TOTAL STRIDES, STRIDES/min and VERTICAL
GAIN
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.
