B2U/B2R CONSOLE INSTALLING BATTERIES If your B2U/B2R batteries have not already been installed by your retailer, please install them now. The console uses two AA batteries. Install the batteries in the battery compartment in the back of the console. CONVERTING FROM METRIC TO STANDARD First flip the switch located in the reverse side of the panel. Then, take the batteries out and replace them. When the machine powers back up the readout will switch.
TIME There are two modes of time display. You can choose either Count Up Mode to monitor the length of your workout or Count Down Mode for a programmed time limit. To operate in Count-Up Mode: Simply get on the bike and start pedaling. The console will automatically turn on and the time display will advance from zero and keep time until you finish your workout. To operate in Count Down Mode: Turn on the console by pressing the RESET button.

B2U/B2R BIKE Developing a Fitness Program Warm Up: Warming up is an extremely important phase, but unfortunately, itʼs often an activity that is ignored. Painful frustrating muscle pulls or strains may result from not warming up properly. There are two goals for warm up: warming up the muscles of the back and the extremities (so that you can stretch them without injury), and slight acceleration of the heart rate so the body can move gradually into the target heart rate zone.
B2U/B2R BIKE FLEXIBILITY Adequate flexibility is the ability to move your limbs and joints easily (through a complete range of motion) the way you need to in order to meet the challenges of daily life. Fortunately, there ís a positive reinforcing cycle between flexibility and activity. Adequate flexibility enables you to maintain an active lifestyle, and an active lifestyle makes an important contribution to maintaining adequate flexibility. These relationships grow stronger the older we become.
