Stride Length Quick Keys (18”, 20”, 22”, 24” & 26”) : There are 6 stride control quick keys,
press one of the 18” – 26” keys to adjust to desired stride length. You may change the stride length
anytime during a workout. Selected stride length will be shown on the stride length display window. A
user will want to adjust the stride length for a few reasons. First reason is for height, a user at or below
5’5” may feel more comfortable with 18” to 22” stride and a user at or above 5’5” may feel more
comfortable with 22” to 26” stride to compensate for their normal step/walking stride. In addition, as a
user increases speed, they may need to adjust the stride length to compensate for his or her normal
jog/run stride.
Note: There is no right or wrong stride length for any user, choose any length according
to what feels most comfortable. Next reason why a user may want to adjust the stride length during a
workout is to work different muscle groups; a shorter stride length will work different muscles in your
legs and body than a longer stride length. An 18” stride can be comparable to a shorter stepping motion
and 26” stride can be compared to a lunge workout without the high impact as the same workouts
performed on a flat surface. While working out, adjusting resistance and or squatting while holding on to
the handlebars can also help to isolate these muscles further.
Note: Always consult a local personal
trainer for more in depth work out details.
NOTE : When the stride motor is activated, you will hear the motor unlock and adjust, once motor is to
desired stride, the motor will click to lock position.
