How to do it

Set the seat like any bike — slight knee bend at the bottom — and grip the moving handles. Drive primarily with the legs and let the arms follow, keeping the torso upright. It is brutal for intervals, so start conservatively and pace the first efforts, because the fan resistance punishes anyone who sprints out of the gate.
