Body Positioning

Comfort is a key issue to obtain the most beneﬁcial

exercise, and a upright body posture will result in a

broader range of muscle recruitment.

Seat Height

The seat height should be positiioned so that the legs

are not hyperextended, and have a slight bend in the

knee when at the bottom of the pedal stroke.

Fore-Aft Seat Position

The Fore-Aft position should be set so that your hips

are behind the pedal crank, and your body is in a

balanced state. You should be able to stay in balance

without gripping the handlebar. Moving the seat

forward or backwards will change the relationship of

the seat height, so readjustment of seat height may

be necessary.

Gripping the Handlebar

Position the seat so that your grip on the handlebar is

light and comfortable. The SCIFIT bike has a handlebar

that allows several gripping positions. Moving hand

positions during a workout will help reduce stress

points and upper body tension.
