Getting Comfortable
Chapter One: Riding Your Bike
Setting Your
Weight
Seat
Adjustment
The body weight setting does not affect the calorie expenditure
calculation. Unlike treadmills or other weight-bearing exercises,
calories burned during exercise biking does not change with
different body weights.
Adjust the seat so that when
your leg is fully extended with
your feet in the pedals, your
knee is slightly bent.
Riders are most efficient if they
place the ball of their foot in the
center of the pedal.
Other riders are more comfortable
if the arch of their foot is against
the pedal. Riders are encouraged to
be as efficient as possible, but use
your own
judgment in the comfort/efficiency
tradeoff.
