USER MANUAL
The following table indicates how much force is necessary to stretch the pull cables to a
certain length.
Stretched length (cm)
Force (N)
The force is shown in N (=Newton).
10 N are equivalent to approx. 1 kg in earth's gravity.
Mounting correctly:
IMPORTANT: We recommend to beginners to place the device in a door frame or in front
of a high-backed chair before mounting the side stepper the first time. The door frame or
chair back can be used to help maintain your balance and correct posture. Brace yourself
on the door frame or chair back BEFORE MOUNTING THE STEPPER, place one foot
slowly on the pedal and push down until it reaches its deepest position. Now place the
same foot in the middle of the pedal. Then place the other foot in the middle of the other
pedal and slowly begin stepping with both legs. Continue stepping until you develop a
feeling for your balance and the bidirectional sequence of motion on the side stepper.
Mounting the stepper:
Step 1:
Stand behind the stepper. Place the complete sole of your left foot on the pedal and push
it down all the way.
Step 2:
Place the complete sole of your right foot on the right pedal.
Step 3:
Begin exercising in a slow tempo with easy simple steps to become accustomed to the
motion of the side stepper.
Hint: Your goal is to achieve an even, rhythmic movement on the side stepper. Do not try
to pedal all the way down with each step.
