To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise at least three times a week, 30
minutes at a time. Increase the number of exercise sessions to improve your fitness
level. It is worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A person
committed to dieting should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time,
gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. Start your workout at low
speed and low resistance to prevent the cardiovascular system from being subjected
to excessive strain. As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance can be
increased gradually. The efficiency of your exercise can be measured by monitoring
your heart rate and your pulse rate.
Pulse rate measurement (hand pulse sensors)
The pulse rate is measured by sensors in the handlebars when the user is touching
both sensors at the same time.
WARNING
– Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercise
may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint stop exercising
immediately.
Most accurate pulse measurement is achieved when the skin is slightly moist and
constantly touching the hand pulse sensors. If the skin is too dry or too moist, the
pulse rate measurement might become less accurate.
NOTE
– Do not use the hand pulse sensors in combination with a heart rate
chest belt.
– If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound
when it is exceeded.
Heart rate measurement (heart rate chest belt)
The most accurate heart rate measurement is achieved with a heart rate chest belt.
The heart rate is measured by a heart rate receiver in combination with a heart rate
transmitter belt. Accurate heart measurement requires that the electrodes on the
transmitter belt are slight moist and constantly touching the skin. If the electrodes are
too dry or too moist, the heart rate measurement might become less accurate.
