This stage should last for a minimum of 12
minutes though most people start at about
15-20 minutes
The cool down phase
This stage is to let your Cardiovascular 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 fitness trainer 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.

Adjusting resistance
To increase or decrease resistance, turn the
adjustment knob at the top of the handlebar
support tube clockwise (+ direction) to increase
resistance and counter-clockwise (- direction) to
decrease resistance.
The scale above the knob (1-8) helps you find
and reset a suitable resistance.
