The stride up and down keys can be pressed any time the machine is on. The stride up and
down keys are used to adjust the length of the stride from 18 inches to 24 inches. The stride
length can be adjusted in one inch increments so there are 7 total adjustments (18", 19", 20",
21", 22", 23", 24").
Note:
One key press is needed for each stride adjustment. Do not press and hold.

When the stride is adjusted the activity zone display is changed
in three separate areas. The first display change is digital stride
length. This is where the numeric value for stride is displayed
such as 18 inches. The second display change for stride length
is the graphical bars located on the right side of the display.
The bottom bar represents a stride length of 18 inches while
the top bar represents a stride length of 24 inches. The third
display change for stride length is the ergo-person. When the
stride is adjusted the ergo-person's leg position change at cer-
tain stride ranges and the target muscle groups at that stride
length blink. While all lower body muscles are engaged during
exercise, specific stride length ranges better target specific
muscle groups. At the shorter stride lengths of 18-19 inches the
targeted muscle groups are the calf and quadriceps. At the mid
stride lengths of 20-22 inches the targeted muscle groups are the quadriceps and hamstrings. At the longest stride
lengths, 23-24 inches, the hamstrings and the gluteus are the targeted muscle groups.
Note:
The display will not change when pedaling forward or reverse. When pedaling forward the calf and quadriceps
muscles are more active and when pedaling in reverse the hamstring and gluteus muscles are more active.
