How to measure the correct stride length for your elliptical trainer. Here’s how.

This guide will help you measure your stride length and make sure you choose the right elliptical trainer for you.

Stride length is the distance you cover with a normal step. On an elliptical trainer, it refers to the maximum distance the pedals travel during a complete movement.

Why is this important when buying an elliptical trainer?

For your comfort: The right stride length creates a natural feeling while you work out. If it is too short or too long, your workout may be uncomfortable or even harmful.

For the effectiveness of your workout: The right stride length helps you work your muscles more effectively and improves your cardio workout.

Measuring your personal stride length:

• Stand upright and take a normal step.
• Measure the distance from the tip of your front foot to the tip of your back foot. This is your natural stride length.

Checking the stride length on the elliptical trainer:

Check the product page in the online shop to see which stride length is listed.
