Monitoring Your Heart Rate
To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is important to work within your target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association
(AHA) defines this target as 60% -75% percent of the Maximum Heart Rate.
The Maximum Heart Rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting the user’s age
from 220.
The Maximum Heart Rate and aerobic capacity naturally decreases as the user ages.
This may vary from one person to another, but use this number to find your approximate effective target zone. For example, the Maximum Heart Rate for an average 40
year-old is 180 bpm. The target heart rate zone is 60%-75% of 180 or 108-135 bpm.
See the Fitness Safety section on page 28.
Before beginning a workout, check the normal resting heart rate. The user can place
their fingers lightly against the neck or wrist over the main artery. After finding the
pulse, count the number of beats in 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by six
to determine your pulse rate per minute. It is recommend to take a heart rate measurement at rest, after warming up, during the workout and two minutes into cooling
down after the workout, to accurately track progress as it relates to better fitness.
During your first several months of exercising, the AHA recommends aiming for the
lower part of the target heart rate zone - 60%, then gradually progressing up to 75%.
According to the AHA, exercising above 75% of the Maximum Heart Rate may be too
strenuous unless the user is in top physical condition. Exercising below 60% of the
maximum will result in minimal cardiovascular conditioning.
Check your pulse recovery rate
If your pulse is over 100 bpm five minutes after stopping exercising, or if it’s higher
than normal the morning after exercising, the user’s exertion may have been too
strenuous for their current fitness level. Rest and reduce the intensity next time.
27
Monitoring Your Heart Rate
Fitness Safety
The Heart Rate chart indicates average rate zones for different ages. A variety of different factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other conditions) can affect the target heart rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or
health care professional can help you determine the exercise intensity that is appropriate for your age and condition.
(MHR) = Maximum Heart Rate
(THR) = Target Heart Rate
220 - Age = Maximum Heart Rate (MHZ)
MHZ x .60 = 60% of your Maximum Heart Rate.
MHZ x .75 = 75% of your Maximum Heart Rate.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your calculations will be as follows:
220 - 30 = 190
190 x .60 = 114 (Low End or 60% of MHZ)
190 x .75 = 142 (High End or 75% of MHZ)
30 Year-Old (THR) Target Heart Rate would be 114-142

the use of a Heart Rate Chest Strap. A Heart Rate Chest Strap can be purchased
seperately. In all Heart Rate Control programs, the console only accepts the heart
rate signal from the chest strap transmitter while the pulse grip heart rate function is
disabled. The requirement to wear the chest strap is due to the superior accuracy of
a chest strap transmitter compared to the pulse grip sensors.
It is suggested for the Chest Strap Transmitter that you position the transmitter as
close to your heart as possible, against the skin, 1-2 inches below the pectoral muscles. For best results, moisten the back of the transmitter for better contact.
If no Heart Rate signal is detected for 10 seconds, the screen will show “0” Heart
Rate
HR Chest Strap for Endurance® models
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS FOR CHEST STRAP
1. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all users of this unit have read the
Owner’s Manual and are familiar with warnings and safety precautions.
2. Do not place chest strap near devices that generate large magnetic fields. TV sets,
electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can affect the transmitter’s
performance. These items can interfere with the heart rate signal and possibly affect the heart rate readings on the console.
3. Handle the Chest Strap with care. Dropping the transmitter might cause damage
that could void the warranty.
4. Do not use the chest strap if you have a cardiac pacemaker or if your are taking
medications for a heart condition. Medication or electrical pulses from the pacemaker can interfere with accurate heart rate readings.
5. Do not bend the strips inside the chest strap. This can cause the chest strap to
loose conductivity.
6. The chest strap has batteries that need to be replaced periodically. A faulty battery can cause inaccurate reading.

General Maintenace
Your Endurance® B4R Exercise Bike has been manufactured to withstand many hours
of use with minimal maintenance. Here are some maintenance tips to keep your Endurance® B4R Exercise Bike running at its best.
Cleaning
Periodically wipe down your machine with mild, soapy water or a diluted general
purpose non-abrasive household cleaner. Cleaner should never be applied directly
to any part of the equipment. Instead, place the non-abrasive cleaning solution on
a soft cloth and wipe down the unit. The Exercise Bike should be wiped down to remove sweat after each use.
SQUEAKING NOISE
If squeaking noise occurs, it is most likely one of these three reasons:
1. The hardware is not sufficiently tightened durring assembly. Please check and
tighthen all bolts.
2. Dirt buid-up on the rails and wheels. Clean the rails and wheels with a lint free
cloth and rubbing alcohol. After Cleaning, apply a small amount of lubricant on
Rail with your fingers or a lint free cloth.
3. The unit is not properly Leveled. There are two leveling pads on the rear legs to
adjust the level of the bike.

Stretching & Flexibility
Flexibility is an important component of physical fitness and needs to be addressed in
a resistance training program. The two main purposes for stretching are injury prevention and a faster rate of recovery from exercise. Stretching should be performed in both
the warm up and cool down phases of a training session. A good general guideline is
that each workout session should be preceded by 5 to 15 minutes of general warm up,
followed by 8 to 12 minutes of stretching, and concluded with 4 to 5 minutes of postexercise stretching.
A regular stretching program will loosen muscle tissue, allowing an increased range of
motion. This helps prevent micro-tears at the muscle-tendon junction. Almost 90% of
all injuries from muscle strain occur at the muscle-tendon junction. Repeated injury at
this junction can lead to a build-up of scar tissue, which impedes range of motion and
adds stress to the joints.
Begin by stretching the major muscle groups first. Move in and out of your stretches with
smooth, slow, controlled motion. Hold the stretch for at least 10 seconds when you feel
you have reached your muscle’s maximum distance. Do not use fast, hurried or reckless
motions when stretching. Fast and bouncy motions will increase the risk of injury.
The most common and most popular type of stretching is the static stretching technique.
This form of stretching involves voluntary, complete relaxation of the muscles while they
are elongated. A static stretch is a constant, steady stretch in which the end position is
held for 10 to 30 seconds. This technique is popular because it is easy to learn, effective,
and accompanied by minimal soreness with the least risk of injury.
Ballistic stretching involves a bouncing or bobbing movement during the stretch. The
final position in the movement is not held. Ballistic stretching is unpopular because of
the increased amount of delayed muscle soreness and the possibility of injury during the
stretching exercise. Ballistic stretching is not recommended.
A dynamic stretch involves flexibility during sport specific movements. Dynamic stretching is similar to ballistic stretching in that it utilizes movement, but dynamic stretching includes movements that may be specific to a sport or movement pattern. Dynamic
stretching is most common among track and field athletes, but is also used in other
sports, such as basketball and volleyball. An example of dynamic stretching would be a
track sprinter performing high knees with an emphasis on knee height and arm action,
not on horizontal speed.
