Elliptical instructions

Step-by-step instructions

1

Step onto the elliptical trainer and place your feet flat in the large pedal areas.

2

Grasp the handles lightly with your fingers, not the palm of your hand to avoid blisters.

3

Look forward and keep your spine straight. Do not lean forward or back as this can lead to improper form.

4

Use your entire foot, not just your toes. This promotes balance and works out a broader range of muscles.

5

Start to move your feet in a forward motion, mimicking all the motions of running, walking or hiking.
