XE Series Elliptical

Adjustable foot pedals, and orthopedically correct foot pads

XE350 and XE550 only

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. Bernards 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 foot pads. 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 foot pad to be changed. There are three adjustments. The lowest one

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 foot pads to ten (10) degrees.

Because every body 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.

A great side benefit of the adjustable foot pad angle is that you end up working different

muscle groups. At the highest angle you will work the quadriceps more. At the lowest angle

you work the hamstrings and glutes harder. Not a bad perk!
