4.2 WORKOUT OVERVIEW CONTINUED
WORKOUT TIPS
1. Matrix Fitness strongly recommends seeing your physician for a
complete physical examination before beginning any fitness program.
Know your physician's recommended heart rate target zone. If at any
time while exercising, you experience faintness, dizziness, pain, or
shortness of breath, you must stop immediately.
2. It is highly recommended that you always incorporate the warm up
and cool down period into your workout. Warm up brings the heart
rate into the lower end of the target zone and increases respiration and
blood flow to working muscles. Cool down takes time for a user's heart
rate to return to resting state after vigorous exercise and reduces the
amount of lactic acid in muscle tissue.
PAUSE OPTION
On the Matrix R1x Bike, the users pedaling generates the power to
initialize and display information on the console. A minimum of 30
RPMs are required to start and maintain enough power to keep the
console functional. If the minimum RPM is not maintained, the console
will begin to shut down. The bike is able to extend the time to show a
display on the console if the bike is equipped with an optional battery.
The bike saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode
whenever PEDAL FASTER appears on the display.
SYMPTOMS OF A LOW BATTERY
If the bike has not been used for an extended period of time, the battery
may require recharging. Symptoms of a low battery include:
1) A "LOW BATTERY" message will appear on the display.
2) Backlighting on the LCD display will be disabled.
3) No one has used the bike for an extended period of time.
If the battery must be recharged, use the optional power adaptor to
charge the unit. The charger should be connected to the bike for a
minimum of eight hours to ensure a thorough charge. If "LOW BATTERY"
still appears on the display after full charging, the battery could be
expired and should be replaced.
