.
1. Hold the tension plate in place with one hand as you pull out the
tension pin with your other hand.
2. Slide the metal tension plate up to decrease tension or down to
increase tension. There are three tension adjustment holes behind the
tension plate, along the lower curve of the bike frame. Each provides
a different level of tension: the top hole is easy, the middle hole is
medium, and the bottom hole is difficult.
3. At your desired tension level, align the hole in the side of the tension
plate with the hole in the bike frame behind it.
4. Re-insert the tension pin.
CAUTION:
We recommend beginning with the easiest tension level and
slowly increasing the tension level as you get used to the resistance bands.
