fuel is directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake
capacity. Aerobic exercise should be above all
pleasant. You should work up a light sweat but
you should not get out of breath during the
workout.
You should exercise at least three times a
week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic
fitness level. Maintaining this level requires
a few exercise sessions each week. Once the
basic condition has been reached, it is easily
improved, simply by increasing the number
of exercise sessions. You should start slowly
at a low pedaling speed and low resistance,
because for an overweight person strenuous
exercise may subject the heart and circulatory
system to excessive strain. As fitness improves,
resistance and pedaling speed can be increased
gradually.

No matter what your goal, you'll get the best
results by training at the right level of effort,
and the best measure is your own heart rate.

Heart rate is measured from the hands using
the sensors located on the handlebars. The
sensors measure electric impulses, which
are formed when a person's heart beats.
Measurement is started by touching both
handlebar sensors simultaneously. To ensure
reliable heart rate measurement, skin must be
slightly moist and skin contact with sensors
must be continuous. If skin is too dry or too
wet, the heart rate measurement operation
from the hands is less reliable. Try to keep your
upper body and palms relaxed and still.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
The most reliable heart rate measurement is
achieved with a telemetric device, in which the
electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the
chest transmit the pulses from the heart to the
console by means of an electromagnetic field.
If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please
note!
consult a physician before using a wireless
heart rate monitor.
If you want to measure your heart rate this way
during your workout, moisten the grooved
electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva
or water. Fasten the transmitter just below
the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough
so that the electrodes remain in contact with
the skin while exercising, but not so tight that
normal breathing is prevented. If you wear
the transmitter and belt over a light shirt,

moisten the shirt slightly at the points where
the electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter
automatically transmits the heart rate reading
to the console up to a distance of about 1 m.
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the
heart-rate reading will not appear on the
display. If the electrodes are dry, they must be
moistened again. Allow the electrodes warm
up properly to ensure accurate heart rate
measurement. If there are several telemetric
heart rate measurement devices next to each
other, the distance between them should be
at least 1.5 m. Similarly, if there is only one
receiver and several transmitters in use, only
one person with a transmitter should be within
transmission range. The transmitter is switched
to an active state only when it is being used
for measurement. Sweat and other moisture
can, however, keep the transmitter in an active
state and waste battery energy. Therefore it is
important to dry the electrodes carefully after
use.
When selecting training attire, please note
that some fibres used in clothes (e.g. polyester,
polyamide) create static electricity, which may
prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Please
note that a mobile phone, television and other
electrical appliances form an electromagnetic
field around them, which will cause problems
in heart rate measurement.
First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where
the rate doesn't increase with added effort.
If you don't know your maximum heart rate,
please use the following formula as a guide:
220 - AGE
These are average values and the maximum
varies from person to person. The maximum
heart-rate diminishes on average by one point
per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a
doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for
you.
We have defined three different heart-rate
zones to help you with targeted training.

Also suitable for weight-watchers,
convalescents and those who haven't exercised
for a long time. Three sessions a week of at
least a half-hour each is recommended. Regular
exercise considerably improves beginners'
respiratory and circulatory performance and
you will quickly feel your improvement.
