5. TRAINING TIPS

Exercise guide

Training frequency
At the beginning, we recommend training every other day on the stepper. Beginners
can start with a 5 minute program, then increase to 10 minutes and later to 30 (without
interruption or divided into 3x 10 minute phases). If your fitness level is already very high,
you can train every day. But always remember to listen to your own body.
The right step technique
After mounting the stepper (see "First steps"), it is important to note where each pedal's
end stop is. While training, do not push the pedals to their end stop with each step.
Instead shift your body weight accordingly before the pedals reach the end stop.

Free swinging
Easy cardiovascular training.
Slowly begin swinging your arms at your sides, like
when walking normally. Swing your arms higher to
increase the intensity of training.
Do not swing your arms higher until you have found a
comfortable, easy rhythm.
Deltoid muscle training
Cardiovascular training that also trains and tones your
shoulder muscles.
While stepping, hold both arms bent at the elbows at
your sides. With each step with your right or left leg on
a pedal, raise an arm forward to shoulder height. When
you step with the other foot on the pedal, return your
outstretched arm to its original position while raising
the other forward to shoulder height.
