MAINTAINING THE C520U BIKE
The Sports Art C520U requires little maintenance but regular cleaning is recommended to keep your bike at peak performance. Before your workout, use a dry cloth to clean the surface of the display.
NOTE: NEVER POUR LIQUIDS ON THE DISPLAY.
To clean plastic parts, use a mild detergent, and make sure the unit is completely dry before operating it.
It is recommended that you keep all liquids away from the unit during operation. Spillage of liquids onto or into the machine will void the warranty.
GUIDELINES FOR EXERCISE
How long should I exercise?
The duration of your exercise session is dependent on your fitness level. In general, it is recommended that you maintain your heart rate in the training zone for at least ten minutes to realize an aerobic benefit. As your fitness level increases, you will be able to maintain your heart rate in the training zone for longer periods: usually between 20 and 30 minutes.
When starting your workout, use the first several minutes to warm up, then slowly increase your workload to bring your heart rate into your specific training zone. At the end of your workout, gradually decrease your workload and exercise lightly as a "cool down".
How often should I exercise?
To achieve the greatest benefits, aerobic exercises should be performed three to five times per week. It is important to allow sufficient time, at least 24 hours, for your body to recover after exercise.
