Using The Equipment - Technogym SYNCHRO User Manual

Using the equipment

Step onto the equipment from one side and put one foot on each pedal.Grasp one of the fixed
handgrips with one hand, and with the other set a program on the control panel.
To perform the movement with your lower limbs only, hold on to the fixed handgrips. To perform
movement with your arms as well, hold the levers.
At the beginning move slowly until you become familiar with the equipment and acquire balance.
It is important that you get used to the movement without leaning forward and assuming
unnatural positions.
Once you become more confident, gradually increase the effort level.
Constantly check your position: head held high, shoulders in line with the hips, abdomen
sucked in and trunk erect. To maintain correct posture you must keep legs and feet parallel
and gaze straight ahead.
Warning
Any distractions in the area around the equipment may cause the user to lose
his/her balance.
Synchro is to be used solely for its intended purpose, i.e. for aerobic exercise of the
legs and arms. Any other use of the equipment is to be considered improper and
therefore dangerous.
