EXERCISES
How to use your ACTIV cycle
The ACTIV cycle can only be used after the power cord is plugged into
the electrical outlet. Do NOT use the ACTIV cycle without the power
plugged in as this will damage the equipment. When using it with the
power-on (motor assisted), the proper way to exercise is to set the
desired speed by using the controller, and then following that speed to
get the best results. Peddling at excessive speeds or applying
excessive force will activate the overload protection circuitry to stop the
motor (to allow user pull out their feet/hands). If the overload situation
persists, it may cause motor damage.
Range of motion and flexibility
This device can be used both upper and lower body. As a lower body
device, it works with passive motion to increase tone of the quadriceps
muscles (muscles in the thigh) and circulate blood flow to the entire
lower leg and foot. For upper body use, it perform as a resistance
device allowing the user to use the pedals as hand grips to exercise the
muscles of the arm (biceps, triceps, deltoids and the smaller muscles of
the forearms).
Routine
People vary in how they adapt to repetitive exercises. In developing an
exercise routine pay attention to how you feel especially after an
exercise is completed. You may feel tired but you should not feel
exhausted. When you first start exercising, the principal muscles you
use will ache slightly, especially the next day. However, they should not
hurt or cramp. No matter what the recommended exercise routine,
never exercise beyond the point of discomfort.
