Cross Trainer
Set the machine up on quick start or manual, take hold of the handles and start moving your legs in a forward running style motion. Make sure you start with the level set at its lowest setting and that you get your revolutions up to at least 60 rpm.
With the Cross Trainer the majority of the movement should come from your legs with your arms in support. Of course the more effort you put in with your arms the more they will be worked.
Once you are going at around 60 rpm (revolutions per minute) then start to put the level up. When you have found a level that pushes you but allows you to do at least 10 minutes carry on until you have completed your desired time.
You can change things a little by going in a reverse movement. This will work the same muscles but in a different way. You will find that you will need to reduce the resistance slightly.
