Form tips
Start with a low resistance level and gradually increase it as your fitness improves. Using too much resistance too soon can lead to muscle strain and injury. On the other hand, too little resistance won't give you the desired workout results.
Your feet should be flat on the pedals with your toes pointing straight ahead. Avoid pointing your toes in or out as it can strain your ankles and knees.
Maintain a consistent speed throughout the workout. Pedaling too fast can lead to loss of control and injury, while pedaling too slow can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
