Stair Climber
Step onto the stair climber and start at a slow speed to find your rhythm. Stand tall, keep light contact with the handles for balance only — do not lean on them. Drive through the heel of each step and step at a steady cadence. Increase speed or duration over time. Keep your gaze forward and core engaged.
