Getting the Most From CHR

CHAPTER TWO: RIDING YOUR BIKE

1.Exercise with smooth body motions. Avoid excessive body motion, especially in your arms and upper body.

2.Breathe smoothly and regularly, and avoid talking. (Talking will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of 5 to 10 bpm.)

3.Grip the pads lightly, not tightly.

4.Make sure your hands are clean, free of both dirt and hand lotions.

When using a Heart Rate Control (HRC) workout or the Fitness Test, it is best to use chest strap monitoring. These workouts work best with the extra accuracy gained from a chest-contact heart rate monitoring system.

A wall transformer external power option is available which gives the CS 8.0 Bike some additional capabilities:

•The bike’s display is always lit in Attract Mode (see Chapter 13). This can make the bike more friendly and interesting to prospective riders.

•Test Mode diagnostics are more versatile (see Chapter 15).

•The bike’s minimum workload is lower, which is required by the Medical and Ergometer modes (see Chapter 11) and recommended for the Fitness Test (see Chapter 10).
