BENEFITS / ADVANTAGES OF STATIONARY CYCLING: Stationary cycling provides an excellent aerobic workout while conditioning your lower body especially your quadriceps [front of thighs.] Cycling is a low- impact workout that creates less stress on your knees and joints. The exercise provides for targeted weight loss on the Buns, Thighs and lower abdomen. In addition the recumbent cycle has the added advantage of strengthening the Gluteus [rear] and Hamstring muscles [back of thighs].

Cycling is an excellent Cardio- vascular exercise and improves your stamina and while strengthening your legs gives you the benefit of targeting your calorie burn- out, thereby, reducing your weight where it matters most. Use Fat burn Program 3 to 6 for weight loss and 7 to 10 for endurance and strength. Program 11 & 12 are heart rate programs. Program 2 is a combination of endurance & weight loss.

The Elliptical Trainer has a large footpad offering you a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forwardmost position of the footpad increases your step height; your workout in this position is most effective in developing your quadriceps muscles. By placing your feet to the toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height and keeps the step pattern elliptical, thereby your workout will feel more like a ski glide or smooth run or walk.

IMPORTANT EXERCISE GUIDELINES: The American Heart association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise. Remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime habit. For aerobic exercise benefits it’s recommended that you exercise from between 24 to 32 minutes per session. If your goal is weight loss a longer exercise pattern at lower intensities has been found to be most effective. A workout of 48 minutes is recommended for best weight loss results. Always begin a program at low intensity level. Aerobic exercise does not have to be vigorous or painful to be beneficial. There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate and the second is by evaluating your perceived exertion level. If while exercising you are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, It means you are working too hard. If you cannot catch your breath it is time to slow down.

The benefits of exercise are --

• Weight loss / Weight maintenance.
• Improve body shape and tone / strengthen leg muscles.
• Increased energy level / Improved sleep patterns.
• Improved cardiovascular endurance and stress reduction.
• Positive thinking and hence a Positive attitude.
• For Strength Training it’s recommended that you use optimum weight where you can do 8 to 10 repetitions. Do 3 to 4 sets for each body part for example Chest press for chest; Lat pulls down for back and leg extension for quadriceps. The weight factor must be such that no discomfort or pain is felt while exercising. Increase weight gradually and it is recommended that 45 to 60 seconds break be taken between sets of exercise.

We wish all users good health and happiness. Start exercising it will improve your outlook on life and make you a healthier and happier individual. Stay motivated and have realistic goals. Monitor your progress every fortnight and always exercise within your target heart rate zone.
