T hr ough r esear ch per f or med with a leading spor ts scien tist and ph y sical r ehabilita tion e xper t;
eng ineering has dev eloped a breakthrough in pedal desig n. No other elliptical , a t an y pr ic e , off ers this
unique f eatur e . T he histor y of elliptical use over the past few y ears t ells us tha t man y users suff er fr om

T ogether we iden tified the inher ent problem in elliptical designs and developed a solution t o solv e the
pr
oblem. W ha t w e f ound is tha t when you use an elliptical y ou tend to push out w ar d during the po w er
str oke and not just str aigh t back . T his causes str ess on the out er part of the f oot and thr o w s off the
na tur al alig nmen t of the join ts . O ur solution w as simple but eff ec tiv e:
 W e added a 2- deg r ee in w ar d angle t o the f ootpads . T his migh t sound simple but wha t it does is
puts the users joints back in t o a neutral alig nmen t . T his eases the ov er str essing of the ank les ,
k nees and hips .
R AMP INCLINE ADJUSTMENT
T he has an incline f eature tha t will further increase the var iet y of y our w or kouts . When the incline is a t its
lo w est position you get a normal elliptical wor kout . A s the incline incr eases y ou will feel y our knees r ise
higher with each step; which means you are
in v olving mor e muscle fibers, due t o the incr eased r ange of motion.
T he has a c omput er c on tr olled po w er incline . T he po w er incline is c on tr olled by butt ons on the c onsole
and will aut oma tically adjust via the incline motor dur ing the built -in w or kout pr og r am.
