User manual KOMPERNASS KH 6002 SWING STEPPER

[. . . ] With the stepper you can raise your fitness, improve your circulation and increase your calorie consumption. Furthermore, you can strengthen your muscles using the elastic ropes. The stepper simulates stair climbing in which your leg and buttock muscles are trained. With the additional elastic ropes you also have the opportunity to strengthen your arm and shoulder muscles. [. . . ] You can relieve your muscles by shaking out your arms and legs. Please only perform the exercises shown and described in these instructions. Before starting training, make sure you set up the stepper in a location that provides you with enough free space in which to train. Wear comfortable clothes made from breathable fabrics. Your clothing should be close-fitting so that it does not get caught in the moving parts of your stepper and so that it does not become a nuisance when you are training your arm muscles using the elastic ropes. Wear sports shoes with a non-slip sole during training ­ do not train barefoot. Make sure the soles of your feet are in full contact with the treads of the pedals to avoid injury. Do not stand too far back on the pedals and do not pull too vigorously on the elastic ropes. Make sure the room in which you are training is well aired but avoid draughts since they can quickly cause you to catch a cold. Due to the swing effect, the pedal treads not only move up and down but also swing out to the left and right. Your leg and buttock muscles are trained primarily during the exercises without the elastic ropes. Exercises involving stepping as well as pulling on the elastic ropes will strengthen your buttocks, legs, arms and shoulder muscles. Exercises in which you are not stepping but are using the elastic ropes will strengthen your arms and shoulder muscles. You must make sure you maintain an upright posture during training. Make absolutely sure you avoid the formation of a hollow back. When stepping steadily and evenly, the stoppers of the pedal arms should not come into contact with the base frame. Therefore, just before touching down on one side, shift your weight from one leg to the other. It can also be helpful if you allow your arms to swing at a slight angle in front of the upper part of your body in time with your step rhythm. Press one pedal right down with your foot so that the pedal arm and its stopper are resting on the base frame. Then place your foot onto the tread of the lowered pedal arm. Next, place the other foot onto the other pedal tread that is raised at an angle. With this stepper, the step motion is guided by the stepper.
