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.

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

Riders are most efficient if they place the ball of their foot in the center of the pedal.

Other riders are more comfortable if the arch of their foot is against

the pedal. Riders are encouraged to be as efficient as possible, but use

your own

judgment in the comfort/efficiency tradeoff.
