Setup

Clip the safety key to your clothes. Stand on the side rails and start the belt slowly.

Steps

  1. Step onto the moving belt.
  2. Walk in the middle of the belt, near the front.
  3. Raise the speed or the slope a little at a time.
  4. Slow down for the last few minutes before stopping.

Breathing

Breathe in a steady rhythm. At an easy pace you can still say a short sentence.

Where you feel it

In your legs and breathing. A slope works the buttocks and calves more.

Common mistakes

  • Holding the rails while walking up a steep slope, which takes away the work.
  • Stepping off a moving belt.

When to stop

Stop if you feel sharp pain, pain in a joint, dizziness or numbness.
