FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1
A1
Are there any suggestions for using the unit for the first time?
Ride on the unit in the basic posture described on page 10. Start the exercise with the “Easy” course to accustom
your body to the movement. Once you grow accustomed to the movement, we recommend exercising with the
“Light” course.
Q2
How many times can I use the unit each day?
AO Twice a day is the standard frequency of use. A single exercise should be within 15 minutes.
We recommend exercising once in the morning and once in the evening.
* Over exercise may subject your body to excessive strain.
Q3
A3
What kind of dress is recommended when exercising?
Dress in a sporty style where it is easy to move. However, wearing pants of thin fabrics or breeches may result in
abrasions to your skin from rubbing on the unit. Choose pants with thick fabric.
A I feel a pain in the buttocks or the area around the coccyx due to abrasions, is there any good method of
preventing the pain?
f k A The pain is probably due to abrasions during exercise. Stop using the unit until the pain disappears. When using the
unit again after the pain disappears, hold the seat firmly with your thighs so that vour buttocks do not move during
the exercise. Wear pants with thick fabric, and exercise with reasonable intensity.
If there is abrasion still, try the following methods;
(1) Use the unit at iow speed until you grow accustomed to the movement and you don’t feel any pain in the
buttocks, and then graduaiiy increase the speed.
(2) Cover the seat with a cushion to reduce the stimulation of your buttocks. (Since using the cushion makes you
slightly unstable when using the unit, hold the reins lightly during the exercise.)
Q5
A5
l am an elder and have no confidence in my level of physical fitness. How can I use the unit?
For elderly persons or persons not confident in their level of physical fitness, we recommend starting the exercise
with the “Easy” course to accustom your body to the movement. Once you grow accustomed to the movement in the
“Easy” course, gradually increase the speed in the “Light” course to improve your level of physical fitness.
Never over do the exercise—and always gradually increase the intensity of the exercise.
Q6
A6
I have been using the unit for a period of time, but I did not lose any weight.
Use the unit in the proper basic position.
Do you eat meals regularly? Don’t eat or drink too much and don’t eat between meals. The diet effects depend on a
balance between calories intake and calories consumed.
Do exercise with the unit regularly and pay attention to your eating habits.
Q7
A7
Will the exercise with the unit result in building muscle?
The intensity of the exercise on the unit is not vigorous enough to make you muscular. A load of about 70% of the
maximal myodynamics must be applied to obtain the muscular hypertrophy effect (to grow muscular).
