Getting Comfortable

RIDING YOUR ELLIPTICAL

SETTING YOUR WEIGHT

FOOT POSITION

ADJUSTING STRIDE LENGTH

Set your weight before every workout. This allows the Z5 Elliptical to control your workout more effectively.

The body weight setting does not affect the calorie expenditure calculation. Unlike treadmills or other weight-bearing exercises, calories burned during exercise

biking does not change with different body weights.

Place your feet anywhere on the foot pads.

Most riders prefer their feet to be as close together as possible, but choose your own position for maximum comfort.

The Z5.1's stride length can be adjusted from 18 to 24 inches. Rotate the adjustment wheel counter-clockwise to lengthen the stride, and clockwise to shorten the stride.

Most users will be comfortable near

the center of the adjustment range, from 19 to 22 inches. Slightly different muscles are used at different stride lengths, so changing stride length during your exercise may give you a better workout.
