manual abstract


Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise. HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST? The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. Belts are now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives. CAN I MOVE THE BIKE EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED? Your Horizon Fitness recumbent bike has a pair of transport wheels built into the front foot. It is easy to move your recumbent bike by rolling it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your Horizon Fitness recumbent bike in a comfortable and inviting room. Your recumbent bike is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their recumbent bikes facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your recumbent bike in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the recumbent bike should be in a attractive setting. 24ELITESERIES EXERCISE Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program. HOW OFTEN? The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise. Whether it’s 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime habit. Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if they set aside a specific time of day to exercise. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in the morning before your shower, during lunch hour or while watching the evening news. What’s more important is that it’s a time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a time when you won’t be interrupted. If you are to be successful with your fitness program, you have to make it a priority in your life. So decide on a time, pull out your day planner and pencil in your exercise times for the next month! HOW LONG? For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between 24 and 32 minutes per session. But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise times. If you’ve been sedentary during the past year, it may be a good idea to keep your exercise times to as little as five minutes initially. Your body will need time to adjust to the new activity. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has been found to be most effective. A workout time of 48 minutes or more is recommended for best weight loss results. 25ELITESERIES ROUTINE WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED? We use sealed bearings throughout our bikes so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the bike after each use. HOW DO I CLEAN MY HORIZON FITNESS SEMI-RECUMBENT BIKE? Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts. Cleanliness of your Horizon Fitness recumbent bike and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, Horizon Fitness recommends that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed. AFTER EACH USE (DAILY) Turn off the recumbent bike with the on/off switch, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. (Elite 3.0R Only) WARNING WARNING! To remove power from the recumbent bike, the power cord must be disconnected from the wall outlet. • Never use solvents, as they can cause damage to the recumbent bike. • Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, contact Horizon Fitness. • Make sure the power cord is not underneath the recumbent bike or in any other area where it can become pinched or cut. EVERY WEEK Clean underneath the recumbent bike, following these steps: • Turn off the recumbent bike with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet. (Elite 3.0R Only) • Move the recumbent bike to a remote location. • Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated underneath the recumbent bike. • Return the recumbent bike to its previous position. EVERY MONTH • Inspect all assembly bolts of the machine for proper tightness. 26ELITESERIES HOW HARD? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Horizon Fitness bike to prepare for a 5K race, you will probably work out at a higher intensity your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not have to be painful to be beneficial! ways to measure your exercise intensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate (see page 20), and the second is by evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!). Note: Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program. PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL The second and simpler way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your percei...
