Workout Area Requirements

For safety, ensure there is adequate space around the equipment.

• The free area surrounding the equipment should be at least 0.6 metres larger than the training area.
• This space allows users to dismount safely in case of an emergency.
• When multiple pieces of equipment are placed side by side, the free area may be shared.

Exercise Information - Getting Started

If you have not exercised for a long time or are overweight, begin slowly and increase your workout duration gradually.

• Start with short sessions, increasing time by a few minutes each workout.
• Aerobic fitness typically improves within 6–8 weeks of consistent training.
• Exercise at your own pace and focus on gradual improvement.

Important reminders

• Have your doctor review your training and diet plans before starting.
• Set realistic fitness goals.
• Monitor your heart rate regularly.
• Always position your equipment on a flat and stable surface with enough space around it.

Exercise Intensity

To maximise exercise benefits, training intensity should be monitored using heart rate.

Effective aerobic exercise occurs when your heart rate is between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. During the first few months of training, keep your heart rate toward the lower end of the target zone.

Gradually increase intensity as your fitness improves.

Measuring Your Heart Rate

• Stop exercising but keep moving slowly.
• Place two fingers on your wrist to locate your pulse.
• Count heartbeats for 6 seconds.
• Multiply that number by 10 to determine beats per minute.
• Example 14 beats in 6 seconds × 10 = 140 BPM.
• Adjust exercise intensity to remain within your target heart rate zone.

Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise strengthens the heart and lungs, which are essential for overall health. Activities that involve large muscle groups, such as the legs, arms, and glutes, help improve cardiovascular fitness and endurance.

Weight Training

Weight training is an important part of a balanced exercise program - Benefits include

• Building muscle strength
• Improving muscle tone
• Supporting fat loss
• Enhancing overall physical performance
• If your heart rate exceeds your target zone, consider performing fewer repetitions or lowering the weight.

Structuring Your Workout

Each workout should include three key stages

1, Warm-Up (5–10 minutes)

• Light exercise and stretching
• Gradually increases heart rate and circulation
• Prepares muscles for training

2, Training Zone Exercise (20–30 minutes)

• Exercise while maintaining your target heart rate zone
• Beginners should limit this stage to 20 minutes initially

3, Cool-Down (5–10 minutes)

• Gentle stretching
• Helps reduce muscle soreness
• Improves flexibility
• Exercise Frequency

For best results perform three workouts per week with at least one rest day between sessions. After several months of regular training, you may increase to up to five workouts per week if desired.

The most important factor is consistency. Making exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your routine will deliver the best long-term fitness results.
