Select the stationary bicycle that is right for you.

-
Step 5
Position the bike so that you have a clear and safe working area.

Step 6
Adjust your body on the bike so that your body weight is evenly distributed between your arms and your seat. The saddle should be level with the floor to avoid injury and your hips should not rock while you pedal.

Decide what height you want the handlebars to be. You may need to work out on the bike several times before you get the handlebars precisely where you want them for your maximum comfort.
