ENGLISH
The exercise bike provides an excellent kind of cardio-training activity. Training on this equipment is designed to increase your cardio-vascular
capacity. On this principle, you improve your physical condition, your endurance and you burn calories (an indispensable activity for weight
loss in association with dieting).
Finally, the exercise bike allows you to tone the muscles in the legs and buttocks.
The muscles in the calves and the lower abdominals are also worked.
PARTS OF THE BODY WORKED
When just starting out, begin by training over several days with a slight resistance and pedalling speed, without forcing, and taking rest breaks as
needed. Then progressively increase the frequency or duration of your exercise sessions.
Weight Maintenance/Warm-up:
progressive effort starting at 10
minutes.
For a workout designed either to keep you
in shape or for re-education purposes, you
may train every day for around ten minutes.
This type of exercise is designed to stimulate
your muscles and joints or may be used as
a warm-up to additional physical activity.
To increase the muscle tone of the legs,
select a higher resistance and lengthen the
exercise period.
Of course, you may vary the pedalling resis-
tance throughout your exercise session.
Aerobic fitness workout: moderate
effort for a fairly long period (35
min to 1 hour).
If you wish to lose weight, this type of exer-
cise, combined with a diet, is the only way
to increase the quantity of energy consumed
by the organism. Nevertheless, it is point-
less to push yourself beyond your limits. It is
the regularity of training that will allow you
to obtain the best results.
Select a fairly weak pedalling resistance
and exercise at your own rhythm, but at
least for a period of 30 minutes. This exer-
cise should raise a slight sweat but should
under no circumstances leave you breath-
less. It’s the duration of the exercise, at a
slow rhythm, that will require your organism
to draw its energy from your fat reserves
provided that you pedal for more than thirty
minutes, a minimum of three times a week.
Aerobic training for endurance: sus-
tained effort for 20 to 40 minutes.
This type of training targets significant
reinforcement of the cardiac muscle and
improved respiratory activity.
The resistance and/or speed of pedalling
is increased so as to increase respiration
during the exercise. The effort here is
more sustained than for the maintenance
workout.
As your training progresses, you will be
able to sustain the effort for longer periods,
at a faster rate or with a higher degree of
resistance. You may train a minimum of
three times a week for this type of training.
Training at a faster rate (anaerobic workout
and workout in the red zone) is reserved
for athletes and requires adequate prepa-
ration.
After each training session, take several
minutes to pedal with diminishing speed
and resistance in order to cool down and
progressively bring the body to a state of
rest.
