USE
If you are just starting out, begin by exercising for several days at a low speed, without pushing yourself and taking breaks if necessary.
Gradually increase the number or duration of the sessions. Keep your back straight during your workout. During your workout, remember
to ventilate the room in which you are using the bike.
Keep fit/Warm-up: Gradual effort starting from 10 minutes
For keeping fit and staying in shape or undertaking physiotherapy, you must exercise everyday for around
ten minutes. This type of exercise will wake up your muscles and joints, or it can be used as a warm-up
before another type of physical activity.
To improve leg toning, choose a stronger resistance and increase exercise time. Evidently you can vary
pedalling resistance throughout your workout.
Aerobic exercise for getting into shape: Moderate effort for a relatively long time (35 minutes to
1 hour)
If you wish to lose weight, this type of exercise, combined with a diet, is the only way to increase the
amount of energy your body consumes. To do this, there is no point pushing past your limit. Regular
training gets the best results. Choose a low pedalling resistance and exercise to your own pace but for at
least 30 minutes. This exercise should produce a slight sweat, but should in no circumstances leave you
breathless. You need to exercise more than 30 minutes a session, three times a week, for your body to
draw on fat reserves.
Aerobic training for endurance: Sustained effort for 20 to 40 minutes
This type of training aims to strengthen the heart muscles significantly and improve respiratory
functioning. Pedalling resistance and/or speed is increased which then increases breathing during
exercise. This type of exercise is more sustained than when you are working out to get into shape. As you
progress, you can exercise for longer and using faster paces. You can do this type of workout at least three
times a week. Training at a faster pace (anaerobic exercise and exercise in the red zone) is for athletes
only and requires suitable preparation. After each workout, set aside several minutes to cool down and
let your body wind by gradually reducing pedalling speed.
Cool down:
Corresponds to light intensity training, to gradually wind down. Cool-down ensures a return to «normal» for the cardiovascular and
respiratory system, blood flow and muscles (which eliminates side-effects, muscle pain in the form of cramps and stiffness, caused
by accumulation of lactic acid).
Stretching:
You should stretch after cooling down. Stretching after exercise reduces muscle stiffness caused by the accumulation of lactic acid,
and «stimulates» blood circulation.
