Warning
Run Forma and Spazio Forma are to be used solely for its intended purpose, i.e. to simulate walking and running. Any other use is considered improper.
Step on the treadmill from the rear, looking forward, and put your feet on the
footrests on either side. In this rest position hold on to the side grip with one
hand, using the other hand to operate the control panel.
When the treadmill starts up, hold on to the grips with both hands and start
walking slowly.
The grips make it safer when you first use the equipment; later on, however, it's
better to walk or run without any support, to improve your balance and posture.
At a speed of about 6-7 km/h, the fast walking becomes a gentle run, with
gradually lengthening steps. The speed will increase gradually as you feel
more sure and stable.
