Using the DeskCycle at Your Desk (continued)
Ergonomic Considerations
1. Keep your Back Supported
If your chair seat is too deep, you may need to sit towards the front of your chair in order to use the
bike. In this case you can place a lumbar cushion behind your back for support.
2. Sit up Straight
Don't slouch. Sitting up straight while using the DeskCycle will help strengthen your core. It's also
good for your spine.
If Your Knees Hit the Under Side of Your Desk
The DeskCycle-2 has the lowest pedal height (only 9 inches) of all mini exercise bikes. Because of this
it can work at a desk as short as 27 inches by a person who is 5 foot 10 inches or shorter. If you are
taller than this, you will likely need a taller desk. We don't recommend it for desks shorter than 27
inches.
Below are some things that will lower your knees:
•
Lower your chair. This can lower your knees by several inches. In most cases this is all you need to
do. Some chairs go as low as 15 inches.
•
Point your toes upward on the upward pedal stroke. Then point your toes forward on the downward
pedal stroke. When your toes are pointing upward, your knees will be lower by an inch or two. This
technique will exercise your calve muscles as well.
•
Move the bike farther away from you and extend your legs more. Extending your legs lowers your
knees. You may not be able to do this if your desk is not very deep underneath.

Getting Cardio Workout with the DeskCycle
The following steps demonstrate how to do this.
1. Set the pedal resistance to 4.
2. Sit in a taller chair so that you pedal downward on the pedals.
3. Pedal the bike at a speed of at least 30 mph.
Within a few minutes your legs will burn and your heart rate will
quickly elevate. Most people won't be able to maintain 30 mph for
more than a few minutes.
Note, this is for demonstration purposes only!
