How to do it

Stay upright, full foot plant, hands moving with the handles rather than gripping the fixed bar. Low impact and very little interference with strength, so it is a reasonable choice for recovery days or warm-ups. Raise the resistance before the speed: flailing at nothing does not count.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
