HOW TO USE THE AIR STRIDER

CAUTION: When you are getting onto and off the AIR STRIDER, always tighten the resis- tance dials, hold the handles firmly, and be sure that your body weight is centered directly over the pedals.

EXERCISING ON THE AIR STRIDER

Make sure that the lock knob is tightened into the right leg and pivot bracket (see assembly step 10 on page 8). Tighten the resistance dials, hold the handles, and step onto the pedals. The proper form for exercising on the AIR STRIDER is similar to the motion of walkingÑmove one leg forward as you move the other leg back.

For a full body workout, hold the handles as you walk, and move your arms and legs in motion with the han- dles and pedals. To vary the effect of the exercise on your muscles, change your stance on the AIR STRIDER. For example, stand erect or lean against the hip pad, change the position of your hands on the handles, or bend your legs slightly instead of keeping them straight.

For a lower body workout, rest your hands on the frame for balance as you move the pedals.
