4. EXERCISE ADVICE
To prevent injuries and improve performance, start each training session with a warm-up. To
safely step onto the stepper, we recommend that beginners follow these steps.
1. Place the machine between a door or in front of a high-backed chair.
2. Hold the door or the back of the chair without climbing onto the machine.
3. Then, place one foot on the pedal and press down so that it touches the base.
4. Step up on the pedal and place the other foot on the second pedal.
5. Initiate upward and downward movements with both feet gradually.
6. Progress as you gain confidence in the bi-directional movement of the machine.

5. INFORMATION ON EXERCISING
A proper workout should consist of the following three phases:
-
Warm-up: consists of a session of stretching and low-intensity exercise lasting 5 to 10
minutes. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation
in preparation for exercise. Fig. 8
-
Training: consists of 20 to 30 minutes of exercise. (Note: during the first few weeks of
exercise do not keep your heart rate high for more than 20 minutes). Fig. 9
-
Cool-down: consists of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching exercises. This will increase the
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent injuries. Fig. 8
