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.
