Start with a low resistance and step amplitude on the console. Step onto the pedals with feet centered and hip-width; grasp the handles lightly and stand tall with core braced. Begin the lateral pedaling motion smoothly, driving through the whole foot. Keep knees tracking over toes and hips square; avoid letting knees cave inward. Maintain a steady cadence and relaxed shoulders; do not lean on the console. Breathe rhythmically and increase resistance or cadence to reach the desired intensity. Finish by gradually reducing resistance and cadence for 2\u20133 minutes to cool down. Stop the pedals completely before stepping off safely.
