Workouts

The workout must be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic 
exercise is based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen uptake, 
which in turn improves endurance and fitness. You should perspire, 
but you should not get out of breath during the workout. 
To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise at least three 
Times a week, 30 minutes at a Time. Increase the number of exercise 
sessions to improve your fitness level. It is worthwhile to combine 
regular exercise with a healthy diet. A person committed to dieting 
should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a Time, gradually 

increasing the daily workout Time to one hour. Start your workout at 
low speed and low resistance to prevent the cardiovascular system 

from being subjected to excessive strain. 

As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance can be increased 
gradually. The efficiency of your exercise can be measured by 

monitoring your heart rate and your pulse rate.

 ⚠ WARNING

• 

Always consult a doctor before beginning an exercise program.

• 

Stop immediately if you feel faint or dizzy.

Exercise Instructions

Using your fitness trainer will provide you with several benefits, it will 
improve your physical fitness, tone muscle and in conjunction with a 

calorie controlled diet help you lose weight.

The warming up phase

This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the 
muscles working properly. It will also reduce the risk of cramp and 
muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown 
below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do 
not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch - if it hurts, STOP

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.

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 Calorie 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.

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.
