Using the Bowex™ JRNY™ App on your Portable Device (Optional)
ThoughtheBowex™JRNY™Appkeepstrackofallyourworkouts,alongwithyourtotalcaloriesburned,time,andmoreonthemachine,youcan
alsoaccessallofyourinformationremotelyonyourowndevice.SimplydownloadtheApptoyourdeviceandaccessyourprole.
1. Downloadthefreeapp,named“Bowex™JRNY™App
". The app is available on Google Play™ and the App Store.
Note: For a complete list of supported devices, review the app on the App Store or Google Play.
2. FollowtheinstructionsontheapptosyncyourdevicetoyourBowex™JRNY™account.
When your device has access to the account, you will be able to review workouts, coaching tips*, and upcoming workouts.
USB Charging
If a USB Device is attached to the USB Port, the Port will attempt to charge the Device. The power supplied from the USB Port may not be enough to
operate the Device and charge it at the same time.
Media Rack (Optional Accessory)
AnoptionalaccessorycanbeaddedtoyourtnessmachinethatwillholdadditionalmediaabovetheConsole.The
optional Media Rack easily attaches to your machine, adding more space for media and devices.
To order the optional Media Rack, contact Customer Service (if in US/Canada) or your local distributor (if outside
US/Canada).
Contact Heart Rate Sensors
Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stain-
less steel parts of the Handlebars. To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands
touchboththetopandthebottomofthesensors.Holdrm,butnottootightorloose.Bothhandsmustmakecon-
tact with the sensors for the Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.
Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now validate the heart rate.
Manyfactorsinuencetheabilityofthesensorstodetectyourheartratesignal:
Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight
hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.
Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.
Theproximityofotherelectronicmachinescangenerateinterference.
Use the values calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only.
Bluetooth
®
Heart Rate Armband
YourtnessmachineisprovidedwithaBluetooth
®
Heart Rate Armband. When the Bluetooth
®
Heart Rate Armband is connected, the Console will display the Bluetooth
®
Heart Rate Device
icon.
If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor
before using a Bluetooth
®
armband or other Bluetooth

heart rate monitor.

The Heart Rate Armband should be worn on the upper portion of your forearm, with the Heart Rate Sensor to
the inside of your forearm. It should be snug enough not to move around on your arm, but not so tight that it
restricts blood circulation.
Note: Be sure to remove the protective cover from the Heart Rate Sensor before use.

How Often Should You Exercise
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short
of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the
machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed on the console is an approximation and should be used
for reference only.
3 times a week for about 14 minutes each day.
Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule.
Note: Ifyouarenewtoexercise(orreturningtoaregularexerciseprogram),andyouareunabletocomfortablycomplete14minutesofcon-
tinuousexerciseatonetime,justdo5–10minutes,andgraduallyincreaseyourworkouttimeuntilyoucanreacha14minutetotal.
Intensity of Workout
To increase the intensity of your workout:
Push yourself to increase the number of Pedal revolutions per minute.
Place your feet further out toward the rear of the Pedals.
Increase the Intensity Level and keep your RPM consistent, or increase it as well.
Use your upper and lower body at different levels.
Shift your grip location on the Handlebars to work out other parts of your upper body.
Hand Placement (Grip Selection)
ThistnessmachineisequippedwithmultipleHandlebarswhichallowforavarietyofdifferenttypesofworkouts.Asyouprogressonyourtness
routine, shift your hand placement to target different muscle groups.
Exercise on this machine requires coordination and balance. Be sure to anticipate that changes in speed and resistance level can
occur during workouts, and be attentive in order to avoid loss of balance and possible injury.
The Dynamic Handlebars allow for a variety of upper body workouts. When starting out, place your hands where it feels most comfortable and stable
on the Dynamic Handlebars.
The Static Handlebars below the Console Assembly can also be used to add stability during a workout, as well as provide your heart rate.
For a workout focused on legs, lean in until your forearms run along the Aerobars with your hands upward. When leaning in, be aware of the motion
of the Dynamic Handlebars during the workout.
Mounting and Dismounting Your Machine
Care should be used when mounting or dismounting the machine.
Be aware that the Pedals and the Handlebars are connected and when either of these parts move the other does as well. In order to
avoid possible serious injury, grasp the Static Handlebars to steady yourself.
Be sure there is nothing under the Pedals or in the Air Resistance Fan before moving anything on the machine.
Tomountyourtnessmachine:
1. Move the Pedals until the one nearest to you is in the lowest position.
2. Grasp the Static Handlebars under the Console Assembly.
3. Steadying yourself with the Static Handlebars, step up onto the lowest Pedal and place your other foot onto the opposite Pedal.

also a great option.
