The movement, step by step.

  1. Adjust the seat so the knee stays slightly bent at the bottom of the pedal stroke and grasp the handles securely.
  2. Pedal and move the handles together at a sustainable cadence; the fan resistance rises as you work harder.
  3. Ease the pace gradually to finish, and stop the equipment before stepping off when applicable.

Technique cues

  • Start at an easy pace before increasing effort.
  • Use a pace that lets you maintain your technique.

Common mistakes

  • Increasing pace or resistance before warming up.
  • Continuing when fatigue makes the movement uncontrolled.

Educational guidance, not an individual training prescription. Start with a manageable load, work within a comfortable range, and stop if a movement causes pain. Ask a qualified coach for help with an unfamiliar setup. Practice the technique before increasing load. Repetitions and working weight depend on your goals, experience, and individual needs.
