As pedal platform sinks to side place other foot on opposite pedal platform. Select "quick start" or enter program. Execution Shift body weight onto highest pedal platform allowing hip and knee to straighten as it sinks outward. Simultaneously allow opposite knee and hip to flex as its pedal platform rises inward. Shift body weight to opposite side with opposite movement. Repeat.
