Instructions

1. Adjust the seat: Start by adjusting the seat of the recumbent bike to ensure that your legs will have a slight bend in the knee when fully extended during pedaling.

2. Sit down: Sit down on the seat and place your feet on the pedals.

3. Start pedaling: Begin pedaling at a comfortable speed to warm up your muscles. Adjust the pedal resistance as necessary to create a slight challenge without causing strain.

4. Maintain smooth pedaling: Focus on a smooth pedaling motion, pushing down and pulling up in a continuous cycle to simulate walking or marching while reclined.

5. Posture: Keep your back pressed gently against the backrest and hold onto the handles if provided, maintaining an upright posture.

6. Continue as needed: Continue pedaling for the desired duration or distance, increasing the resistance as you build stamina and strength.

7. Cool down: To finish, gradually slow down your pedaling to cool down, and then stop the motion completely before dismounting the bike.
