The exercise phase

This is the stage where you put the effort in� After regular use, the 
muscles in your legs will become more flexible� Work to your but it is 
very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout� The rate of 
work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat into the target zone 
shown on the graph below�

HEART RATE

TARGET ZONE

This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most 
people start at about 15-20 minutes

The cool down phase

This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System 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 fitness trainer 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�

Heart rate

Pulse rate measurement   (hand pulse sensors)

The pulse rate is measured by sensors in the handlebars when the 
user is touching both sensors at the same time� Accurate pulse 
measurement requires that the skin is slightly moist and constantly 
touching the hand pulse sensors� If the skin is too dry or too moist, 
the pulse rate measurement will become less accurate�

  ‼  NOTE

•  Do not use the hand pulse sensors in combination with a heart 

rate chest belt�

•  If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound 

when it is exceeded�

Heart rate measurement   (heart rate chest belt)

  ‼  NOTE

•  A chest strap does not come standard with this trainer� When 

you like to use a wireless chest strap you need to purchase this 
as an accessory�

The most accurate heart rate measurement is achieved with a heart 
rate chest belt� The heart rate is measured by a heart rate receiver 
in combination with a heart rate transmitter belt� Accurate heart 
measurement requires that the electrodes on the transmitter belt are 
slight moist and constantly touching the skin� If the electrodes are 
too dry or too moist, the heart rate measurement will become less 
accurate�

 ⚠ WARNING 

•  If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician before using a 

heartrate chest belt�

 ⚠ CAUTION

•  If there are several heart rate measurement devices next to each 

other, make sure that the distance between them is at least 1�5 
metres�

•  If there is only one heart rate receiver and several heart rate 

transmitters, make sure that only one person with a transmitter 
is within transmission range�

  ‼  NOTE

•  Do not use a heart rate chest belt in combination with the 

handpulse sensors�

•  Always wear the heart rate chest belt under your clothes directly 

in contact with your skin� Do not wear the heart rate chest belt 
above your clothes� If you wear the heart rate chest belt above 
your clothes, there will be no signal�

•  If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound 

when it is exceeded�

•  The transmitter transmits the heart rate to the console up to a 

distance of 1 metre� If the electrodes are not moist, the heart 
rate will not appear on the display�

•  Some fibers in clothes (e�g� polyester, polyamide) create static 

electricity which can prevent accurate heart rate measurement�

•  Mobile phones, televisions and other electrical appliances 

create an electromagnetic field which can prevent accurate 
heart rate measurement�

Maximum heart rate   (during training)

The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate a person can safely 
achieve through exercise stress� The following formula is used to 
calculate the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE� The maximum 
heart rate varies from person to person�

 ⚠ WARNING 

•  Make sure that you do not exceed your maximum heart rate 

during your workout� If you belong to a risk group, consult a 
physician�
