BC60

1.3 Electrical safety

+ The equipment requires a 220 - 230V / 50 Hertz mains power supply.

+ The equipment should be connected directly to a grounded plug socket only by

means of the power cable supplied. The use of multi-socket adapters or similar

is not recommended. Extension leads must comply with local electrical safety

guidelines. Always fully unwind the power cable.

+ The outlet should be secured with a fuse with a minimum value of „16 amperes,

slow“.

+ In order to reduce the risk of an electric shock, always unplug the equipment from

the mains socket immediately after your workout, before assembly or dismantling,

and before maintenance or cleaning. Do not pull on the cable.

+ When plugged in, do not leave the equipment unattended at any time. To avoid

use by anyone unfamiliar with the operating instructions, the power cable should

be removed when the equipment is not in use.

+ Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not route the power

cable underneath the equipment or under a carpet or rug, and do not place any

objects on top of it.

+ Make no modications to either the power cable or the mains plug.

+ If the power cable or the plug are damaged or defective, contact your authorized

contract partner. Do not use the equipment in the meantime.

+ Do not keep electrical devices (e. g., mobile phones) in close proximity to the

console or the control electronics, otherwise display values (e. g., pulse measuring)

could be inaccurate.

1.4 Set-up place

+ The equipment should only be used indoors, in a suciently heated and dry area

(ambient temperature between 10°C and 35°C). The equipment should not be

used outdoors or in rooms with high humidity (over 70%) like swimming pools. The

equipment should only be stored in surroundings with an ambient temperature

between 5°C and 45°C.

+ The training room should be well ventilated during training and not be exposed to

any draughts.

+ Choose a location in which to place the equipment such that there is enough free

space/clearance to the front, the rear and to the sides of the equipment (at least

1.50 m). Furthermore, the equipment should not be set up in main entrances or on

escape routes.

+ Always keep the power cable away from hot surfaces and grounds and make sure

that the cable is not stuck somewhere or becomes a „trip hazard“.

+ No objects of any type should be inserted into the openings of the equipment.

BC60

+ The equipment should be placed on a level and solid surface, any unevenness in

the oor should be leveled out.

+ A oor protective mat / equipment underlay can help to protect high-quality oor

coverings (parquet, laminate, cork, carpets) from dents and sweat and can help to

level out slight unevenness.

5 WORKOUT INSTRUCTIONS

5.1 Heart-rate measuring

Pulse measuring via hand sensors

The hand sensors integrated in the handles beside the seat allow you to determine

your heart rate. You can measure your heart rate by lightly grasping the sensors with

both hands at the same time. Blood pressure changes occur due to the heartbeat. The

sensors measure the changes to the electric skin resistance caused by it. These values

are then used to create an average and are displayed on the screen of the console as

a heart rate.

Note:

For some people, the skin resistance change caused by the heart rate is so minimal

that the measurements do not allow for usable values. Strong callus or sweat on the

hands may also impair a correct measurement. In such cases, the heart rate will not be

shown at all or only incorrectly.

If the measurement is incorrect or not taken at all, please check if it happens to only

one person or to several people. If the pulse display only does not work in a single

case, the equipment is not defective. In this case, we recommend using a chest strap

to achieve a permanently correct heart rate display..

CAUTION: Your training equipment is not a medical device. Dierent factors

may inuence the accuracy of the heart rate display. The heart rate display only

serves as a training aid.

Telemetric heart rate measuring

This recumbent ergometer is already equipped with a heart rate receiver as standard.

Using a chest strap makes it possible for you to have a wireless heart rate measuring.

This optimal and ECG-precise type of measuring reads the heart rate directly from the

skin through a transmitting chest strap. The chest strap then sends the impulse to the

receiver integrated in the console.

Positioning the chest strap and moistening the electrodes:

Place the belt directly below the chest, while the transmitter should be placed on the

middle of the chest. The chest strap should sit comfortably, but not too loose. If the

belt is too loose, the contact to the electrodes may be disrupted or the belt may slip

BC60

while exercising. The transmitter turns on automatically once it is put on. In order to

allow for a precise measuring, you should moisten the rubber electrodes. This is best

done with a special chest strap contact gel, which is also used for ultrasound scans.

Note:

If you have not been active in doing sports for a longer period of time, you should

rst go to your physician in order to discuss your training with them. You should also

contact your physician in advance in the event of heart problems, high/low blood

pressure and obesity.

Training with heart rate orientation

Heart rate orientation guarantees an extremely eective and healthy training. Through

your age and the following table, you can quickly and easily read and determine the

optimal pulse for your training. An acoustic alarm will sound if your heart rate exceeds

the set target heart rate. Which target heart rate is important for which training goal

can be found out in the following.

Fat burning (weight management): The main goal here is to burn deposits of fat. In

order to achieve this training goal, a low training intensity (approximately 55% of the

maximum heart rate) and a longer training period are required.

Cardiovascular training (cardio training): The primary goal is to increase stamina

and tness through an improved provision of oxygen through the cardiovascular

system. In order to achieve this training goal, medium intensity (approximately 75%

of the maximum heart rate) with a medium training period is required.

Anaerobic (maximum) load training: The main goal of maximum load training is to

improve recovery after short, intense loads in order to be able to quickly return to the

aerobic zone. In order to achieve this training goal, a high intensity (approximately

90% of the maximum heart rate) with short, intense load is required, which is followed

by a recovery phase in order to prevent muscle fatigue.

BC60

Example:

For a 45-year-old man or woman, the maximum heart rate is 175 (220 - 45 = 175).

• The fat burning target zone (55%) is at approximately 96 beats/min.

= (220 - age) x 0.55.

• The cardio target zone (75%) is at approximately 131 beats/min.

= (220 - age) x 0.75.

• The maximum heart rate for an anaerobic load training (90%) is at approximately

157 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.9.

5.2 10 tips for eective ergometer training

1. Set goals

What would you like to achieve with your training? Weight regulation, improved

stamina, prevent risk of disease, more mobility, cardiovascular training, etc. In order

to achieve your long-term training goal, set individual partial goals, e. g., weekly or

monthly goals.

2. Concentration on training

Try to only dedicate yourself to your training unit and do not be distracted.

3. Position yourself correctly while exercising

As you pedal, your upper body should align with the backrest and your back held

straight. Avoid side-to-side motion in the hips and back.

4. Correct breathing / appropriate resistance level

Do not overexert yourself physically and mentally by starting with resistance levels

that are too high. Start slowly and increase the resistance steadily. Aim for regular and

calm breathing.

5. Keep yourself properly hydrated

Drink, drink, drink! Have a drinking bottle close by during your workout.

6. Sucient recovery periods

Allow your body and your muscles enough time to recover after your workout. Only a

relaxed muscle will be fully operational again.

7. Choose a diversied program

Switch your focus between dierent muscle groups and dierent levels of intensity

during your workout.

8. Creating the right workout

Every training session should have a warm-up phase, a cool-down phase and a

targeted stretching. It increases physical and mental performance and prevents

injuries and sore muscles.

9. Workout journal

Keep a record of your training sessions. Note the date, resting pulse, active pulse, recovery

pulse, resistance level, time, distance, calories burnt and tness level.

10. Reward yourself

Do something good for you and your body after training or after achieving a partial goal.

Go to the sauna or a swimming pool. Mix a protein shake or enjoy a delicious salad.

5.3 Designing a workout

We recommend two or three workouts per week. Warm up for about ve minutes before

starting each workout. Finish the workout with a cool-down and targeted stretching.

Warm-Up approx. ve min. Dynamic movement of large muscle groups at a low

intensity. Core body temperature increases and the

metabolic process is speeded up.
