How to perform this exercise

  1. Step onto the elliptical machine and set the incline to a high level (8-10 or maximum available).
  2. Grip the stationary handlebars and begin pedaling at a moderate pace.
  3. High incline increases glute and hamstring activation, simulating a stair-climbing motion.
  4. Keep your chest up, avoid hunching forward.
  5. Maintain a steady pace for 15-30 minutes at a moderate resistance.
  6. Reduce incline and pace to cool down for the final 3-5 minutes.
