Exercises

• The basic exercise on the AirClimber is just to walk. Simply stepping on the Air Climber for 20 minutes each day will give you results. While you walk, there are a number of ways to use your arms. You can simply pump your arms as you do when you run or walk. If you are using the resistance bands, you can vary your arm movements to target different muscle groups. For the biceps, hold the band in your hand starting with both arms down by your side and your palms facing out. As you step, raise one or both hands to your shoulder. You can either do both arms together or alternate arms each time you step.
  
  For the shoulder, start with your hands down by your sides, holding the bands with your palms facing in. Raise your arms straight out to the sides up to your shoulder height. You can raise and lower with each step, raise and hold for a step, and lower and hold for a step.
  
  To work the abdominal muscles, stand straight up, and bring your hands to your shoulders, holding the resistance bands behind your shoulders. Tighten your abdominal muscles as you round your back and come to a standing crunch position. Your knees will bend slightly, but the movement should be initiated in your abdomen. Hold for one count, and come back up to standing.
  
  For a slim waistline, you can work your obliques by twisting as you step. Hold the resistance bands with your arms down by your sides and your palms facing up. Bend your elbows, so your forearms are parallel to the floor. Twist your upper body towards the leg that is bent as you step. With each step, your upper body will rotate.
  
  Also for the obliques, try this exercise. Start holding the resistance bands with your arms down by your sides and your palms facing back. Pick your hand up, allowing your elbow to bend outwards, and bring your hand up to the side of your chest or under your arm. As you raise your hand, allow your hips to swing out to the opposite side. Switch arms and hips with each step.
