  11. This trainer is for use only home use. The equipment is not intended for therapeutic purposes.

According to the international standard EN957-1, this apparatus is a home exercise machine, and not for professional use (gyms, sports clubs, etc.) or in places where there is no control over its use. The manufacturer and seller disclaim all responsibility for injury to the user and damage to the apparatus that may occur during exercise outside the home. In this case, the warranty service of the simulator is also terminated.

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS

Using this simulator will help improve your overall physical condition, raise muscle tone and with proper nutrition (meaning the control of calorie intake) will make it possible to lose weight.


  1. Warm-up stage
This stage will help increase blood circulation in the body and thereby warm up the muscles, which will reduce the risk of injury to the muscles and ligaments. To do this, it is recommended to do some stretching exercises, as shown in the pictures below. Each exercise must be performed for 30 seconds without much effort and jerking. At the same time, if you feel pain or other unpleasant sensations, then stop exercising.


  1. Exercise stage
This is a stage that must be done with tension. With regular exercise, the muscles of your legs will quickly become stronger and more elastic. Work at your own pace, but it's important to maintain a steady pace. The load should be such that the heart rate falls into the zone marked in gray on the diagram.

For a good training effect, this stage should last at least 12 minutes, although most people do 15-20 minutes at the beginning of training.

3. Stage of relaxation
At this stage, your the cardiovascular system and muscles return to normal. It is necessary to repeat the stretching exercises for about 5 minutes, gradually lowering the pace and avoiding sudden movements. As you get stronger, you will need longer and harder workouts. It is recommended that you train at least three times a week, and if possible, spread your workouts evenly throughout the week.

Muscle strengthening

To achieve a good training effect - permanent muscle strengthening - you must set the resistance threshold with the load regulator quite high. If you also want to increase muscle mass and strength, you need to change a little training program. The warm-up and cool-down phases can go on as usual, but at the end of the workout, you should increase the resistance, forcing your legs to work harder. This will create additional stress and may not allow you to exercise for as long as you would like. You can also decrease your cadence to keep your heart rate in the target zone.

Note: hold on to the heart rate sensors.

Checking cardiac load control
In order for your heart system to get positive results from training, you need to work out in a certain target cardio zone. The American Heart Association defines this goal as 60%-75% of your maximum heart rate.

Your maximum heart rate can be approximately calculated by subtracting your age from 220. Your maximum heart rate allows you to build an individualized aerobic activity for your age. You use the calculated number to find the closest effective target zone for you. For example, the maximum heart rate for most 40 year olds is 180 beats per minute. The target heart zone of the indicator is 60% -75% - 180 or 108-135 bpm.

Before starting your workout, check your resting heart rate. Place your fingers lightly over the location of the main artery. After finding your pulse, count the number of beats for 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by six to find the number of beats per minute. We recommend that after a state of rest, do warm-up exercises before the main workout. During these exercises, periodically take heart rate measurements to see how your body is prepared for training. This data can be used during the main workout and to select an effective target zone.

Based on research, the American Heart Association recommends starting at the lower end of your heart rate goal of 60%, then gradually work your way up to 75%. The zone above 75% of your maximum heart rate may be too high if you are not in the best physical condition. Exercising below 60% of your maximum is recommended for people with minimal cardiovascular training.

Check how the pulse is restored. If your heart rate is more than 100 beats per minute within 5 minutes after stopping, then the load and speed during the workout may have been great for you. Relax next time.

The exercise bike is one of the most popular types of all exercise machines. It is great for those who want to keep fit all the time. It is intended both for work at home and in the gym.

How to use an exercise bike correctly and choose a model for your weight? What should be paid special attention to and how should it be maintained?

You will learn the answers to these questions from our most complete guide for using this trainer. We will consider all the nuances.

8 basic things you need to know

Next, we will analyze point by point everything you need to know in order to correctly and effectively, learn how to use and maintain it, and also not to abandon classes. In the end, let's talk about the various varieties of this simulator and the nuances of choice (recall, there are whole ones).

1. How to customize the simulator for yourself?

  • Seat. First you need to learn how to adjust the seat: the main guideline for this should be convenience, as it is important element workouts. The height of the seat must be installed and adjusted so that the leg standing on the pedal at the lowest point is slightly bent at the knee. This position will be optimal. For many models, the adjustment knob is located under the seat or on the side of it.
  • Steering wheel. It is necessary to position the steering wheel so that you do not lean on it, and your back is slightly tilted. If the main load falls on the steering wheel, and not the pedals, then the effectiveness of the training will be low. At the same time, you must freely change the position of the body relative to the steering wheel in the forward-backward plane. It's necessary to unload the back and neck area during class.

2. Getting to know the symbols on the display

What kind basic moments you need to know to familiarize yourself with the monitor:

  • The exercise bike can be equipped with a minimum set of functions: such as exercise time, heart rate, speed and number of kilometers traveled.
  • Modern ones have many options: training programs, automatic regulation of the resistance force of the pedals, as well as.
  • The more features a simulator has, the more expensive it is. When buying, think about exactly what features you need. To maintain good physical shape, it is enough to purchase the simplest -.
Attention! The indications on the display of each model may differ. The instructions for each model provide a detailed explanation of all designations.

3. Turn on and off

Before you start exercising, carefully read the accompanying instructions. It gives you all the information you need to know about your bike in a concise manner. Explore all features and settings. When exercising, do not violate the recommendations for use - this can lead to injury and damage to the simulator.

Lesson algorithm can be represented as follows:

  1. Position yourself on the machine in a position that is comfortable for you.
  2. On different models, the “on / off” buttons may be placed differently.
  3. To turn on the monitor, press the Power/Reset button. On some models, this button is called "On/Stop". You can not press the button, but just start pedaling. After that, the console screen will light up, and you can start training.
  4. The main functions will be displayed on the monitor. Modern electromagnetic models have various ready-made training programs. Enter your details, select a training program and follow the main parameters during the session.
  5. At the end of the session, begin to slowly reduce the pace of pedaling to a complete stop until the "Stop" button lights up.

4. How should you sit?

To start exercising, you need to sit properly. Heed to following advice:

  1. Do not lower your head - look forward.
  2. The landing should be straight, the back slightly arched.
  3. You can't stoop and transfer your body weight to the steering wheel.
  4. The shoulder girdle and arms should not be tense - included in the work Bottom part body.

If the steering wheel and seat are adjusted correctly, you will be comfortable sitting. If the adjustment does not match your parameter (especially height), tension will be felt in the body.

5. How to pedal correctly?

Some simple rules help you make friends with workout:

  • Secure your ankle with Velcro pedal straps tight enough to keep your foot firmly on the pedal plane.
  • Load the muscle groups of the legs evenly, do not shift body weight to one side or the other.
  • Start and end the session at the lowest speed.

In a separate article, we have collected

6. How to breathe while exercising?

Throughout the process of exercising on the simulator, you need to breathe correctly, paying special attention to the following points:

  1. Start with a warm-up, which will allow you to warm up the muscles and at an accelerated pace to include the respiratory and cardiovascular system.
  2. Breathing should be measured if you are out of breath - the pace should be reduced.
  3. You need to breathe through your nose: if you start breathing through your mouth, then this indicates that the load is great for you.
  4. Class you can not end abruptly at the peak of speed. The final stage should be aimed at restoring breathing and pulse, as well as at relaxing muscles.
  5. Watch your condition, do not overload yourself and do not get exhausted. The pace should be increased and decreased gradually.
  6. For each user, the intensity of work should be individual. Main criterion properly conducted training - pleasant fatigue and good mood. You need to move on gradually.

7. What should be the heart rate during training?

Optimal is pulse rate equal to 60 - 75% of the maximum value set for your age. Factors such as the level of physical training, Availability overweight, health status ( you should be very careful about training). The goal that you set for yourself is also taken into account - losing weight, developing endurance, maintaining a good physical form or other purposes.

Some trainers have heart rate sensors. You can also use a chest sensor, often using sensors located on the wrist. Various factors can influence their readings, so there is some error in determining the pulse values. Only medical devices () can give the most accurate indicators.

See the video for more details:

8. How fast should you pedal?

When choosing a speed expected load must be taken into account:

  • Average - 16-20 km / h.
  • Moderate - 21-23 km / h.
  • High - 26-30 km / h.
  • Limit - more than 30 km / h.
  • Pedal resistance level for each is selected individually. This takes into account the readings of the heart rate, training objectives, as well as the comfort of the student. Do not forget that potential is an individual concept.

    If you want to try very intense workout, you can pay attention to, although they also certainly have.

    What type of trainer to choose?

    Market sports equipment presented various types and models of exercise bikes. Everyone can choose for themselves a suitable model that will suit him in terms of cost and the availability of the necessary functions. About that, we talked in a separate article.

    Types of exercise bikes according to the loading system can be:

    • electromagnetic- the most modern, equipped with many options necessary for the trainee.
    • - Quite modern, characterized by smoothness and noiselessness.
    • Mechanical- simple design and affordable price.

    By location (landing):

  • Lubrication. The bike components are initially lubricated, but after several months of use, the lubrication should be repeated.
  • Attention! Before each of these procedures, be sure to disconnect the equipment from the mains by pulling the plug from the outlet.

    3 most common faults

    Each type of exercise bike can have its own problems. The most common are:

    1. Display not working. Most often, problems with the display can be due to dead batteries. You can carry out the replacement procedure yourself: it is described in the instructions for your simulator.
    2. Pedals are hard to turn. Open the working mechanism, clean and lubricate it. If this is an electromagnetic model, then check if all wire contacts are connected. If this is not the reason, entrust the repair to a specialist.
    3. Doesn't turn on. A common cause is a loose wire: you can solder it yourself with some skill.
    Attention! Do not repair an exercise bike that is under warranty. This will void the manufacturer's warranty. Electronics cannot be repaired by yourself. Entrust diagnostics and repair to specialists of the service center.

    If you are a fan of experimenting, you can do

    Practice all the rules for using your exercise bike. If you want it to serve for a long time, please contact the service center staff for all maintenance and repair issues. The specialists of this organization have all the necessary knowledge and skills to work with various models of simulators.

    In choosing a simulator for the gym, the most important thing is not to make gross mistakes. There are people who buy simulators "for themselves", I don't think about the efficiency of the gym and the return on investment. There are Papasport trainers that are something really unimaginable. We offer you sports equipment ARMS produced by the Ural Plant of Sports Products. If the simulator is sacred for you - call and order professional swat series of simulators. We have not only rospitsport, we just have an amazingly large selection block simulators and simulators on a free load. We ship simulators directly from the production from Ufa or, for example, from Magnitogorsk. Wherever the sports delivery is located, sports strength training equipment for the gym will be transported to the transport company for free. Sportdelivery Yekaterinburg accepts applications for production power simulators for individual orders, there are no restrictions on the color of the frame and cushions.

    The American part of the International Space Station (ISS) broke down Treadmill, according to experts, there is most likely a high degree of probability and there is every reason to believe that to a greater extent the reason for this was the fact that the purchase of a treadmill was absolutely not in Sportdelivery.

    The life of one of the simulators came to an end and the astronauts replaced it with a new one, according to NASA on April 23. The treadmill was again bought not in Sportdelivery, which in itself has signs of deviant behavior of buyers. When the laboratory module reaches the ISS, the track has every chance of breaking down again. The launch date of the Russian module has been postponed again. The ISS crew has two treadmills at their disposal, both of which were bought in dubious places: one is located in the Russian Zvezda module, the second in the American Tranquility module. The new simulator was stored in the inflatable BEAM module for several years, the astronauts needed to test it before use.

    When buying a treadmill in sports delivery, tests are not needed - we buy and run!

    Sportdelivery has the imprudence to offer you outdoor trampolines for children and adults to jump in the suburban climate. Prices in Russia are falling not only for food, as Rosstat claims, but also for trampolines. Jumping outdoor products are becoming more accessible. In connection with the continuing success of Roskosmos, some individuals are developing a trampoline as a means of delivering drowned dachshunds into orbit. If you want to have a good time, if you want to return to the pre-pubertal period of your youth, if you have a friend Dimka Rogozin, if your dachshund drowned in an unknown liquid after bullying - Buy a trampoline, in all these cases you can’t go without a trampoline. Again, we recall how the Old People taught us - "who does not jump (on a trampoline), that Pascal"

    Residents of the Sverdlovsk region were allowed to collect moss, reeds and forest litter
    The deputies of the regional parliament adopted the corresponding bill in three readings at once, thereby bringing local legislation into line with the federal one. Previously, Russians were allowed to collect deadwood and hunt with a bow. Sportdelivery congratulates all residents of the Sverdlovsk region on such a breathtaking event. On this occasion, we propose to write a collective letter about assigning the status of a holiday to this event local importance and enter on this day the day off of the calendar. At the weekend, you can buy a treadmill and train furiously so that later you can run through the forest and collect everything that is now allowed to be collected.

    The instruction manual for the elliptical trainer is intended to familiarize you with the new device, it explains the rules of safety, assembly and operation, and also includes an explanation of additional functions.

    medical safety

    This section is the most important and the first in almost all elliptical trainer manuals, please pay attention to the following points:

    • Before you start exercising, have a checkup with your doctor to determine at what intensity of exercise it is best to start getting used to the loads.
    • If you experience pain during exercise chest feel abnormal heartbeat, weakness and shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately and consult a doctor.
    • Before each new workout check your simulator for serviceability.
    • Be careful when getting up from or stepping on the machine.

    Unit installation

    This section of the instructions for the ellipsoid simulator talks in detail about:

    • Height adjustment.
    • Required free space to install the device.
    • Leg position during exercise.
    • Storage and transportation of the simulator.

    How the elliptical trainer works

    Orbitrek (ellipse) is a simulator of complex impact on human body, which can replace a treadmill, stepper and even an exercise bike. During training, a person can work out all the muscles of his body, and the load will be soft and smooth, which will not aggravate the condition of your joints. When choosing a simulator, be sure to pay attention to the following criteria:

    • Smooth running. All movements should be soft, without jerks.
    • Elliptical trainer stride size. The more you grow, the more this indicator should be.
    • Maximum user weight. Add 10-15 kg to your weight, and you will get the value of the maximum allowable user weight. As a rule, home orbitreks have a maximum load value of about 120 kg.

    Additional functions

    The number of extra options affects the quality of your workout and the price of an elliptical trainer, so plan your budget ahead of time and decide what features your device has. Before using the simulator, be sure to familiarize yourself with the management of the existing functionality in the model you purchased.

    Assembly instructions

    The Zona Sport store offers free assembly and the most profitable delivery of elliptical trainers priced from 20 thousand rubles. If you decide to take on the assembly process yourself, then make sure that the device comes with an assembly drawing and a list of all components. Then just follow the instructions.

    In order for a newcomer, inflamed with a thirst for change, not to be at a loss when he sees brutal men and the same brutal simulators when he first visits the gym, we, together with absolute champion The bodybuilding RBs went to the abode of iron to draw up a “first steps” instruction for a neophyte.

    Maxim Barma

    international coach
    the shoot place -
    gym "Zebra"

    - It's very easy to spot a beginner in the gym. It is given by the technique of performing exercises. In general, a person who has just come to the gym must first master the technique and only then - build up mass, work on relief and endurance.

    Warm up

    It is best to start training with 10-15 minutes of cardio (ellipsoid, treadmill, "bike"), then stretch your arms, legs, warm up your muscles and ligaments.

    Exercise 1

    Training apparatus: power frame
    What do we do: squats

    Deadlifts, squats, bench presses - in principle, all weightlifting exercises are done on this simulator. Let's start with squats, they will turn on gluteal muscles and muscles of the back of the thigh.

    The bar is installed on the racks of the power frame on required height. You get under the bar and place it on your shoulders. Bring the shoulder blades together, elbows turned forward. Remove the bar from the racks, arching your back at the waist. The head is raised. Lower yourself by bending your knees and pushing your pelvis back.

    Exercise 2

    Training apparatus: power frame
    What do we do: dead (dead) thrust on straight legs

    This exercise is suitable for both girls and guys to build the gluteal muscles and muscles of the back of the thigh. On a par with deep squats to the floor deadlift and lunges are the main classic exercises that give excellent results.

    The legs are not wide, the socks are somewhat apart. Without bending your knees, lower the body down and take the barbell. Initially, the back will be slightly rounded, but with the next movement, bend your knees, push your chest forward, while pulling your pelvis back - your back should become straight. Raising the bar, push the buttocks forward at the top point.

    Exercise 3

    We use: dumbbells
    What do we do: lunges

    Lunges are a basic classic exercise that works all the muscles from the hip to the knee joint. In general, the more muscles involved in the exercise, the better: the effect will be stronger.
    The back is even, we take a step of medium length, we touch the floor with our knees, we get up, we take the next step.

    Lunges on the spot are less effective. When you exactly go with dumbbells - it uses the muscles more. In this exercise, the most difficult thing is to maintain coordination and balance, so at first you can do it without dumbbells. Also, to make it easier, you can take a little step to the side, like skiers, to maintain maximum balance.

    Exercise 4

    Training apparatus for leg press
    What do we do: calf raises

    When we do standing calf raises, we turn on calf muscle, we make it work, take shape and volume. When we do calf raises while sitting, the soleus muscles work more for us. When your strength is running out, you can do calf raises in the leg press machine - in this case, both soleus and calf muscles work.

    We place the feet on the platform, raise the platform up, while the knees are “in the castle”. We get on our toes. The amplitude is short. Can you imagine that you are standing on thumb legs.

    Exercise 5

    Training apparatus: graviton
    What we do: pull-ups

    If you still don't have enough strong hands to do pull-ups on your own, this machine will help you simulate them.

    We set the weight, for example, 50 kilograms. We kneel on the lower platform, and grab the upper handle holders with our hands. We take out the knees by 1.5-2 centimeters to simulate a horizontal bar. We keep the back straight, raise our head, look at the ceiling, and with two handles at the same time, we pull ourselves up, while the elbows go along the body.

    Exercise 6

    Training apparatus: crossover
    What we do: thrust horizontal block to the waist neutral grip in the set position

    This exercise is for latissimus dorsi back. Sit on a bench. Bend your legs at the knees. Grasp the handle of the simulator and pull it to the waist. Push your shoulders back and your chest forward as you contract. Hold for a second while holding the handle against the body.

    Exercise 7

    Training apparatus: hyperextension

    Hyperextension engages in work lumbar muscles and improve your appearance: you begin to walk more evenly, do not slouch.

    Tighten the gluteal muscles and “break” in the belt through the simulator. Tilt your body down. At the bottom of the trajectory, smoothly, without jerks, lift the body up to a straight line with the legs. Hold for a second in this position and repeat the movement again.

    You need to exhale at the moment when the muscle contraction occurs. Those. with any effort, exhalation occurs. In this case, raising the body is harder than lowering it, therefore, we exhale at the top.

    Exercise 8

    We use: barbell and horizontal bench
