Getting the most out of your SlimStriderX™ workout
The SlimStriderX™ offers a challenging lower-body workout that also improves
your cardiovascular fitness. You will work and tone every part of your legs--
thighs, hips, hamstrings and calves—while you exercise your heart and lungs.
The SlimStriderX™ stride suspends you in the air while you move, so while the
forward motion closely resembles walking and running, there is no jarring
impact that might cause injury. The arcing steps that never let you touch the
ground keep your workout safe and comfortable.
The SlimStriderX™ can be used in a scissor motion, a lateral motion, a circular
motion, and a skating motion. You will tone and strengthen your inner and
outer thighs along with your quads and calves.
While standing on the floor behind the pedals,
place both hands on the handles and hold the
handles firmly. Then, place your dominant foot (if
you are right handed this will be your right foot)
on the corresponding foot pedal. Then step up,
without pulling back on the handles, and place
your non-dominant foot on the open pedal.
The foot pedals have a non-skid surface that
offers plenty of stability. While working out, it is
important to look down at the position of your
feet periodically to make sure your feet are
always in the center of each pedal.
fItnESS monItor
The SlimStriderX™ monitor has extra features
that will help you track your progress to keep
you motivated. It tracks basic fitness data: time,
count, calories, total count, and can be set
to scan all stats while you work out. Complete
monitor instructions are on page 13.
folD AnD StorE
The SlimStriderX™ can be folded and stored away
in a corner or closet. Please see page 15 of the
manual for folding and storage instructions.
