How to use smartstride
Beginning exercisers to elite athletes can take advantage of these unmatched interactive ergonomics with the
press of the SmartStride button. Begin by choosing any program or QuickStart. Once you begin pedaling at a
comfortable pace, press the SmartStride button.
Your PRO4500 will take 10 seconds to analyze your speed. During this time, find a comfortable speed for your
workout. At the end of the 10-second speed analysis, your average speed (in RPM) will be displayed blinking
in the speed window. This number will be used as your average speed and will be noted as the basis for stride
length adjustment.
You’re done – it is that simple. Your PRO4500 is ready for your SmartStride workout. The faster you go, the longer
the stride length becomes. For every 5 RPM increase or decrease, the stride changes 1 inch (3 cm). Go backwards
and the stride length automatically decreases 3 inches (9 cm) (based on initial stride length when SmartStride
was activated). For ultimate control, or if you don’t like the stride length for any reason, simply change the stride
length using the console Stride (+/-) buttons.
