For anyone who likes cycling and wants to avoid strain on the
joints
Due to the round leg movement this is a particularly gentle form
of exercise for foot, knee and hip joints. It is ideal for regulated
cardiovascular training with the training goal of fat burning, as
the physical strain is lower than with running training.Therefore
home trainers are also suitable for people who are overweight or
who have physical problems and want to avoid too much strain
on knee and hip joints.
For training related to the heart rate, a chest strap is recom-
mended.
The advantages:
– ergonomic, optimally adjustable to the desired training
position-
– ideal for cardiovascular training and fat burning
– low strain on joints
– also suitable for overweight people and beginners
– space saving and easy to transport
Setting the optimum sitting position
The ideal posture is to have your upper body slightly bent for-
ward. If you have back problems, adjust the tilt angle so that the
upper body is in an upright sitting position, which protects the
spine and joints.
Seat height
First of all adjust the saddle to the optimum seat height. This is
achieved when you can just reach the pedals with your heel with
bent knees. You will maintain a round movement of the legs if you
never completely stretch out the knee. Therefore you have a
training which is gentle on foot, knee and hip joints.
Distance from saddle to handlebars
The saddle of your home trainer can also be adjusted horizontally
(according to the model). To do this loosen the screws underne-
ath the saddle and slide the saddle forwards or backwards down
the bar, depending on your body height.
