Introduction
Research shows that those who journal their fitness routines or workouts, on average, achieve
greater success than those who do not. Because your new bike is equipped with Horizon’s exclusive
eTRAK™ Performance Tracker, you’ve taken an important step towards achieving your fitness goals.
Congratulations!
ASSEMBLY
eTRAK™ is an innovative new software, integrated into your bike console, that will allow you to track
your fitness progress over time, without the need for paper journals or logs. eTRAK™ allows you to
easily compare your current workout to your last, average or lifetime workout totals. With quick access to
feedback like duration of workout or calories burned during previous workouts, you’ll be able to quickly
and easily see the progress you’ve made. Read further to learn about how eTRAK™ can help motivate
you to enhance your performance.

Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your
heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When
gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure.
Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse
handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

C O N D I T I O N I N G G UIDELINES
Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program.
IMPORTANT
PRECAUTIONS
HOW OFTEN? (Frequency of Workouts)
ASSEMBLY
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 breakfast, 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. 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? (Duration of Workouts)
BEFORE
YOU BEGIN
For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between 24 and 60 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.
HOW HARD? (Intensity of Workouts)
BIKE
OPERATION
How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your machine to prepare for a 5K workout,
you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if 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! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate
using the grip pulse handlebars and the second is by evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler
than it sounds!).

INTRODUCTION
PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL
IMPORTANT
PRECAUTIONS
A simple way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived exertion level. While exercising, if you
are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb
is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it’s time to slow down.
Always be aware of these warning signs of overexertion.

BEATS PER MINUTE
Target Heart Rate Zone tells you
the number of times per minute
your heart needs to beat to
achieve a desired workout effect.
It is represented as a percentage
of the maximum number of times
your heart can beat per minute.
Target Zone will vary for each
individual, depending on age,
current level of conditioning,
and personal fitness goals. The
American Heart Association
recommends working-out at a
Target Heart Rate Zone of between
60% and 75% of your maximum
heart rate. A beginner will want to
workout in the 60% range while
a more experienced exerciser will
want to workout in the 70-75%
range. See chart for reference.

TIPS
STRETCHING
IMPORTANT
PRECAUTIONS
STRETCH FIRST
Before using your product, it is best to take a few minutes to do a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching
prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these
stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce while doing
these stretches.
ASSEMBLY
1. STANDING CALF MUSCLE STRETCH
BEFORE
YOU BEGIN
Stand near a wall with the toes of your left foot about 18" from the wall, and
the right foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against
the wall with your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a
count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching.
Repeat on the other side.
2. STANDING QUADRICEP STRETCH
BIKE
OPERATION
Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your right ankle
with your right hand and hold your foot against the back
of your thigh for 15 seconds. Repeat with your left ankle
and hand.

TIPS
THE IMPORTANCE OF A WARM-UP & COOL DOWN
IMPORTANT
PRECAUTIONS
WARM UP
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm-up will limber your
muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Make sure that you warm-up on your product at a
slow pace. The warm up should gradually bring your heart rate into your Target Heart Rate Zone.
COOL DOWN
BEFORE
YOU BEGIN
ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS
BIKE
OPERATION
An important step in developing a long-term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary
goal for exercising to lose weight? Improve muscle? Reduce stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule?
Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program. Below are some
common exercise goals:
CONDITIONING
GUIDELINES
• Weight Loss - lower intensity, longer duration workouts
• Improve Body Shape and Tone - interval workouts, alternate between hi and low intensities
• Increased Energy Level - more frequent daily workouts
• Improved Sports Performance - high intensity workouts
• Improved Cardiovascular Endurance - moderate intensity, longer duration workouts
TROUBLESHOOTING
& MAINTENANCE
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in writing.
The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long term, divide
them up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation
benefits. Short-term goals are easier to achieve. Your console provides you with several readouts that can
be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time.
KEEPING AN EXERCISE DIARY
To make your personal exercise log book, photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets, which are located
on the following pages, or you can print them off of your computer by going to:
www.horizonfitness.com/guides/weeklylog.pdf
www.horizonfitness.com/guides/monthlylog.pdf
As your fitness improves, you can look back and see how far you’ve come!

WARRANTY
TIPS
ASSEMBLY
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period of 3-5 minutes allows your heart to readjust to the
decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down period consists of a very slow pace to allow your heart
rate to lower. After the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises listed above to loosen and relax your
muscles.

INTRODUCTION
COMMON P R O D U C T Q U E S T I O N S
ARE THE SOUNDS MY BIKE MAKES NORMAL?
ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT
PRECAUTIONS
Our bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic
resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance
system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder
technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our bikes. These
mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of
significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will
generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds
to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.
WHY IS THE BIKE I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
BEFORE
YOU BEGIN
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background
noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood
overlay floor. 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?
