How to do it

Setup

Seat set so the knee stays soft at the bottom of the stroke; grip the moving handles.

Steps

  1. Pedal and drive the handles together, arms and legs sharing.
  2. Hold a pace you can sustain, or interval hard/easy.
  3. Log minutes and calories.

Common mistakes

Legs-only riding: the fan bike PAYS for full-body effort; push and pull. Slumping over the handles: tall chest, the arms drive. Sprinting from cold: the fan punishes; warm in first.

Breathing

Steady; let it rise with the pace.
