How to do it

  1. Step onto the pedals with your whole foot and hold the moving handles or the fixed grips.
  2. Keep your torso upright and your weight over your feet rather than leaning on the handles.
  3. Push and pull the handles in rhythm with your legs so your whole body works.
  4. Keep your heels down and set a resistance that lets you hold a smooth, steady rhythm.

Start easy and build up gradually. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness or pressure in your chest.
