How to do it

Typically, you can enter your age and weight to estimate the amount of calories burned during exercise. The level of resistance can be changed throughout the workout. The handles can be used to monitor your heart rate to help you stay at an appropriate intensity.
Form tips

- Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
- Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
