TOTAL STRIDES—shows the total number of strides completed, which is always an even number since two strides create one complete revolution of the flywheel. A stride is an exaggerated walking movement. On the EFX, if you start in a position with one foot pedal forward, a stride is completed when you move the rear foot pedal all the way forward while the other foot pedal moves to the rear.
STRIDES/min—displays the number of strides you complete in a minute up to a maximum value of 510 strides per minute. A stride is an exaggerated walking movement. If you start in a position with one foot plate forward, a stride is completed when you move the rear foot pedal all the way forward while the other foot plate moves to the rear. Two strides create one complete revolution of the flywheel. So, the value that appears on the display is always an even number between 20 and 510. The average, effective pace is between 100 to 150 strides per minute.
VERTICAL GAIN—displays an estimate of your cumulative vertical gain in feet or meters based on your CrossRamp level, resistance level, weight, and caloric expenditure. You can use the VERTICAL GAIN display as a unique motivational unit of measurement and realize your fitness goals by varying the elliptical motion of the EFX. Higher CrossRamp and resistance levels will result in greater vertical gain.
