Instructions:
Recumbents provide all the benefits of regular bikes, plus they work the gluteal and hamstring
muscles more than traditional bikes. They also place less strain on the knees and are suitable for
people with back problems.
(1) Adjust the seat correctly.Adjust the seat so when
the pedal is at the farthest point in front of you, your leg is just slightly bent.
(2) Get to know your display panel. Pay attention to the display
panel and it's instructions. Notice how many levels the bike has. Some bikes offer 12 while others offer 40. Also pay
attention to the RPM(Revolutions per minute) display. Most bikes will flash the rpms it wants you
to maintain for that selected level. Any questions, be sure to ask a staff member for some guidance.
(3) Adjust the pedal straps Adjust the pedal straps so your feet
feel snug. Don't adjust them too tight.
Next, start pedaling with your hands placed on the handles at the sides of the seat or
in front of you on the display panel. Press the pedals forward and downward
with the ball of your foot and your heels as you pedal downward. Pull back with the top of
your foot on the upstroke.
