3. The Cool Down Phase
This stage is to let your
c
ardio-vascular
s
ystem and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of
the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The
stretching exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your
muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least
three times a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.
MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your
REGENERATING MAGNETIC UPRIGHT BIKE
you will
need to have the resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on our leg muscles
and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are also trying to
improve your fitness you need to alter your training program. You should train as normal
during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise
phase you should increase resistance making your legs work harder. You will have to
reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer
you work the more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you were
training to improve your fitness, the difference is the goal.
