Operating Instructions
Adjusting the Seat

Workout Modes
This 3-in-1 exercise bike offers three distinct workout configurations:
- Upright Cycling: For a traditional cycling experience, engaging core and leg muscles.
- Recumbent Cycling: Provides back support and a more relaxed posture, ideal for longer sessions or users seeking less strain on the back.
- Arm Resistance Bands: Integrated bands allow for upper body workouts simultaneously with cycling or independently.

Adjusting Magnetic Resistance
The bike features 8 levels of adjustable magnetic resistance. To increase or decrease the workout intensity, turn the resistance knob located on the main frame. Turn clockwise for higher resistance and counter-clockwise for lower resistance.
Using the LCD Performance Monitor
The integrated LCD monitor tracks your workout progress. It typically displays the following metrics:
- Time: Duration of your current workout.
- Speed: Current cycling speed.
- Distance: Total distance covered during the workout.
- Calories Burned: Estimated calories expended.
- Pulse/Heart Rate: (If equipped with pulse sensors on handlebars) Your current heart rate.
- ODO (Odometer): Total accumulated distance.
Use the "MODE" button to cycle through display functions. The "RESET" button typically clears current workout data. The "SET" button may be used for setting target values (refer to specific monitor instructions if available).
