Information about training
Using your indoor bike will provide you with several benefits, it will improve your physical
fitness, tone up your muscles, and, together with a calorie-controlled diet, it will help you
lose weight.
Muscle toning
To tone up your muscles while on your exercise bike, you will need to set the resistance level
quite high. This will put more strain on your leg muscles, and you may not be able to train for
as long as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness, you need to change
your training programme. You should train normally during the warmup and cool down
phases, but you should increase the resistance level towards the end of the exercise phase,
in order to make your legs work harder. You will have to reduce your speed to keep your heart
rate in the target zone, showed later on.
Weight loss
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer your work
out, the more calories you will burn. The process is the same one as when you are trying to
improve your fitness.
Use
The tension control knob allows you to alter the resistance level of the pedals. A high
resistance makes it more difficult to pedal, while a low resistance makes it easier. For best
results, set the tension while the bike is in use.
Warm up phase
This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body. It will reduce the risk of cramp and
muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown below. Each stretch
should be held for approximately 30 seconds; do not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch,
if it hurts, stop.
Exercising phase
- This is the stage where you have to put effort into. After regular use, the muscles in your
legs will become more flexible. Work out at your own pace, but it is very important to
maintain a steady tempo throughout.
- This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes, although most people start
at about 15-20 minutes.
Cool down phase
This stage lets your muscles and cardio-vascular system rest. It consists of a series of warm
up exercises, e.g., reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching
exercises should now be repeated; remember not to force or jerk your muscles. As you get
