USING YOUR X-BIKEINDOOR PERFORMANCE BIKE

WARNING

SAFETY FIRST – PLEASE REFER TO THE SAFETY INFORMATION ON PAGES 1 & 2 OF THIS MANUAL. THESE GUIDELINES ARE DIRECTED TO YOU AS THE OWNER OF THIS EXERCISE EQUIPMENT AND YOU SHOULD INSIST THAT ALL USERS FOLLOW THE SAME GUIDELINES. YOU SHOULD MAKE THIS MANUAL AVAILABLE TO ALL USERS.

General Exercise Guidelines

You should only undertake an exercise program using an X-Bike™ Indoor Cycle, under the supervision of a qualified X-Biking™ Instructor. Trixter, Its Distributors and Sales Agents do not accept responsibility for any injury, which may occur whilst riding unsupervised and without proper instruction.

Pedalling

1.Obtain a complete physical examination from your medical doctor and ensure to follow the recommended training profiles suitable for your current health status.

2.The speed and duration of your exercise program should always be subject to how yo u feel. Never permit peer pressure to exceed your personal judgement while exercising.

3.When working out for the first time, start out slowly for a minimum of five minutes. After your muscles have warmed up, gradually increase the pedalling rate and/or resistance to a speed that allows you to attain a comfortable training threshold. If you have access to a heart rate monitoring device, you can set your speed and resistanc e that allows you to attain your target heart rate zone.

Pumping the X-Bars

1.Once you are confident with the pedalling motion of the X-Bike, set the flywheel resistance to a comfortable setting and get into a standing position on the bike while continuing to pedal at a steady rate. To familiarise yourself with the pumping motion, set the handlebar resistance to minimum by twisting the handlebar resistance knob at the side of the X-Bars™ Handlebar System fully counter-clockwise and begin to “pump” the bars left and right in time with your pedalling rhythm in a similar fashion as if you were riding a bike. This natural cycling movement comes by ensuring that your right arm and left leg go down at the same time and your left arm and right leg go down at the same time.

2.Overweight individuals should be particularly cautious when using the equipment for the first time. Even though such individuals may not have histories of serious physical problems, they may perceive the exercise to be far less intense than it really is, resulting in the possibility of overexertion or injury.

3.Although all equipment manufactured by Trixter has been thoroughly inspected by the manufacturing facility prior to shipment, the purchaser is responsible for proper assembly and installation of the X-Bike indoor performance bike.
