EXERCISE GUIDELINES
Using your MAGNETIC ROWER
will provide you with several benefits, it will improve your physical
fitness, tone muscle and in conjunction with calorie controlled diet help you lose weight.
1. The Warm 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.
2. 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 targeted heart rate but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo
throughout. The rate of work should be sufficient to raise your heartbeat into the target zone shown
on the graph below.
SIDE BENDS OUTER THIGH
INNER THIGH
FORWARD
BENDS
CALF / ACHILLES

© IMPEX INC. www.marcypro.com
20
This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most people start at about 15-20
minutes
3. The Cool Down Phase
This stage is to let your Cardio-vascular 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 MAGNETIC BIKE 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.
