INTRODUCTION

CARE & STORAGE OF YOUR UPRIGHT BIKE

Care Directions

CONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING

YOUR UPRIGHT BIKE

Your bike has been carefully designed to require minimum maintenance. However, we recommend

the following to keep your bike operating smoothly.

With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start

your own workout program to tone and firm the major muscle groups of

your lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness

level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is toning, health

maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.

• Use your bike indoors only.

• Wipe all perspiration from your bike with a soft, clean cloth after each use to prevent an

accumulation of sweat and dirt.

• Clean your bike on a regular basis to prevent a build-up of dust. Use Windex or an alcohol

based cleanser on a clean cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners and/or polish as these

will damage the surface.

Proper exercise, including a low fat diet, strength training and aerobic

exercise, tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand,

walk, lift and turn. It can actually transform our body composition by

reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in

our bodies. Using the Upright Bike will help in reducing body

fat and increasing cardiovascular endurance.

• Store your bike in a dry area away from children and high traffic areas.

• Regularly check the tightness of nuts and bolts.

Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.

Storing Directions

It is the authoritative source of information about your Upright Bike.

Retain this manual for future reference.

Your bike is portable. If you need to change the location of your bike, please follow the

steps below.

• Stand at the front of the bike and grasp the handlebars.

• Tip the bike forward until it is resting on the front transportation wheels/front rollers.

• Wheel the bike to its new location and carefully lower the bike back down to the floor.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

WARM UP & COOL DOWN STRETCHES

Occasionally our products contain components that are pre-lubricated at the factory. We recommend

that you protect flooring, or anything else the parts may contact, with newspaper or cloth.

Stretches can help improve flexibility and relieve the tightness in muscles

that results from repetitive sport movements that require a limited range

of motion. 10 to 12 minutes of daily stretching is recommended. This can

be done when warming up or cooling down. When performing these

stretches, your movements should be slow and smooth, with no bouncing

or jerking. Move into the stretch until you feel a slight tension, not pain, in

the muscle and hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Breathe slowly and

rhythmically. Be sure not to hold your breath. Remember that all stretches

must be done for both sides of your body.

CLOTHING

STEP 4 – Attaching the Monitor

and Handlebars

All exercise clothing should be loose-fitting to

permit freedom of movement, and should make

the wearer feel comfortable and self-assured.

of the Monitor.

Never wear rubberized or plastic clothing, such

garments interfere with the evaporation of

perspiration and can cause body temperature

to rise to dangerous levels.

b) Connect the Monitor Wire to the Monitor

If you are just beginning your exercise program,

your target heart rate range should be roughly at

60% of your maximum heart rate. As you become

more conditioned (or if you are already in good

cardiovascular shape) you can increase your

target heart rate to 70% - 85% of your maximum

heart rate. Remember, your target heart rate is

only a guide.

TIPS TO KEEP YOU GOING

Note: Do not pinch Wires while attaching

the Monitor.

1) Adopt a specific plan and write it down.

When checking heart rate during a workout, take

your pulse within five seconds after interrupting

exercise because it starts to go down once you

stop moving. Count pulse for 10 seconds and

multiply by six to get the per-minute rate.

2) Keep setting realistic goals as you go along,

Note: Do not pinch Wires while attaching

the Right Handlebar.

e) Connect the Left Pulse Sensor w/Wire to the

Left Pulse Extension Wire located on the left

side of the Monitor Tube.

and remind yourself of them often.

3) Keep a log to record your progress and make

sure to keep it up-to-date. See pages 22 - 23.

Remember, your bike also comes with pulse

sensors located on the handlebars.

and tighten with wrench.

Note: Pedals are marked Right & Left.

Here are the amounts of activity necessary for the

average healthy person to maintain a minimum

level of overall fitness. Included are some of the

popular exercises for each category.

You can do different types of aerobic activities, say

walking one day, and use your bike the next. Make

sure you choose an activity that can be done

regularly, and is enjoyable for you. The important

thing to remember is not to skip too many days

between workouts or fitness benefits will be lost.

If you must lose a few days, gradually work back

into your routine.

a) To attach Left Foot Pedal turn the Pedal Bolt

counter-clockwise unit snug. DO NOT turn

clockwise. Doing so will strip the threads.

WARM UP – 5-10 minutes of exercise such as

walking, slow jogging, knee lifts, arm circles or

trunk rotations. Low intensity movements that

simulate movements to be used in the activity

can also be included in the warm up.

b) To attach Right Foot Pedal turn the Pedal

WHEN TO EXERCISE

MUSCULAR STRENGTH – a minimum of two, 20

minute sessions per week that include exercises for

all the major muscle groups. Lifting weights is the

most effective way to increase strength.

The hour just before the evening meal is a popular

time for exercise. The late afternoon workout

provides a welcome change of pace at the

end of the work day and helps dissolve the day's

worries and tensions.

crank

main frame

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE – at least three, 30 minute

sessions each week that include exercises such as

calisthenics, push ups, sit ups, pull ups, and weight

training for all the major muscle groups.

Another popular time to work out is early morning,

before the work day begins. Advocates of the early

start say it makes them more alert and energetic

on the job.

left foot

pedal

CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE – at least

three, 20 minute workouts of continuous aerobic

exercise each week. Working out on your bike is

a good way to obtain this aerobic activity. Other

popular aerobic conditioning activities include brisk

walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, rope jumping,

rowing, cross-country skiing, and some continuous

action games like racquetball and handball.

Among the factors you should consider in

developing your workout schedule are personal

preference, job and family responsibilities,

availability of exercise facilities and weather. It's

important to schedule your workouts for a time

when there is little chance that you will have to

cancel or interrupt them because of other

demands on your time.

Figure 5 - Install Pedals

FLEXIBILITY – 10-12 minutes of daily stretching

exercises performed slowly, without a bouncing

motion. This can be included after a warm up or

during a cool down. Refer to pages 19 and 20

for a list of total body stretches.

You should not exercise strenuously during

extremely hot, humid weather or within two

hours after eating. Heat and/or digestion both

make heavy demands on the circulatory system,

and in combination with exercise can be an

over-taxing double load.

MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE

AC adapter

(see chart on page 18)

AEROBIC EXERCISE:

HOW MUCH? HOW OFTEN?

Heart rate is widely accepted as a good method

for measuring intensity during running, swimming,

cycling, and other aerobic activities. Exercise that

doesn't raise your heart rate to a certain level and

keep it there for 20 minutes won't contribute

significantly to cardiovascular fitness.

Experts recommend that you do some form of

aerobic exercise at least three times a week for a

minimum of 20 continuous minutes. Of course, if

that is too much, start with a shorter time span and

gradually build up to the minimum. Then gradually

progress until you are able to work aerobically for

20-40 minutes. If you want to lose weight, you may

want to do your aerobic workout five times a week.

Assembly is now complete.

The heart rate you should maintain is called your

Target Heart Rate. There are several ways of arriving

at this figure. One of the simplest is: maximum heart

rate (220 - age) x 70%. Thus, the target heart rate for

a 40 year-old would be 126. In this example for this

40 year old to get a cardiovascular effect the

If you are over 35 and have been inactive for

examining its components, or "parts".

There is widespread agreement that these

five components comprise the basics of

physical training:

several years, you should consult your physician,

who may or may not recommend a graded

exercise test.

If you are just beginning your exercise program,

your target heart rate range should be roughly at

60% of your maximum heart rate. As you become

more conditioned (or if you are already in good

cardiovascular shape) you can increase your

target heart rate to 70%-85% of your maximum

heart rate. Remember, your target heart rate is

only a guide.

CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE – the ability

to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and to

remove wastes, over sustained periods of time.

Using your bike will improve this.

MUSCULAR STRENGTH – the ability of a muscle to

exert force for a brief period of time. Upper-body

strength, for example, can be measured by various

weight-lifting exercises.

You should also consult your physician if you

have the following:

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE – the ability of a

muscle, or a group of muscles, to sustain repeated

contractions or to continue applying force against

a fixed object. Push ups are often used to test

endurance of arm and shoulder muscles.

BODY COMPOSITION – often considered a

component of fitness. It refers to the makeup of

the body in terms of lean mass (muscle, bone,

vital tissue and organs) and fat mass. An optimal

ratio of fat to lean mass is an indication of fitness,

and the right types of exercises will help you

decrease body fat and increase or maintain

muscle mass. To help track your progress we have

provided Workout Progress Charts on page 22.

A COMPLETE EXERCISE PROGRAM

• Balance Impairment

How often, how long and how hard you exercise,

and what kinds of exercises you do should be

determined by what you are trying to accomplish.

Your goals, your present fitness level, age, health,

skills, interest and convenience are among the

factors you should consider. For example, an

athlete training for high-level competition would

follow a different program than a person whose

goals are good health and the ability to meet

work and recreational needs.

• Taking medications that affect heart rate

Your exercise program should include something

from each of the four basic fitness components

GETTING STARTED

OPERATING THE MONITOR

Once your bike is assembled, make sure that your workout space has a solid,

level surface with plenty of space around it. We recommend placing a mat

under your bike to protect your flooring.

WARNING

Do not carry batteries loosely, such as

in a purse or pocket. The batteries may

explode or leak and cause injury if

installed improperly, misused, disposed

of in a fire or recharged.

Correct Workout Position

When pedaling do not lock out your knees, at the bottom of the pedaling

motion there should be a slight bend in the knee. Keep your head in a neutral

position to minimize neck and upper back strain. Always try to pedal the bike

with a smooth and rhythmic motion.

INTRODUCTION

This Monitor provides different programs designed to

tailor to your fitness goals. Simply choose the

program you like, set the parameters and begin

exercising. The Monitor will display calories, time,

speed, pulse, and distance.

USING YOUR UPRIGHT BIKE

The bike provides a completely smooth and natural feeling that

minimizes the impact on your hips, knees and ankles while providing

a superior aerobic and muscle toning workout.

IMPORTANT

Always consult with your physician before

beginning any exercise program. If you are taking

medication which may affect your heart rate, a

physician’s advice is absolutely essential.
