5.1 Getting Started

• Step onto the pedals one foot at a time, holding onto the handlebars for balance.
• Begin a smooth, elliptical motion, coordinating arm and leg movements.

The Dripex Elliptical features 16 precise magnetic resistance levels. Rotate the tension control knob located on the console mast to increase (clockwise) or decrease (counter-clockwise) the resistance. Higher numbers indicate greater resistance.

5.3 Dual Handlebar Design

This elliptical offers two handlebar options for versatile training:

• Fixed Short Handlebars: Use these to stabilize your core and focus on lower body muscles (glutes, legs). Ideal for beginners or core strengthening.
• Moving Long Handlebars: Engage upper body muscles while enhancing torso stability, increasing overall calorie burn. Perfect for intermediate users.
