Dual Action Handlebars
Place your hands midway between the top and bottom
of the left and right arms on the dual action handlebars
Adjust your hands up and down slightly to find the
position most comfortable for you Bend your elbows
slightly so that your arms are not hyperextended or
"locked out' Use a firm grip but try to avoid "white
knuckles" As your legs move in the elliptical motion,
pump your arms back and forth as if you were walking .
Using the dual action handlebars will work your upper
body in addition to your lower body. By using the dual
action handlebars, you are recruiting more muscles
which will both elevate your heart rate and burn more
calories than simply doing a lower body workout
