increase the comfort and safety of your training. The indoor cycle offers different saddle and handlebars setting possibilities. Use these adjusting possibilities for optimal sitting comfort and maximum training efficiency. An incorrect position while training may cause preventable pain and increase the risk of injury. Adjustment of handlebar position Handlebar height • The handlebars height can be adjusted individually. • Begin with adjusting the handlebars support to the seat height. A higher adjusting of the handlebars support provides a more upright sitting position; a lower adjustment leads to a bent over position. • In order to adjust the height of the handlebars, pull the adjusting lever from the handlebars support up and move the bar up or down as desired. Move the adjusting lever down to the locked position in order to secure the handlebar support again. • Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings. Horizontal adjustment • Loosen the upper adjusting lever on the handlebars support and slide the handlebars forward or backwards as desired. • This adjustment should be done so that you can comfortably grab the handlebars with slightly bent elbows. • Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings. Hand position • In order to avoid one-sided stress to muscles, ligaments and joints, you should constantly change your hand position during longer training sessions. Here, the handlebars offer different grip possibilities. Adjustment of saddle position Saddle height • Stand next to the seatpost and adjust the saddle to the height of your hips. • Rotate the pedal cranks so that the pedals are vertical in the 12 and 6 o’clock position. • Place a foot in the lower positioned basket pedals and get on the indoor cycle. Your knees should be slightly bent. • If your leg is stretched out too much or your foot does not touch the pedal, the saddle must be lowered. If your leg is bent too much, the saddle must be set higher.

Then slide the seatpost up or down as required. • If the saddle is in the desired position, place the clamp lever back into the locked position in order to secure the seatpost. • Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings. Horizontal adjustment • Sit on the indoor cycle and rotate the pedal cranks into the 3 and 9 o’clock position. If the knee from your leg facing forward is directly above the axle of the pedal, the horizontal setting of the seat is correct. • Otherwise get off the bicycle in order to adjust the longitudinal direction backwards or forward as required. To do this, loosen the setting lever on the saddle and slide the seat forward or backwards as desired. Then pull the lever tight again. • Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings. CAUTION • Due to safety reasons, do not pedal backwards while brake resistance is set. • The machine is NOT equipped with a free-run system. That means: If you move the flywheel, the pedals move as well. In order to avoid knee injuries, do not try to stop the equipment by pedaling backwards. Also do not try to take your feet from the rotating pedals. The motion can only be stopped by pressing the emergency brake or through a controlled reduction of the pedal rate.

Pulse measuring through hand sensors The hand sensors integrated in the handles allow you to determine your heart rate. You can measure your heart rate by lightly grasping the sensors with both hands at the same time. Blood pressure changes occur due to the heartbeat. The sensors measure the changes to the electric skin resistance caused by it. These values are then used to create an average and are displayed on the screen of the console as a heart rate. Note: For some people, the skin resistance change caused by the heart rate is so minimal that the measurements do not allow for usable values. Strong callus or sweat on the hands may also impair a correct measurement. In such cases, the heart rate will not be shown at all or only incorrectly. If the measurement is incorrect or not taken at all, please check if it happens to only one person or to several people. If the pulse display only does not work in a single case, the equipment is not defective. In this case, we recommend using a chest strap to achieve a permanently correct heart rate display. CAUTION: Your training equipment is not a medical device. Different factors may influence the accuracy of the heart rate display. The heart rate display only serves as a training aid. Telemetric heart rate measuring This indoor cycle is already equipped with a heart rate receiver as standard. Using a chest strap makes it possible for you to have a wireless heart rate measuring. This optimal and ECG-precise type of measuring reads the heart rate directly from the skin through a transmitting chest strap. The chest strap then sends the impulse to the receiver integrated in the console. Positioning the chest strap and moistening the electrodes: Place the belt directly below the chest, while the transmitter should be placed on the middle of the chest. The chest strap should sit comfortably, but not too loose. If the belt is too loose, the contact to the electrodes may be disrupted or the belt may slip while exercising. The transmitter turns on automatically once it is put on. In order to allow for a precise measuring, you should moisten the rubber electrodes. This is best done with a special chest strap contact gel, which is also used for ultrasound scans.

to your physician in order to discuss your training with them. You should also contact your physician in advance in the event of heart problems, high/low blood pressure and obesity. Training with heart rate orientation Heart rate orientation guarantees an extremely effective and healthy training. Through your age and the following table, you can quickly and easily read and determine the optimal pulse for your training. An alarm will sound if your heart rate exceeds the set target heart rate. Which target heart rate is important for which training goal can be found out in the following. Fat burning (weight management): The main goal here is to burn deposits of fat. In order to achieve this training goal, a low training intensity (approximately 55% of the maximum heart rate) and a longer training period are required. Cardiovascular training (cardio training): The primary goal is to increase endurance and fitness through an improved provision of oxygen through the cardiovascular system. In order to achieve this training goal, medium intensity (approximately 75% of the maximum heart rate) with a medium training period is required. Anaerobic (maximum) load training: The main goal of maximum load training is to improve recovery after short, intense loads in order to be able to quickly return to the aerobic zone. In order to achieve this training goal, a high intensity (approximately 90% of the maximum heart rate) with short, intense load is required, which is followed by a recovery phase in order to prevent muscle fatigue.

• The fat burning target zone (55%) is at approximately 96 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.55. • The cardio target zone (75%) is at approximately 131 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.75. • The maximum heart rate for an anaerobic load training (90%) is at approximately 157 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.9. 20 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 65 70 60 55 50 45 40 35 25 30 200 195 190 185 180 175 170 180 150 110 146 107 175 171 166 162 157 153 148 143 139 135 131 128 124 105 102 99 96 94 91 88 85 83 113 116 120 144 139 136 150 155 160 165 Heart rate diagram for training intensity Maximum pulse (220-age) 90% of maximum pulse - anaerobic (maximum) intensity training 75% of maximum pulse - cardiovascular training (cardio training) 55% of maximum pulse - fat burning (weight control) Heartbeats Age

1. Set goals What would you like to achieve with your training? Weight regulation, improved endurance, prevent risk of disease, more mobility, cardiovascular training, etc. In order to achieve your long-term training goal, set individual partial goals, e. g., weekly or monthly goals. 2. Concentration on training Try to only dedicate yourself to your training unit and do not be distracted. 3. Position yourself correctly while exercising As you pedal, your upper body should be shifted slightly forward and your back held straight. Avoid side-to-side motion in the hips and back. 4. Correct breathing / appropriate resistance level Do not overexert yourself physically and mentally by starting with resistance levels that are too high. Start slowly and increase the resistance steadily. Aim for regular and calm breathing. 5. Keep yourself properly hydrated Drink, drink, drink! Have a drinking bottle close by during your workout. 6. Sufficient recovery periods Allow your body and your muscles enough time to recover after your workout. Only a relaxed muscle will be fully operational again. 7. Exercise diversity Activate different groups of muscles during your training with different levels of intensity. Use different body (standing, sitting) and grip positions for this. 8. Creating the right workout Every training session should have a warm-up phase, a cool-down phase and a targeted stretching. It increases physical and mental performance and prevents injuries and sore muscles.

Keep a record of your training sessions. Note the date, resting pulse, active pulse, recovery pulse, resistance level, time, distance, calories burnt and fitness level 10. Reward yourself Do something good for you and your body after training or after achieving a partial goal. Go to the sauna or a swimming pool. Mix a protein shake or enjoy a delicious salad. 5.3 Designing a workout We recommend two or three workouts per week. Warm up for about five minutes before starting each workout. Finish the workout with a cool-down and targeted stretching. Warm-up approx. five min. Dynamic movement of large muscle groups at a low intensity. Core body temperature increases and the metabolic process is speeded up. WEEK 1 + 2 Beginner Advanced Days Duration Intensity Duration Intensity Mon 20 min. Slow speed without resistance 30 min.
