When you are ready to begin your workout, be sure your equipment is set
up correctly and you’ve warmed up adequately as demonstrated in the
video. Then begin with the first exercise and continue through all of the
exercises in one continuous cycle, unless you need to take a break. We
recommend that you perform 20 - 40 gliding repetitions of each exercise.
A single repetition is counted when both legs have glided forward and back
(R + L = 1 repetition). Take time to cool down and stretch at the end of your
workout.

gently with your arms to assist the leg motion. Maintain
good, upright posture throughout this exercise, with
your shoulders aligned directly over your hips. This
