mSeat Adjustment
Proper seat height ensures maximum exercise
efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of
injury.
1. Place one pedal in the down position, and
center the ball of your foot over the center of the
pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee.
(Fig. 1)
If you leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch
the pedal, you will need to lower the seat. If your
leg is too bent, you wil! need to raise the seat.
2. Dismount the bike. unscrew the adjustment knob
on the seat tube and pul! out the locking pin. (Fig. 2)
Lower or raise the seat to the desired height. Allow
the locking pin to engage and fully tighten in place.
Lower Body Workout
Once you are in position and sitting comfortably,
slowly begin pedaling with your arms relaxed at
your sides or with your hands resting on the hand
grips as the arm levers move. Pedal at an easy
pace until you feel secure and comfortable. To
increase the air resistance and workload, increase
your pedaling speed.
mLower and Upper Body Workout
For a complete body workout, grasp the hand grips
with palms down. Push and pull the arm levers as
you pedal, keeping elbows low and next to your
body. To exercise alt the muscle groups in your
arms, vary your hand position on the grips. (Fig. 3)
mUpper Body Only Workout
Once you have gained momentum with pedaling,
you can experiment with an upper body only
workkout technique. Grasp the hand grips firmly
with palms down and place your feet on the foot
pegs near the fanwheel axle. Lean forward at the
hips, keeping your back straight and shoulders
down, while continuing to push and pull the arm
levers. (Fig. 4)
