Once the belt is moving smoothly, relax your grip and increase your pace gradually. Maintain an upright posture, use a natural arm swing, and allow the feet to land beneath the body. Avoid hanging from the rails or accelerating faster than you can control. Reduce your pace gradually and hold the rails as the belt comes to a stop before stepping off. The exercise develops cardiovascular fitness while engaging the calves, quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.
