Getting started
You can exercise nearly all your body with this swing
stepper. Besides up and down, the exercise motion
also goes sideways. This means that you will tone
your hips, buttocks and stomach as well as the inner
and outer muscles of your thighs in particular. The
elastic cords

are to help you improve your upper
arm muscle strength while exercising.
Carefully read all safety and health care instructions
through.

always warm up and relax your muscles before
doing any exercise.

your muscles before you start exercising.
