An elliptical machine with an adjustable stride can cater to varying leg lengths, ensuring that each individual can select a stride that mimics their natural walking or running gait. This adaptability promotes ergonomic exercising, minimises risk of injury, and can make the workout feel more comfortable.
Here is an overview of how stride lengths vary:
-
Short stride lengths (18 inches or less): Ideal for users of a petite build or those who prefer a stepper-like motion.
-
Medium stride lengths (18 to 20 inches): Suitable for the average user, providing a balance between walking and jogging motions.
-
Long stride lengths (20 inches and above): Best for taller individuals or those seeking a full, running-like stride.
