Preparing to Exercise

Workload Adjustment
The workload adjustment
lever is located on the right
side of the NuStep. To in-
crease workload, push the
lever forward. To decrease,
pull lever backward. The 10
different workload settings
appear on the display. The
workload is speed depen-
dent, meaning, as you step
faster, the resistance in-
creases.
CAUTION
!
This product has arms
and pedals that move
during operation.
To avoid injury due
to contact with these
moving parts, use
caution while making
adjustments during
operation.
Step Length
The NuStep allows you
to determine your own
desired range of motion.
The maximum step length
is approximately 8.5 inches
(22 centimeters). For smaller
ranges of motion, simply
take shorter steps.
As shown above, your arm and leg should
have a slight bend at the fully extended point
of the stroke.
Foot Position
The NuStep's stepping
action works virtually all leg
muscles. Instead of pushing
with your whole foot, which
works your quadriceps and
hamstring muscles, push
with the balls of your feet
to work your calf muscles.
