Workout more effectively with the proper form
Ergonomics, according to Merriam-Webster online dictionary, is an applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use so that the people and things interact most efficiently and safely. The Spirit XE395 Elliptical was designed with proper ergonomics at the forefront of its design plans. The console being able to adjust 10° to accommodate the best viewing angle to multi-position handgrips, which allow you to work different muscle groups throughout the body depending on the hold, are two design feature which help amplify your workout in a more effective manner.
Q-Factor is another important ergonomic component. The Q-Factor is the distance between the inside of the pedals. Most Spirit models, as with the XE395, have been minimized to a distance of two inches between pedals. Because of this, your body will be in a more ergonomically correct position as you work out. This positioning also makes the motion closer to that of walking/running.
Spirit offers the only elliptical trainers that have an integrated two-degree inward tilt to make your workout more comfortable. This exclusive design puts you in a more ergonomically correct position.The pedals are also padded, placing less stress on your feet. Our foot pedal has three different adjustment angles. Simply pull the handle on the back of the foot pedal and adjust from zero to five to ten degrees. This will allow you to find the most comfortable position for your gait pattern.
