SEAT ADJUSTMENT R2600iNetTV
While seated on the Bike, lift the
Seat Lever and slide the seat
forward or back. When the seat is
positioned properly, simply release
the Seat Lever to lock the seat into
position.
LUMBAR ADJUSTABLE SEAT R2600iNetTV
One of the principle reasons why people do not exercise is because it is
not comfortable for them. On the Semi-Recumbent Bike, the area that has
the largest impact on comfort is the seat. If your seat is comfortable, you
are more likely to finish your workouts and achieve your fitness goals. With
the Vision Fitness Lumbar Control System you can adjust the Lumbar
Support specifically for your needs. This will lead to a longer, more
comfortable workout and will help you achieve your goals earlier.
To adjust the Lumbar Support,
simply turn the control knob located
near the bottom of the backrest on
the seat. To increase the Lumbar
Support, turn the knob in a
clockwise direction. To decrease
support, turn the knob in a
counter-clockwise direction.

desired position. To lower the
seat, pull out the seat adjustment
knob and push down on the seat
to get to the desired position. Be
sure to turn the knob in a

prior to use.

COMMON QUESTIONS
TM
Q: Are the sounds my iNetTV Product makes normal?
A: Our fitness equipment is some of the quietest available because we use
belt drives and magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade European
bearings and top quality belts to minimize noise. However, because the
resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear some slight
mechanical noises from the drive train. Unlike older, louder technologies,
there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds.
These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are
normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to
rapidly spinning components. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts
will generate some noise, which will transmit through the casing and
frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a work-
out, and over time, because of thermal expansion of the parts. Keep in
mind, that while you work out, you’re sometimes exerting the equivalent
mechanical energy of a washing machine or dryer!
TM
Q: Why my iNetTV Product louder than the one at the store?
A: All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because
there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there
will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood
overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce
reverberation through the floor. And, finally, if a fitness product is placed
close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
Q: When should I be worried about a noise?
A: As long as the sounds are no louder than a normal conversational tone
TM
of voice, it is considered normal noise. If your iNetTV Product is louder
than this, you may want to call your service technician. Sometimes an
initial diagnosis can be made over the phone.
24
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Q: What kind of routine maintenance is required?
A: We use sealed bearings throughout, so lubrication is not needed. The
most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off
after each use.
Q: Will the magnets wear out over time?
A: No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their braking force
indefinitely in this application. One of the big advantages of a magnetic
brake is its long life, since there is no physical contact between the
flywheel and the magnet surface.
Q: How long will the drive belt last?
A: The computer modeling we had done indicated virtually thousands of
maintenance-free hours. These belts are now used in far more demanding
applications such as motorcycle drives.

DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM
WARM-UP
When you exercise, you need more oxygen to fuel your muscles. This
oxygen is carried to the muscles through blood. The increasing demands
of exercise will cause increased breathing rate, heart rate, blood flow and
blood temperature. As your blood temperature rises and more oxygen is
released, the temperature of your muscles will increase. This allows the
muscles to burn calories and create energy for exercise.
A warm-up activity should be a progressive aerobic activity that utilizes the
muscles you will be using during your workout. There is no set intensity with
which to warm-up. A typical warm-up will produce a small amount of
perspiration but not leave you feeling fatigued. Intensity and fitness level
will affect the duration of your warm-up, but five to 10 minutes is usually
recommended.
A gradual warm-up will do the following:
• Produce faster, more forceful muscle contractions.
• Increase your metabolic rate, so oxygen is delivered to the working
muscles more quickly.
• Lead to efficient calorie burning by increasing your core body
temperature.
• Prevent injuries by improving the elasticity of your muscles.
• Allow you to work out comfortably longer because your energy
systems are able to exercise, preventing the buildup of lactic acid
in the blood.
• Improve joint range of motion.
• Psychologically prepare you for higher intensities by increasing
your arousal and focus on exercise.

FLEXIBILITY
Before stretching, take a few minutes to warm-up, as stretching a cold
muscle can cause injury. When stretching, you should start slowly,
exhaling as you gently stretch the muscle. Try to hold each stretch for at
least 15 to 30 seconds. Don’t bounce when you stretch. Holding a stretch
is more effective and less of a risk for injury. Don’t strain or push a muscle
too far. If a stretch hurts, ease up.
SEATED TOE TOUCH
Sit on the floor with your legs
together and straight out in front of
you. Do not lock your knees.
Extend your fingers toward your
toes, exhaling as you go. Hold the
stretch for 15 to 30 seconds.
Return to the start position, and
repeat the stretch as necessary.
STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH
Using a wall or your Elliptical
Trainer to provide balance, grasp
your left ankle with your left hand
and hold to stretch. Your knee
should be pointing to the floor.
Hold the stretch for 15 to 30
seconds. Repeat with your right
leg and continue to alternate for
amount of desired repetitions.

STANDING CALF STRETCH
Standing about 3 feet from a wall,
take one step forward with your
left foot. Place your hands on the
wall in front of you. Slightly bend
your elbows and point your
shoulders, hips, and feet directly
toward the wall. Bend your left leg
slowly and use the movement to
control the amount of stretch in the
right calf. Your heels should stay
on the ground. Slowly bring your-
self back to the starting position
and switch legs. Alternate for the
number of desired repetitions.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
The American Council of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends the
following exercise guidelines for healthy aerobic activity:
Frequency: Exercise three to five days each week.
Warm-up: Warm-up five to 10 minutes before aerobic activity.
Duration: Maintain your exercise intensity for 20 to 60 minutes.
Cool-Down: Gradually decrease the intensity of your workout, then
stretch to cool down during the last five to 10 minutes.
NOTE: If weight loss is a major goal, participate in your aerobic activity at
least 30 minutes for five or more days each week.

EXERCISE INTENSITY
To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary
to exercise within a recommended intensity. The three ways to monitor
exercise intensity are Target Heart Rate, Perceived Exertion, and the Talk
Test.
TARGET HEART RATE
Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Rate
will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of
conditioning, and personal fitness goals. Exercise heart rate should range
from 50 - 90% of the predicted maximum heart rate for most healthy
adults. A guideline for Target Heart Rate follows:
50 - 60% Beginning Exercisers or Health Concerns
60 - 75% General Fitness or Weight Loss
75 - 90% Improve Aerobic Capacity or Athletic Performance
Use the chart below to determine your Target Heart Rate.

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is one of the easiest ways to monitor exer-
cise intensity. By becoming familiar with the RPE scale, you can
continually assess your level of intensity and insure a level of exertion that
is comfortable. An increase in exercise intensity is directly related to
elevation in exercise heart rate. Consequently, RPE can be used alone or
together with heart rate when monitoring exercise intensity.
RPE SCALE
0
Nothing at all
Very, very weak
Very weak
Weak
.5
1
2
3
Moderate
4
5
Somewhat strong
Strong
6
7
very strong
8
9
10
Very, very, strong
Maximal
The recommended RPE range for most people is between 3 (moderate)
and 5 (strong). The RPE should be independent of your pace; it is
dependent on the feelings caused by the exertion.
TALK TEST
The “Talk Test” is a quick and simple check of exercise intensity. If you have
trouble completing a sentence, you are working too hard. You should be
able to speak freely without gasping for air.

ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS
An important step in developing a long-term fitness program is to
determine your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your VISION
FITNESS Product to lose weight? Improve muscle tone? Relieve stress?
Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will
help you develop a more successful exercise program. Below are some
common exercise goals:
•Weight Loss & Maintenance
•Improved Body Shape & Tone
•Increased Energy Level
•Improved Cycling/Cross Sports Performance
•Improved Cardiovascular Endurance
•Stress Reduction
•Improved Sleep Patterns
•Improved muscular strength
If possible, try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms,
and then put your goals in writing. The more specific you can be, the
easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long-term, divide
them up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose
some of the immediate motivation benefits. Short-term goals are easier to
achieve. Your VISION FITNESS Product console provides you with
several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track
Distance, Calories or Time. Time is the most important and useful of test
functions.
