Exercise Guidelines

Using the REGENERATING MAGNETIC RECUMBENT BIKE can provide several benefits, including improved physical fitness, muscle toning, and weight loss when combined with a calorie-controlled diet.

1. The Warm-Up Phase

This phase helps get the blood flowing and muscles working properly, reducing the risk of cramp and muscle injury. Perform a few stretching exercises, holding each stretch for approximately 30 seconds. Do not force or jerk muscles into a stretch; if it hurts, STOP.

Stretches include: Side Bends, Forward Bends, Outer Thigh, Inner Thigh, Calf / Achilles.

2. The Exercise Phase

This is where you exert effort. Regular use will make leg muscles more flexible. Maintain a steady tempo. The rate of work should be sufficient to raise your heart rate into the target zone shown on the graph. This stage should last a minimum of 12 minutes, though most people start at about 15-20 minutes.

The graph shows Heart Rate (80-200 bpm) against Age (20-75 years), indicating the Target Zone (70%-85% of Maximum Heart Rate) and Cool Down.

3. The Cool Down Phase

This stage allows your cardio-vascular system and muscles to wind down. Repeat the warm-up exercises, reducing tempo for approximately 5 minutes. Remember not to force or jerk muscles into stretches.

As you get fitter, you may train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a week, spacing workouts evenly.

Muscle Toning

To tone muscle, set the resistance quite high. This will put more strain on leg muscles and may limit training duration. For improved fitness, alter your training program by increasing resistance towards the end of the exercise phase, making legs work harder. Reduce speed to keep heart rate in the target zone.

Weight Loss

The key factor is the amount of effort. Working harder and longer burns more calories. This is effectively the same as training to improve fitness; the difference is the goal.

Important Assembly Information

Tools required: 2 adjustable wrenches and Allen wrenches.

Recommendation: Assemble this equipment with two or more people to avoid possible injury.

• Ensure carriage bolts are inserted through the SQUARE holes on components needing assembly. Attach washer only to the end of the carriage bolt.
• Use Allen bolts or hex. bolts inserted through the ROUND hole on components needing assembly.
• Always wait until all bolts are assembled before tightening. Do not tighten each bolt immediately after installation.

Fasten nuts and bolts: Securely tighten all nuts and bolts after all components have been assembled. Do not overtighten any component with a pivoting function. Ensure all pivoting components can move freely.

Care and Maintenance

1. Lubricate moving parts with WD-40 or light oil periodically.
2. Inspect and tighten all parts before using the equipment.
3. Clean the equipment with a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
4. Examine the equipment regularly for signs of damage or wear.
5. Replace any defective components immediately or discontinue use until repair.
6. Failure to examine regularly may affect the safety level of the equipment.

Console Instructions

The console provides various functions and features to monitor your workout.

A. Program Select and Setting Value

Use UP/DOWN keys to select program mode, then press ENTER to confirm. In Manual mode, set TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES, PULSE using UP/DOWN keys. Press START/STOP to begin.

B. Wake-up Function

The monitor enters SLEEP mode (LCD off) after 4 minutes of inactivity. Press any button to wake it up.

Functions and Features:

• TIME: Displays elapsed workout time (MM:SS). Can count up or down.
• DISTANCE: Displays cumulative distance (up to 99.9 MILES).
• RPM: Displays pedaling speed.
• WATT: Displays mechanical power output.
• SPEED: Displays workout speed in MILES per hour.
• CALORIES: Estimates cumulative calories burned.
• PULSE: Displays pulse rate (beats per minute). Works with hand-pulse grips or compatible Polar 5kHZ chest belts.
• AGE: Programmable from 10 to 99 years (defaults to 35).
• TARGET HEART RATE (TARGET PULSE): The heart rate to maintain during exercise.
• PULSE RECOVERY: Measures heart rate recovery after exercise. Results are graded from F1.0 (OUTSTANDING) to F6.0 (POOR).
• DISTANCE BAR: Each bar indicates 100 meters or 0.1 mile.

Key Function Buttons:

• START/STOP: Starts or stops exercise.
• UP: Increases resistance (exercise mode) or value (setting mode).
• DOWN: Decreases resistance (exercise mode) or value (setting mode).
• ENTER: Confirms data entry, resets values (hold for 2 seconds), or sets clock.
• BODY FAT: Inputs personal data (HEIGHT, WEIGHT, GENDER, AGE) to measure body fat ratio.
• PULSE RECOVERY: Activates heart rate recovery function.

Program Introduction & Operation:

• Manual Program (P1): Start exercise with default resistance level 5. Adjust resistance, time, distance, calories, or pulse as desired.
• Preset Programs (P2-P13): Offer various loading profiles (Steps, Hill, Rolling, Valley, Fat Burn, Ramp, Mountain, Intervals, Random, Plateau, Fartlek, Precipice). Users can adjust resistance, time, distance, calories, or pulse.
• User Setting Programs (P14-P17): Allow users to create and store personalized exercise profiles with custom loading in 10 columns.
• Heart Rate Control Programs (P18-P22): Automatically adjust resistance based on detected heart rate to maintain a target heart rate. Includes 55%, 65%, 75%, 85% Max H.R.C. programs and a Target H.R.C. program.
• Watt Control Program (P23): Sets target WATT, TIME, DISTANCE, and CALORIES. Resistance adjusts automatically to maintain a constant WATT output, increasing with slower pedaling and decreasing with faster pedaling.
• Body Fat Program (P24): Calculates body fat ratio and offers specific loading profiles based on body type (FAT% > 27, 27 ≥ FAT% ≥ 20, FAT% < 20).

Error Messages:

• E1: Monitor did not receive count signal from gear motor for over 4 seconds.
• E2: Incorrect I.D. code or damaged memory IC.
• E3: Faulty motor did not leave the zero point after start mode.

LCD Workout Graphics:
