Workouts

The workout must be suitably light, but of long
duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving
the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn
improves endurance and fitness. You should perspire,
but you should not get out of breath during the
workout.
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. Accurate pulse measurement requires that 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 will 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
will become less accurate.
WARNING
• If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician
before using a heartrate chest belt.
CAUTION
• If there are several heart rate measurement
devices next to each other, make sure that the
distance between them is at least 1.5 metres.
• If there is only one heart rate receiver and several
heart rate transmitters, make sure that only one
person with a transmitter is within transmission
range.
NOTE
• Do not use a heart rate chest belt in combination
with the handpulse sensors.
• Always wear the heart rate chest belt under your
clothes directly in contact with your skin. Do
not wear the heart rate chest belt above your
clothes. If you wear the heart rate chest belt
above your clothes, there will be no signal.
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an
alarm will sound when it is exceeded.
• The transmitter transmits the heart rate to the
console up to a distance of 1 metre. If the
electrodes are not moist, the heart rate will not
appear on the display.
• Some fibers in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide)
create static electricity which can prevent
accurate heart rate measurement.
• Mobile phones, televisions and other electrical
appliances create an electromagnetic field which
can prevent accurate heart rate measurement.
Maximum heart rate
(during training)
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate a
person can safely achieve through exercise stress. The
following formula is used to calculate the average
maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The maximum heart
rate varies from person to person.
WARNING
• Make sure that you do not exceed your
maximum heart rate during your workout. If you
belong to a risk group, consult a physician.
Beginner
50-60% of maximum heart rate
Suitable for beginners, weight-watchers, convalescents
and persons who have not exercised for a long time.
Exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a
time.
Advanced
60-70% of maximum heart rate
Suitable for persons who want to improve and maintain
fitness. Exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes
at a time.
