Features

Adjustable foot pedals, and correctly aligned orthopedic foot pads

Through research performed with

a leading sports scientist

and

physical

rehabilitation expert; Spirit

engineering

has developed a breakthrough in

pedal

design. No

other

elliptical, at any price, offers

these unique features. The history

of elliptical use over

the past few years

tells us

that many users

suffer from

numb toes while

working

out on elliptical

trainers. Many

other

users complain of

ankle,

Achilles tendon,

knee and/or

hip pain. While

researching a

solution to

these common problems

Spirit engineers

consulted Richard DeKok, P.T.,

M.T.C., of

St.

Bernard’s

Industrial Rehabilitation

Center in

Jonesboro

Arkansas. Together

identified the inherent problem

elliptical

designs and

developed solutions to solve the

problems. What

we found is that when you use

elliptical

you

tend

to push outward during the power

stroke and not just straight back. This causes stress on the

outer part of the foot and throws off

the natural

alignment of the

joints. The second problem

found

is that many

people tend to stay

on the ball

of their

foot during the elliptical motion. Our

solutions were simple but

effective:

The first solution was

add a 2

degree inward angle to the footpads.

This

might sound

simple but what

it does

puts

the users

joints

back into a neutral

alignment. This

eases

the

over stressing

the

ankles, knees

and hips.

The second solution was

make

the

foot

pedal adjustable

the user’s style

of pedaling

the elliptical.

We achieved this by

adding

an adjustment that allows the angle of

the footpad

to be changed. Because everybody

is different, and there are

as many styles

to pedal

elliptical as

there

are

people,

we found there

one angle

that

fit every

user. Some

users would be up on the balls of their

feet, resulting in numb toes, so

we decided to let

the

user adjust the

back of

the

foot pad upward

support the

heel, taking the pressure off of

the nerves

in the balls of the feet and the Achilles tendon. The result

was

no more numb

toes. Some users are uncomfortable at this angle so for them we designed in three different

adjustable angles so they could

find one that feels

best for them.

There

are three

footpad angle

settings available by pulling on the red quick release handle

under the rear of each footpad. The lowest setting will

set the footpads at

zero (0) degrees, or

flat, at the bottom of

the elliptical

stroke. The

second position sets

the

footpad to

five

(5)

degrees

and

the top position sets the footpads

ten

(10) degrees.

Ramp incline adjustment

The Esprit EL7 now has an exciting new ramp incline feature that will further increase the variety of

your workouts. When the incline is at its lowest position you get a normal elliptical workout. As the

incline increases you will feel your knees rise higher with each step; which means you are involving

more muscle groups. The power incline is controlled by buttons on the console and also

automatically controlled during the built-in workout programs.
