Exercise Instructions
Using your spin bike provides you with several benefits such as improving your
physical fitness, toning muscles and together with a calorie-controlled diet
may help you lose weight.
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 cramp 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. Exercise Phase
This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles
in your legs may become stronger. Work to your own pace, but it is very
important to maintein a steady tempo throughout. The rate of work should be
sufficient to raise your heart rate into the target zone shown on the graph
below.
- This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes, although most people start at about 15-20 minutes.
- 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 spin bike you will need to have the resistance set higher. This will put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as lorg.
- If you are also trying to improve your fitness and you need to alter your training program, you should train as normal during the warmup and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase resistance, making your legs work harder than normal.
- You may 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 toimprove your fitness, the only difference is your goal.
CLEANING & CARE
Maintenance
- Before using the bike, always make sure all bolts/nuts are fully tightened.
- A used battery is hazardous waste, dispose of it correctly and do not throw it in the trash.
- When eventually you want to dispose of the spin bike, remove the batteries from the monitor and dispose of them separately as hazardous waste.
