Exercise Description

The elliptical exercise builds leg strength while giving you great cardio. It's low-impact so your joints stay happy while you burn calories and tone your lower body.

How To

1. Step onto the elliptical and grab the handles with both hands 2. Start pedaling slowly to get your rhythm - let the elliptical motion guide your feet 3. Keep your core tight and stand tall as you increase your speed 4. Push and pull the handles while your legs work on the elliptical pedals 5. Keep a steady pace for your target time then slow down gradually to finish

Form Tips

• Keep your feet flat on the elliptical pedals - don't lift your heels • Stand up straight and engage your core throughout the elliptical workout • Let the machine guide your movement rather than fighting against it • Keep your knees slightly bent and pointing forward

Common Mistakes

• Leaning too far forward on the elliptical handles instead of staying upright • Going too fast too soon which breaks down your elliptical form • Only using your arms and not engaging your legs properly
