The Proper Technique for Using Under-Desk Bikes

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 on the pedal when the pedal arm is

around the 2 o'clock position. See the image to the

right.

2. Pedal downward as the arrow indicates.

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 to

the right 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 sections for details.
