1. 1

   Step on and start at a slow speed to find your rhythm.

2. 2

   Stand tall and take full steps rather than short choppy ones.

3. 3

   Rest your hands lightly on the rails, or not at all.

4. 4

   Build to your target pace and hold it, then cool down slowly.

• ★Leaning your weight on the handrails is the classic way to make this far easier than it looks.
• ★Full steps, whole foot on the step - toe-tapping cheats the glutes out of the work.
