  1. 1
     Set your position

     Place the pad beside stable support. Master single-leg standing on the floor first; then step onto the pad while holding support.

  2. 2
     Make the movement

     Lift one foot, keep the standing knee soft and balance with eyes open. Switch sides.

  3. 3
     Breathe and control the pace

     Breathe steadily and hold a stable position. End the hold when you cannot maintain it without arching, shaking or losing balance.

  Watch out for

  Do not practise without reachable support or add weights or closed eyes as a beginner.

  Understanding the load

  Kilograms are not the main measure here. Track time, distance or repetitions as planned; choose resistance and range you can control.

  For your first use, ask staff to show you the machine settings and safety release. Stop for sharp pain. This basic guide is awaiting professional review.
