Exercising Information
TRAINING PROGRAMME
To begin using your Micra Stepper, carefully place one foot
centrally on each Step Arm. Adopt a comfortable position, placing
your hands slightly forwards of your chest or down by the sides of the
thigh to aid balance.
Start exercising by lifting one foot at a time as if you were walking up
stairs or climbing a hill. Push down gently with either foot and you will
feel that Step Arm start to sink towards the floor. Release the weight
or pressure on the pushing foot and transfer the weight to the
opposite foot. Alternate this in a smooth rhythmic action, always
trying to maintain a straight back posture.
Your upper body stance can be
varied during exercise to
increase or reduce the intensity
of stretch in the calf and lower
thigh muscles.
Note
Exercise 1
Exercising with your feet fully
positioned and flat on the Step
Arms will primarily benefit thigh
and upper leg muscles.
Exercise 2
Exercising with just your toes
placed near the end of the Step
Arms, will primarily benefit the
lower legs, Achilles and calf
muscles.
