How to Use a Health Rider Exerciser

A HealthRider is one way to improve or maintain your physique.

For optimum health, schedule exercise into your weekly planning on a regular basis. According to Medline Plus, physical activity not only can help you lose weight, it can also help prevent heart problems and diseases such as diabetes. If you're planning to build your own home gym, the HealthRider exercise machine is one option for an aerobic workout.

Things You'll Need

• HealthRider
• DVD

Instructions

1. Work out on your HealthRider by placing your feet on the pedals and using the same motions you would for an exercise bike. You can also place your hands on the handlebar to pull the weight for an upper-body workout. Place your hands on the side handles to focus on your lower body.

2. Exercise on the machine for at least 20 minutes per day, three days per week, as recommended by HealthRider.

3. Follow the "Fat to Thin" DVD workouts that come with your new HealthRider to try specific exercise programs.

4. Use the display to track your fitness progress. You can note your total time, estimated calories burned and stroke count.
