Footpads
The Foot pedals are adjustable to meet the user’s style of
pedaling the elliptical. There are three positions available
with a simple pull-pin adjustment located under the footpads
(see illustration below).The lowest position will set the
footpads at zero (0) degrees, or flat at the bottom of the
elliptical stroke. The second position sets the footpad at five
(5) degrees and the top position sets the footpads at ten (10)
degrees. Because everybody is different, we found there is
no one angle that fits every user. Some users are up on the
balls of their feet, resulting in numb toes, so we decided to
allow the user to adjust the back of the foot pad upward to support the heel, taking the pressure off
of the nerves in the balls of the feet and the Achilles tendon. The result was relief from the toes
going numb. Some users are uncomfortable at a fixed angle, therefore we added the adjustable
pedal angles so they could find one that feels best for them. A great side benefit of the adjustable
footpad angle is that you end up working the muscles of the lower extremities in a different way. At
the highest angle, you will work the quadriceps more. At the lowest angle, you work the hamstrings
and
glutes
harder.
