• Before exercising, adjust the saddle, its height, and the distance of the
handlebars. You should be comfortable. The height of the saddle should be
about the height of your hips. Your leg should not be fully extended, even when
the pedal is at its lowest position. Your arms should be slightly bent when holding
the handlebars. When training, try to keep your back straight (even if you are
slightly bent over), keeping your head in extension of your spine.
Tip: Keep your gaze directed approximately two metres in front of the exercise
bike, do not look down at your feet for long periods of time. For an effective and
safe workout, secure your foot to the pedals with a strap.
By exercising on the exercise bike, you are strengthening mainly the thigh, calf
and buttock muscles. With proper and regular exercise, the cardiovascular
system is also strengthened.
Start training with a moderate load and at a slower pace. It is equally important
to end the training in this way. You can pedal the exercise bike sitting or standing.
Pedal smoothly and rhythmically. It is also important to breathe correctly,
regularly, and deeply (into the abdomen).

you are exercising on the machine. Other concurrent activities may distract your
