A beginner training could be organised as follows during the first
four weeks:

Prior to and after every training unit gymnastic exercises lasting
approx. 5 minutes serve for warming up and/or cooling down.
There should be a day without training between two training units,

if you later on prefer to train three times a week for 20 – 30 mi-
nutes each. Otherwise nothing can be said against a daily trai-
ning.
Sequence of motions (cross training)
Through the elliptical rotation of the step boards and the arran-
gement of the grip bars the sequence of motions during cross trai-
ning is already predetermined. Nevertheless, pay attention to the
following items:
■ Prior to training always pay attention to the correct installation
and positioning of the device.
■ When mounting the device one step board has to be in the bot-
tom most and the other in the top most position. Grasp the grip
bars with both hands and mount the lower step board first.
When dismounting from the device, first relieve the upper bo-
ard.
■ Set the step boards at your optimal distance to the grip bars.
Pay attention to having sufficient leg-room towards the grip
bars.
■ Train with appropriate sports shoes and pay attention to having
a safe foothold on the step boards.
■ Hold tight at the grip bracket between the movable grip bars, if
you only want to train the lower part of your body. (Do not train
no-handed.)
■ Try to achieve a uniform, round sequence of motions.
■ Set the brake resistance at the control knob under the cockpit
according to your individual requirements.
■ During training vary between forward and backward motions
of the step boards in order to strain leg and gluteal muscles in
a different manner.
A regular training can increase your stamina, your force and thus
also your well-being. Training success is optimised by a healthy
way of life which is determined by a well-balanced, high-quality
nourishment.
