Anleitung Zusammenfassung
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 Exercise Bike. 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 Exercise Bike I had delivered louder than the one at the store? 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. When should I be worried about a noise? As long as the sounds your Exercise Bike makes are no louder than a normal conversational tone of voice, it is considered normal noise. If your Exercise Bike is louder than this, you may want to call your service technician. Sometimes an initial diagnosis can be made over the phone. 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 trainer easily once it is assembled? Your Horizon Fitness Exercise Bike has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It is easy to move your Exercise Bike by rolling it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your Horizon Fitness Exercise Bike in a comfortable and inviting room. Your Exercise Bike is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their Exercise Bikes facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your Exercise Bike in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the Exercise Bike should be in a attractive setting M A I N T E N A N C E What kind of routine maintenance is required? We use sealed bearings throughout our Exercise Bike so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the Exercise Bike after each use. How do I clean my Horizon Fitness Exercise Bike? Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts. Your Horizon Fitness Exercise Bike is the ideal choice to help you maintain year round fitness. You can use your Horizon Fitness Exercise Bike as the core of your exercise program, or as a supplement to other fitness activities. Many people will ride their bikes, hike, or swim in the more pleasant months, only to lose their improved fitness with the arrival of inclement weather. By placing a Horizon Fitness Exercise Bike in the convenience of your home, you can keep your exercise program going despite bad weather, early nightfalls, or an ever increasingly busy schedule. H o w O f t e n ? 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 your shower, 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.

So decide on a time, pull out your day planner and pencil in your exercise times for the next month! H o w L o n g ? For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between 24 and 32 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. H o w H a r d ? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals.
