i Instructions

  1. 1. Starting position: Adjust the seat height so that your leg is nearly fully extended at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Grip the handlebars firmly, keep your torso upright, and engage your core.
  2. 2. Execution: Begin pedaling at a steady, moderate pace. Maintain consistent pressure on the pedals throughout the entire rotation, avoiding excessive hip swaying.
  3. 3. Breathing and safety: Breathe rhythmically and avoid holding your breath. Ensure your knees track in a straight line and do not cave inward.
