Pedals + Balance Bar: Grasp the balance bar handles with a
relaxed grip. This position also allows you to use the contact heart
rate monitoring system.
Exercise Arms Only: A unique feature of the CSX allows you to
exercise with your upper body only. Step off the pedals onto the
side steps. Grasp the exercise arm handles firmly and use the arms
for a pure upper-body workout.
Tip: bend your knees slightly and use shoulder and torso motion
in
addition to arm motion, resulting in more muscles being used and
allowing higher exercise workloads.
Pedals Only, No Hands: Use caution with this method, as this
requires good balance and exercise form.
Tip: Alternate the first three methods during your workout for
greater exercise variety. The special
workout guides you
how to do this (see page 21).
