Setup
Step onto the machine and place your feet flat on the pedals. Grasp the handrails lightly for balance and stand upright with your core engaged.
How to do it
- Take full steps by allowing the pedals to descend completely before the next step.
- Keep your weight centered over your feet rather than leaning heavily on the rails.
- Maintain an upright posture with your chest lifted and shoulders back.
- Use a steady, controlled pace that allows you to sustain continuous stepping.
- Focus on pushing through your entire foot rather than just your toes.
Watch out for
- ✗Leaning too heavily on the handrails, which reduces leg engagement and calorie burn.
- ✗Taking partial steps that don't allow the pedals to reach their full range of motion.
- ✗Hunching forward at the waist instead of maintaining an upright spine position.
