The complicated explained
Cross Trainer – Elliptical Machine Stride Length
The stride length is the length at which your legs will travel through the cross trainer/ elliptical motion. This is important when you are considering in investing in a cross trainer/ elliptical machine, especially for taller individuals. Individuals that are 5’ 10” should opt for a cross trainer/ elliptical machine with a stride length of 16” or above.
Cross Trainer – Elliptical Machine Flywheel
This is usually located in the back of the cross trainer. If purchasing a cross trainer/ elliptical machine with just a belt, the belt sits within the wheel and the resistance is adjusted by lengthening or shortening the belt. This is a lower end specification of cross trainer/ elliptical machines. The higher end specification of cross trainer/ elliptical machines uses a magnetic resistance which is more effective and provides a smoother cross trainer/ elliptical machine experience. This type of cross trainer/ elliptical machine uses magnets around the flywheel. The resistance is usually controlled from the control panel, and moves the magnets closer or further away from the flywheel to adjust the resistance.
