leg muscle groups such as your hamstrings and calves.

ly bent at all mes. You should be able to pedal without locking your knees or shiing your weight from side to side.

the console, the incline will also reset to 0%.
USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
The heart rate funcon on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips can provide a relave esmaon of
your actual=al heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Various factors, including
movement of the user, may aect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an ex-
ercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

bars, do not grip ghtly. Holding the grips ghtly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may
experience an errac readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars.
