EL555 Elliptical

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 we identified the inherent problem in elliptical designs and

developed solutions to solve the problems. What we found is that when you use an 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 we

found is that many people tend to stay up on the ball of their foot during the elliptical motion. Our

solutions were simple but effective:

The first solution was to add a 2

degree inward angle to the footpads. This might sound

simple but what it does is puts the users joints back into a neutral alignment. This eases

the over stressing of the ankles, knees and hips.

The second solution was to make the foot pedal adjustable to 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 an

elliptical as there are people, we found there is no 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 to 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 to ten (10) degrees.

Ramp incline adjustment

The Esprit EL555 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.
