Operations What to Wear Wear rubber-soled athletic shoes. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely. How Often Should You Exercise Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine's computer for reference purposes only. • 3 times a week for 30 minutes each day. • Schedule workouts in advance. Try to work out even when you do not want to. Seat Adjustment Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. 1. With a Pedal in the forward position, center the ball of your foot over the center of it. Your leg should be bent slightly at the knee. 2. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the Pedal, move the seat down. If your leg is bent too much, move the seat up. Step off the bike before you adjust the seat. 3. Loosen and pull the adjustment knob on the seat post. Adjust the seat to the desired height. Release the adjustment knob to engage the locking pin. Be sure that the pin is fully engaged and fully tighten the knob. 4. To move the seat closer to, or away from the console, loosen the seat adjustment knob. Slide the seat to the desired position and fully tighten the knob. 26
