TIP 1. PEDAL DOWNWARD (MOST IMPORTANT!!!)

The most important advice we can give you is to pedal downward. This will keep the bike in place.

If the bike moves around, then you are not pedaling downward.

How to Pedal Correctly

1. Start 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.

TIP 2. START OUT SLOW; LISTEN TO YOUR BODY

Start out at the minimum resistance (level 1) and pedal the bike at 10 to 15mph. This will give you

time to get used to pedaling downward. For those who don't ride a bike regularly, it will give also you a

chance to get your muscles used to using the bike. Increase the resistance as you get used to the bike.

TIP 3. KEEP YOUR UPPER BODY STILL

Keeping your body still makes it easy to focus on your work. Your head should not move when pedaling

the bike.

•

Pedal with your legs, not your body.

•

Don't rock from side to side.

•

Pedaling downward makes it easier to keep your upper body still.

TIP 4. SIT UP STRAIGHT

Don't slouch. Sit up straight. Sitting up straight while using the DeskCycle will help strengthen your

core. It's also good for your spine.

TIP 5. 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. You can find these on

Amazon.

TIP 6. EXTEND YOUR LEGS

When the pedals are at their farthest point, your legs

should be bent at about 25 to 30 degrees from fully

extended. This is healthiest for your knees.
