How to do it
Stand on the foot platforms of the air walker and grip the handles for support. Let your legs swing forward and back in a smooth striding motion, keeping an upright posture as the machine moves your hips through the gait.
- 1Feel a steady rhythm through your hips, glutes, and legs as you stride
- 2Keep your core braced and shoulders relaxed over your hips
- 3Let the motion stay smooth and continuous rather than jerky
Common mistakes
- Do not slouch or hang your full weight on the handles
- Avoid letting your stride collapse short; move through a full range
- Do not let your knees snap straight and lock at the end of each swing
Muscles worked
The lever air walk mainly works the quads and glutes, with the hamstrings, calves, and lower back assisting.
