Getting Comfortable

CHAPTER ONE: RIDING YOUR BIKE

The body weight setting does not affect the calorie expenditure calculation. Unlike treadmills or other weight-bearing exercises, calories burned during exercise biking does not change with different body weights.

Variations in human

exercise efficiency are another

potential source of error, with differences of plus or minus 10% common in the population.

Setting Your Weight

Adjust the seat so that when your leg is fully extended with your feet in the pedals, your knee is slightly bent.

While standing next to the bike, pull out the seat adjust knob and lower the seat to the lowest position. Next, get onto the bike with one leg fully extended in a pedal, supporting most of your weight. Grasp the horn of the seat and pull it up under you to a snug fit, letting the ratcheting mechanism lock the knob and pin in place.
