EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS

Using your RECUMBENT BIKE will provide you with several benefits, it will improve your physical fitness, tone muscles, and in conjunction with a 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 cramps 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.Marcy ME709 Recumbent Exercise Bike 12
  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 but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate of work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat into the target zone shown on the graph below.Marcy ME709 Recumbent Exercise Bike 13
    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 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 muscles while on your RECUMBENT 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.
