TIPS FOR USING YOUR FLEXCYCLE PLUS
HOW TO PEDAL
1. Start pushing downward on the pedal when the pedal arm is at its highest
position.
2. Stop pedaling when the pedal is at its lowest position.
3. Make sure to press downward with your feet while you are pedaling.
KEEP YOUR UPPER BODY STILL
Pedaling is easier when you keep your upper body still.
1. Use your legs to pedal, not your body.
2. Your head and upper body should not move while you are pedaling.
3. Don’t rock from side to side.
4. It is easier to keep your body still if you press your feet downward--rather
than forward--on the pedals.
EXERCISING YOUR ARMS
You can also use the FlexCycle Plus to exercise your arms. Attach the arm pedals
as shown on page 9. To exercise your arms:
1. Hold onto the pedals with both hands.
2. Push the pedals forward using a circular motion.
The included resistance bands provide a great way to exercise your arms and legs
at the same time. While you are biking, use the resistance bands to do bicep curls,
shoulder presses, and more!
SAFETY TIPS
• Place the FlexCycle Plus on a sturdy, level, non-slip surface, with at least 12
inches of clearance on all sides. Place a mat or rug under the bike to protect
your carpet or flooring.
• Stop exercising immediately if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or nauseous, or if
you experience pain, tightness in your chest, irregular heartbeat, or extreme
shortness of breath.
• Start with the lowest resistance level.
• Slowly increase the resistance, as well as your speed and workout duration.
• Drink plenty of water before, during, and after exercise.
• Do not sit or stand on the FlexCycle Plus.
• Do not use on a full stomach.
