4. Operating Instructions
The Hip & Thigh Sculptor is designed for ease of use, allowing you to target various lower body muscles from a comfortable seated position.
4.1 Understanding Resistance
- Sculpting Piston: This mechanism primarily sculpts the front and back of your thighs, glutes, and calves. It offers resistance levels from 1 to 6.
- Sculpting Arc: This patented feature targets the inner and outer thigh muscles. It provides resistance levels from 1 (beginners) to 3 (advanced).
4.2 Adjusting Resistance Levels
Resistance levels are typically adjusted using dials or sliding handles located near the respective mechanisms. Start with a lower resistance level (e.g., Level 1) and gradually increase as your strength improves. Ensure the resistance is set evenly on both sides if applicable.

4.3 Performing Exercises
Sit comfortably on the padded seat with your back supported. Your feet should be placed firmly on the footrests.
- Outer Thighs and Hips: Engage the Sculpting Arc. Push your legs outwards against the resistance, then slowly return to the starting position. Focus on controlled movements.
- Inner Thighs: Engage the Sculpting Arc. Pull your legs inwards against the resistance, then slowly release. Maintain a steady pace.
- Front and Back Thighs, Glutes, and Calves: Engage the Sculpting Piston. Perform a leg press motion, extending your legs forward, then slowly bending them back. This movement also helps lift glutes and shape calves.
Perform each exercise with proper form and controlled movements. Avoid jerky motions. Aim for 10-minute sessions daily, as suggested by the manufacturer, or as advised by your fitness professional.
