CAUTION:
The pulse monitoring system may be inaccurate. Excessive
training can cause serious injury or even death. If you feel unwell and/or
lightheaded, stop training immediately. Make sure all users of this exercise
bike are familiar with this information, understand it, and apply it
unconditionally.
PULSE MONITORING USING THE HAND SENSORS
The X-FlexCycle is equipped with pulse hand sensors integrated into the front
handlebars. These hand sensors are used for short-term determination of the
pulse rate. To do this, you need to cover the sensors with both hands at the
same time. The pulse measuring system is based changes in electrical skin
resistance measured by the hand sensors due to the heartbeat and blood
pressure fluctuations. These changes are summarized as a mean value and
shown after a short time on the display as the current pulse rate.
CAUTION:
For large parts of the population, the pulse-induced skin
resistance change is so minimal that usable values cannot be derived from the
measurement results. Also callouses on the palms, damp hands, and body
tremors may prevent correct measurement. In such cases, the pulse value
may be displayed incorrectly or not at all.
If the pulse fails to display or displays incorrectly, check to see if the same
problem occurs for other users. If the problem occurs only with one user, the
X-FlexCycle is not defective.
CAUTION:
The hand sensors measure heart rate only for the purpose of
displaying the current pulse during exercise. This value says nothing about the
safety and effectiveness of the training. Also, this type of measurement is in
no way designed or suitable for medical diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, it is important to discuss with your physician the most suitable
exercise type, duration, and exertion level for you and to create a suitable
exercise plan before you begin using the X-FlexCycle.
This applies especially to those who:
• Are older than 35 years
• Are overweight
• Have too high or too low blood pressure • Have not been physically active for
• Have heart problems
a long period of time

Calculate your personal target heart rate, in beats per minute (shown in the chart
above) when training based on your fitness goals:
MAXIMUM HEART RATE
This value represents your maximum heart rate and serves as a basis from which
to calculate your personal training heart rate.
HEALTH & WELLNESS TRAINING
• Ideal for people who are overweight, older, beginners, and/or who do not exercise
regularly.
FAT BURNING TRAINING
• Ideal for athletes and sports people who aim to lose weight.
CONDITIONING & FITNESS TRAINING
• Ideal for athletes and sports people who want to improve their stamina and/or
conditioning.
For best results, calculate the average value of selected target zone (see chart):
• Health & Wellness:
Zone average = 55% of max heart rate (max heart rate x 0.55)
• Fat Burning:
Zone average = 65% of max heart rate (max heart rate x 0.65)
• Conditioning & Fitness:
Zone average = 75% of max heart rate (max heart rate x 0.75)
Target Zone = 70-80% of Max Heart Rate
Target Zone = 50-60% of Max Heart Rate
220 - Your Age = Max Heart Rate
Target Zone = 60-70% of Max Heart Rate
