GETTING STARTED

Once your Recumbent Bike is assembled, make sure that your workout space has a solid, level surface with plenty of space around it. We recommend placing a mat under your bike to protect your flooring.

Correct Workout Position

When exercising, keep your back straight and your head in a neutral position to minimize neck and upper back strain. When pedaling do not lock out your knees, at the bottom of the pedaling motion there should be a slight bend in the knee. Always try to pedal the bike with a smooth and rhythmic motion.

USING YOUR RECUMBENT BIKE

The bike provides a completely smooth and natural feeling, that minimizes the impact on your hips, knees and ankles while providing a superior aerobic and muscle toning workout. The durable steel frame and transport wheels make the bike mobile and easy to use.

IMPORTANT:

•This bike is not recommended for children.

•Always make sure that you feel balanced and secure.

•Always use your bike on a clean, solid and level surface.
