cardiovascular effect. Note: Although 70% was
used in this example, the heart rate range needed
to achieve results falls between 60% and 85% of
your maximum heart rate.

If you are just beginning your exercise program,
your target heart rate range should be roughly at
60% of your maximum heart rate. As you become
more conditioned (or if you are already in good 
cardiovascular shape) you can increase your 
target heart rate to 70%-85% of your maximum 
heart rate. Remember, your target heart rate is 
only a guide.

When checking heart rate during a workout, take
your pulse within five seconds after interrupting
exercise because it starts to go down once you
stop moving. Count pulse for 10 seconds and 
multiply by six to get the per-minute rate.

Remember, your Recumbent Bike also comes with
pulse sensors located on the Rear Handlebar.

a) Push the START button on your Computer.

b) Gently grab both metal pulse sensors on 

both handlebars. Wait 6 seconds.

c) Your estimated heart rate range will be 

displayed on screen. Check the chart on the
following page to see if you are within your
range according to your age.

By using the chart on the following page you can
see where your heart rate falls in the minimum and
maximum target zones.

The above are guidelines, people with any medical
limitations should discuss this formula with their
physician.

All exercise clothing should be loose-fitting to 
permit freedom of movement, and should make
the wearer feel comfortable and self-assured.

Never wear rubberized or plastic clothing, such 
garments interfere with the evaporation of 
perspiration and can cause body temperature 
to rise to dangerous levels.

We recommend wearing a workout shoe with a
rubberized sole unless instructed otherwise.

1) Adopt a specific plan and write it down.

2) Keep setting realistic goals as you go along,

and remind yourself of them often.

3) Keep a log to record your progress and make

sure to keep it up-to-date. See pages 22 - 24.

4) Include weight and/or percent body fat 

measures in your log. Extra pounds can 
easily creep back.

5) Upgrade your fitness program as you progress.

Your Edge 491r provides 12 different workout
programs to keep your workouts challenging.

6) Enlist the support and company of your family

and friends.

7) Update others on your successes.

8) Avoid injuries by pacing yourself and including

a warm up and cool down period as part of
every workout. See page 16.

9) Reward yourself periodically for a job well done!
