EX 90 PLUS
There are different reasons for a user wanting to change the stride length. First because
of the height. A user who is smaller than 1.65m could feel more comfortable with a
stride length of 18” (approx. 46 cm) to 22” (approx. 56 cm), while a user who is taller than
1.65 cm could feel more comfortable with a stride length of 22”(approx. 56 cm) to 26”
(approx. 66 cm), because they can compensate for their stride length. Furthermore, a
user must adjust the stride length with higher speeds in order to compensate for their
normal stride length while jogging/running. Another reason why a user may want
to change the stride length during training is so that different muscle groups can be
worked; a short stride length is demanding for different muscles in the legs and body
than a long stride length. A stride length of 18” (approx. 46 cm) can be compared with
a shorter kick motion and a stride length of 26” (approx. 66 cm) with a lunge without
high stress, which would cause the same movement on a flat surface.
During training, adjusting the resistance or doing squats while holding on to the
handle bars helps to isolate these muscles.
Note:
There is no right or wrong stride length for every usage. Select the stride length
where you feel the most comfortable.
Note:
Always contact a personal coach on-site for extensive training details.
Note:
If the stride length motor is activated, you will hear how the motor unlocks and
gets set. As soon as the motor has reached the desired stride length, you will hear a
click and the motor will lock into the corresponding position.
