Tutorial

Adjust the seat to your height and sit on the seat. Set the desired difficulty level (possibly specified in watts).
2

Position your feet on the footrest and grasp the handles with both hands.
3

Perform the exercise at a moderate pace.
4

Carry out the exercise until you have reached the specified time.

Tip

Adjust the seat so that your elbow is almost fully extended when the handle is in the foremost position. Perform the exercise at a moderate pace so that you can still have a good conversation with someone. Make sure you breathe evenly throughout the exercise. To find out the optimum intensity or heart rate for you, you should do an endurance test with a trained fitness instructor.
