F. MAINTAINING C51U CYCLE
G. GUIDELINES FOR EXERCISE
The SportsArt C51U cycle requires little maintenance, but smooth operation requires
that the unit be kept as clean as possible.
Regular cleaning is recommended to keep your C51U at peak performance. Before
your workout, use a dry cloth to clean the surface of the electronics package.
NEVER POUR LIQUIDS ON THE ELECTRONICS PACKAGE.
To clean the plastic parts, use mild detergent and make sure the unit is completely
dry before operating. It is recommended that you keep all liquids away from the unit
during operation. Spillage of liquids onto or into the machine will void the warranty.
The duration of your exercise session is dependent on your fitness level. In general,
it is recommended that you maintain your heart rate in the training zone for at least
10 minutes to realize an aerobic benefit. As your fitness level inproves, you will be
able to maintain your heart rate in the training zone for longer periods.
When starting your workout, use the first several minutes to warm up, and then
slowly increase your workload to bring your heart rate into your desired training zone.
At the end of your workout, gradually decrease your workload, and then exercise
lightly as a "cool down".
Aerobic exercise, to achieve the greatest benefits, should be performed 3-5 times a
week. It is important to allow sufficient time, at least 24 hours, for your body to
recover after exercise.
