Step at a comfortable speed that allows you to stay in the middle pedal range. That is, the pedals should not touch the floor except at the beginning or end of the workout, or during a rest period. After learning to stairstep comfortably, you can experiment by adjusting your step height from short, fast steps to long, deep ones. To dismount, stand still and allow the pedals to settle to the floor. Repeat for the other foot.
