1. Setup: Adjust the elliptical machine to your desired resistance level and stride length. Step onto the pedals, facing the console.
2. Grip: Grasp the handles with a firm grip, keeping your arms slightly bent and relaxed.
3. Starting Position: Stand upright with your feet flat on the pedals, engage your core, and keep your back straight.
4. Execution: Begin moving your legs in a smooth, elliptical motion, pushing the pedals forward and backward. Simultaneously, move the handles in sync with your leg movements to engage your upper body.
5. Return: Maintain a steady pace and proper form throughout your workout. Cool down by gradually reducing the resistance and slowing your pace before stepping off the machine.
