The Proper Technique for Using the DeskCycle
Using the DeskCycle correctly will keep your upper body still, keep your chair from swiveling, and
prevent you from pushing the bike away from you. For best results, practice using the DeskCycle as
described in the steps below at the minimum resistance. Do this for a week before you increase the
resistance to 2. Then use it at 2 for at least a week before increasing to 3.
Step 1. Pedal Downward
The most important advice we can give you is to pedal downward. This will keep the bike in place.
If the bike moves away from you then you are not pedaling downward.
1. Begin pushing down on the pedal when the pedal arm is around the 1 o'clock position (just past the
highest pedal position).
2. Stop applying force to the pedal when it's at the lowest position.
3. You should pedal downward throughout this range as shown by the arrows in the picture.
4. Point your toes forward on the downward stroke. This keeps your heels from hitting the floor or the
rear leg.
Step 2. Keep Your Upper Body Still. Pedal with Your Legs, Not Your Body.
Keeping your upper body still makes it easy to focus on your work. Your body should not move from
side to side and your chair should not swivel when pedaling the bike.
•
Pedal with your legs, not your body
•
Don't rock from side to side
•
Pedal downward
Step 3. Keep Your Feet Level on the Downward Stroke
When pedaling downward, point your toes forward so that your feet are level to the ground. This will
prevent your heel from hitting the ground or the rear bar. See the picture below for reference.
Keep the Resistance Low (3 or less) When Working at Your Desk
Most people should not exceed the resistance setting of 3 when working at their desk.
Higher resistances can be distracting. However, some people do just fine on level 4. The key is to train
yourself using the proper technique at the lower resistances. See the previous section for details.
