USAGE GUIDE
STAMINA® OUTDOOR STRIDER
Starting your workout
Getting the most out of your Stamina® Outdoor Strider
Striders offer the benet of a low-impact workout, while exercising both your
upper and lower body. Since your feet never leave the pedals, your feet
don’t strike the ground so there is less stress and strain on your joints. It is like
walking or running in midair. In comparison, when you walk or run, every step
causes a jolt to your body that affects not only the joints in your legs, but
also your lower back. Enjoy the benets of the dual-action handlebars for an
upper and lower body workout or the stationary hand grip for lower body
only.
The Workout
With a strider, you work your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, chest, back, triceps, biceps and more. The obvious benet from exercising more
muscles is that you tone more of your body while you burn more calories and fat--in less time. To get the full benet of the dual action workout,
it is important that you distribute the resistance between your upper and lower body. Many people who exercise on an strider place most of the
resistance on their lower body and only go through the motions with the upper handlebars.
• Wear appropriate footwear.
• Begin pedaling slowly with little or no resistance.
• Using the dual-action handlebars will give you a full-body workout, but it also of the emphasis away from your lower body.
• The strider’s stationary hand grip is there help you keep your balance when working lower body only.
• To get a better workout on your core and legs, drop your hands to your sides. This will demand more work on your core muscles as you strive to
maintain balance while pedaling.
• Always cool down and stretch following your strider session.

Stand and stride actively. Look forward with your head up and
balanced. You should be standing up tall with feet on the pedals,
grasping the dual-action handlebars or stationary hand grip.
Be careful when climbing on and off the strider. The pedals will
move when you put your weight on them, so always grab the
stationary hand grip for balance, and step on or off the pedals.
