4. Back Stretch
INTRODUCTION
Stand with your legs shoulder length apart and your knees
slightly bent. Bend forward from your waist with your arms
extending loosely in front of your body. Gently bend from
the waist flexing your body as far forward as it will go.
CONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING YOUR
EDGE 475u DUAL-ACTION UPRIGHT BIKE
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Straighten up and repeat.
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.
5. Standing Hamstrings Stretch
Stand with your legs hip-width apart. Extend one leg out in
front of you and keep that foot flat against the ground. With
your hands resting lightly on your thighs, bend your back leg
and lean forward slightly from your hips until you feel a stretch

EDGE 475 HARDWARE KIT
WARM UP & COOL DOWN STRETCHES
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 to12 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.
1. Quadriceps Stretch
Stand close to a wall, chair or other solid object. Use one hand
to assist your balance. Bend the opposite knee and lift your heel
towards your buttocks. Reach back and grasp the top of your
foot with the same side hand. Keeping your inner thighs close
together, slowly pull your foot towards your buttocks until you
feel a gentle stretch in the front of your thigh.You do not have
to touch your buttocks with your heel. Stop pulling when you
feel the stretch. Keep your kneecap pointing straight down and
keep your knees close together. (Do not let the lifted knee swing
outward.)
Hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the other leg.
2. Calf and Achilles Stretch
Stand approximately one arms length away from a wall or chair
with your feet hip-width apart. Keeping your toes pointed for-
ward, move one leg in close to the chair while extending the
other leg behind you. Bending the leg closest to the chair and
keeping the other leg straight, place your hands on the chair.
Keep the heel of the back leg on the ground and move your
hips forward. Slowly lean forward from the ankle, keeping your
back leg straight until you feel a stretch in your calf muscles.
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite leg.
3. Overhead/Triceps Stretch
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly
bent. Lift one arm overhead and bend your elbow, reaching
down behind your head with your hand toward the opposite
shoulder blade. Walk your fingertips down your back as far as
you can. Hold this position. Reach up with your opposite hand
and grasp your flexed elbow. Gently assist the stretch by pulling
on the elbow.
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite arm.

cardiovascular effect. Note: Although 70% was
used in this example, the heart rate range needed
to achieve results falls between 60% and 85% of
your maximum heart rate.
CLOTHING
STEP 3 – Installing the Monitor Tube
All exercise clothing should be loose-fitting to
permit freedom of movement, and should make
the wearer feel comfortable and self-assured.
a) Attach ipod Holder to the two top holes on the Monitor
Tube using two Phillips Bolts.
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.
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) Insert the Top Cover onto the bottom end of
the Monitor Tube.
c) Connect the Monitor Tube Wire to the
Main Frame Wire.
We recommend wearing a workout shoe with a
rubberized sole unless instructed otherwise.
d) Place the Monitor Tube onto the
Front Tube located on the Main Frame.
ipod holder
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.
TIPS TO KEEP YOU GOING
e) Lift up the Top Cover and align the
holes in the Monitor Tube with the
holes in the Main Frame.
1) Adopt a specific plan and write it down.

how to determine and measure your heart rate.
described previously. Each workout should begin
with a warm up and end with a cool down. As a
general rule, space your workouts throughout
the week and avoid consecutive days of
hard exercise.
STEP 4 – Installing the Handlebar Assemblies
a) Lubricate the two Axles that are horizontal on the Monitor Tube and slide Spacer and a
Wavy Washer to each Axle.
Note: Spacer needs to fit flat with curved side facing towards the Monitor Tube.
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.
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.
b) Take the Left Connecting Arm and slide it over the Horizontal Axle located near the bottom on the
Main Frame.
c) Secure with an Allen Bolt (with a Large Washer) to secure the Left Handlebar Assembly.
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.
d) Securely fasten the Connecting Arm Lock onto the Left Connecting Arm. Make sure the
Connecting Arm Lock is securely attached by lightly shaking the Connecting Arm.
e) Take the Right Connecting Arm and slide it over the Horizontal Axle located near the
bottom on the Main Frame.
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.
f) Secure with an Allen Bolt (with a Large Washer) to secure the Right Handlebar Assembly.
g) Securely fasten the Connecting Arm Lock onto the Right Connecting Arm. Make sure the
Connecting Arm Lock is securely attached.
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.
right
handlebar
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, elliptical exercise,
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.

MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE
(see chart on page 19)
main
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.
frame
AEROBIC EXERCISE:
HOW MUCH? HOW OFTEN?
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.

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
individual would need to keep their heart rate
at or above 126 beats per minute to get a

STEP 5 – Attaching the Foot Pedals, Monitor and AC Adapter
Note: Pedals are marked Right and Left.
IMPORTANT
Please review this section before you begin exercising.
a) To attach Left Foot Pedal turn the Pedal Bolt counter-clockwise until snug with the wrench
provided. DO NOT turn clockwise. Doing so will strip the threads.
b) To attach Right Foot Pedal turn the Pedal Bolt clockwise until snug with the wrench provided.
DO NOT turn counter-clockwise. Doing so will strip the threads.
KNOWING THE BASICS
IMPORTANT:
If you are over 35 and have been inactive
for several years, you should consult your
physician, who may or may not recommend
a graded exercise test.
c) Remove the Bolts located in the back of the Monitor.
d) Connect the Monitor Wire to the Monitor Tube Wire.
Physical fitness is most easily understood by
examining its components, or "parts".
There is widespread agreement that these
five components comprise the basics of
physical training:
e) Connect the Monitor Pulse Wires
to the Monitor Tube Pulse Wires.
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.

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 contrac-
tions or to continue applying force against a fixed
object. Push-ups are often used to test endurance
of arm and shoulder muscles.

FLEXIBILITY – the ability to move joints and use
muscles through their full range of motion. The sit-
and-reach test is a good measure of flexibility of
the lower back and backs of the upper legs.
• Family history of early stroke or
heart attack deaths
• Frequent dizzy spells
• Extreme breathlessness after mild exertion
• Arthritis or other bone problems
BODY COMPOSITION – often considered a com-
ponent 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 23.
• Severe muscular, ligament or
tendon problems

• Other known or suspected disease
• If you experience any pain or tightness
in your chest, an irregular heartbeat or
shortness of breath, stop exercising
immediately. Consult your physician
before continuing.

A COMPLETE EXERCISE PROGRAM
• Pregnant
• 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.

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
Correct Workout Position
Do not plug AC Adapter into wall until
monitor is completely assembled.
When exercising, keep your back straight and your head in a neutral position to minimize neck and upper
back strain. When pedaling do not lock out your knees, at the bottom of the pedaling motion there should
be a slight bend in the knee. 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, RPM, time, speed, wattage, pulse,
heart rate 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. The durable steel frame and
transport wheels make the bike mobile and easy to use.
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.
