Sit upright, engage your core, and maintain a straight back. Push pedals through a full stroke using a forefoot drive, alternating arm pulls and handlebar pushes. Coordinate arm pushes with opposite leg pushes for a reciprocal motion, maintaining a smooth, consistent cadence.
Maintain a tight core and a straight back throughout the exercise to protect your lower back and improve stability. Keep your elbows tucked close to your body and your shoulders relaxed and down to prevent upper body strain and promote efficient power transfer. Focus on driving through the ball of your forefoot to maximize power and engage your calf muscles effectively. Synchronize your arm movements with your leg movements, pushing the handlebars as you extend your legs, to create a balanced and fluid reciprocal motion. Remember to breathe steadily and deeply to provide your muscles with oxygen and prevent fatigue.
