The VE750 is a new-generation apparatus for getting back into shape.This product is equipped with a magnetic transmission system for optimal and smooth pedaling comfort.

The VE750 brings together the circular motion of cycling, the horizontal motion of running, and the vertical motion of stair stepping - all rolled into one! The back-and-forth elliptical movement of the feet, in combination with the arm movement, helps develop the muscles of the arms, the back,

the pectorals, the gluteals, the quadriceps, and the calves.

The elliptical bicycle is an excellent means of cardio training activity. Training on this apparatus is designed to increase your cardio-vascular capacity. This principle will help you improve your physical conditioning, your endurance, and your calorie expenditure

(a necessary step for losing weight in conjunction with a diet). The elliptical apparatus affords toning for the legs, gluteals, and the upper body(chest, back, and arms). The calf muscles and the lower parts of the abdominals are also used in the workout. You can intensify the work

by the gluteal muscles by pedaling with a rearward motion.

Weight Maintenance/Warm-up:progressive effort starting at 10minutes.For a workout designed either to keep you inshape or for re-education purposes, you maytrain every day for around ten minutes. Thistype of exercise is designed to stimulate yourmuscles and joints or may be used as awarm-up to additional physical activity.To increase the muscle tone of the legs, selecta higher resistance and lengthen the exerciseperiod.Of course, you may vary the pedalling resis-tance throughout your exercise session.

Aerobic fitness workout: moderateeffort for a fairly long period (35min to 1 hour).If you wish to lose weight, this type of exerci-se, combined with a diet, is the only way toincrease the quantity of energy consumed bythe organism. Nevertheless, it is pointless to

push yourself beyond your limits. It is theregularity of training that will allow you toobtain the best results.

Select a fairly weak pedalling resistance andexercise at your own rhythm, but at least fora period of 30 minutes. This exercise shouldraise a slight sweat but should under no cir-cumstances leave you breathless. It’s theduration of the exercise, at a slow rhythm,that will require your organism to draw itsenergy from your fat reserves provided thatyou pedal for more than thirty minutes, aminimum of three times a week.

Aerobic training for endurance: sus-tained effort for 20 to 40 minutes.This type of training targets significant rein-forcement of the cardiac muscle and impro-ved respiratory activity.The resistance and/or speed of pedalling isincreased so as to increase respiration during

the exercise. The effort here is more sustainedthan for the maintenance workout.

As your training progresses, you will be ableto sustain the effort for longer periods, at afaster rate or with a higher degree of resis-tance. You may train a minimum of threetimes a week for this type of training. Training at a faster rate (anaerobic workoutand workout in the red zone) is reserved forathletes and requires adequate preparation.

After each training session, take severalminutes to pedal with diminishing speed andresistance in order to cool down and pro-gressively bring the body to a state of rest.

When just starting out, begin by training over several days with a slight resistance and pedalling speed, without forcing, and taking rest breaks asneeded. Then progressively increase the frequency or duration of your exercise sessions.

Warm-up phase : progressive effort.Warming up is a preparatory phase before any activity. It puts the person INTOOPTIMUM CONDITIONS for carrying out his or her favorite sport. It is a METHODOF PREVENTING ACCIDENTS TO TENDONS AND MUSCLES. There are twoaspects : WAKING UP THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM, GENERAL WARMING UP.

1) The muscular system is prepared in a SPECIAL STRETCHING SESSION whichPREPARES FOR EACH ACTIVITY : each group of muscles is used, joints are used.

2) Global warming up gradually brings the cardiovascular and respiratory sys-tem into action, improves irrigation of the muscles and prepares for makingefforts. It must be sufficiently long : 10 min for a leisure sport activity, 20 minfor a competition sport activity. Note that warming up must be longer : after 55years old, in the morning.

TrainingTRAINING is the main phase of your physical activity. You can improve your phy-sical condition by REGULAR training.• Anaerobie exercice to develop endurance.• Aerobic exercice to develop cardio-pulmonary resistance.

Slowing downThis is the continuation of an activity at low intensity, the gradual “return to rest”phase. SLOWING DOWN brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system, theblood flow and muscles back to “normal” (eliminating the counter effects of anexercice, such as lactic acids, the accumulation of which is one of the majorcauses of muscular pains such as cramps and stiff muscles).

StretchingSTRETCHING must follow the slowing down phase while joints are still warm inorder to reduce risks of injury. Stretching after an activity : minimizes MUSCULARSTIFFNESS due to an accumulation of LACTIC ACIDS, “stimulates” BLOOD CIRCULATION.

C A R D I O - T R A I N I N G E X E R C I S ECardio-training exercise is a form of aerobics (conditioning the body in the presence of oxygen) and allows you to improve your cardio-vascular

capacity. To be more precise, you will improve the tonicity of the heart and your blood vessels. Cardio-training exercise carries the oxygen breathedin from the air to your muscles. It is the heart that pumps this oxygen through the body and, in particular, to the muscles being exercised.
