CORRECT BODY POSITION
The Recumbent Ergometer E6R is designed to comfortably distribute your weight evenly over your buttocks and lumbar region of your lower back. Your legs are also positioned closer to the level of your heart, allowing a less strenuous and more efficient cardiovascular workout. To ensure proper positioning please follow the recommended guidelines: the distance between the seat and
the pedals should be adjusted so that your knee remains slightly bent when your leg is extended to the furthest pedaling point forward. To adjust the distance lift the lever located below the seat.
Place first your feet on the pedals, then release the seat and push it to the right distance. Release the lever to lock the seat. Make always sure the seat is locked.

When you’ve not exercised for a long time, you should have your condition checked and consult a doctor, if you are over 40, your physical condition is poor, you suffer from a chronic illness or have health problems, or you have injuries
to or problems in your muscles. For endurance exercising, it’s good to exercise at least 3 times a week, but remember for your health that once a week is better than not at all. The effects of exercising will show after just a few weeks. If you’re very unfit, start with a 20 minute workout. Once your condition improves, you can train for
EXERCISE LEVEL
The best training to improve your general fitness is properly efficient, not too heavy and not too easy. It’s good to sweat while working out, but important still to be able to talk comfortably. This type of exercise is called aerobic or endurance exercise and your body produces the required energy by burning body fat with the aid of oxygen. This in turn leads to a reduction in fat tissue. No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is your own heart rate. First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t know your maximum heart rate, please use the following formula as a guide:
208 - 0,7X AGE
This is an average value and the maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to one of the risk groups mentioned earlier, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you. We have defined three different heart rate zones to help you with targeted training.
