What Should My Stride Length Be?
The Q47 Series ellipticals offer Octane Fitness’ unique size-based programming to help you find your optimum
stride length for walking, jogging, and running. When you exercise at your perfect stride length, you can burn more
calories, avoid injuries, and feel better during your workouts.
Octane’s research has found that the distance from your hip socket joint through your knee to your heel is the most
precise measurement to determine an appropriate stride length. We call this measurement your Hip Indexing Pivot
(HIP) number. To find your HIP number, first move the right pedal back while pushing the right handlebar forward,
stopping the handlebar in its forward-most position (Figure 1). Then stand next to the right handlebar and note the
number on the HIP Ruler that is closest to your hip socket (Figure 2). Use this HIP number to find your optimum
forward and reverse stride lengths in the table on page 20, or enter it into your elliptical using the SmartStride
customization features described below to get a workout sized just for you!
Note: If it is not convenient for you to measure for your HIP number, you can also get an approximate HIP number,
based on your height, from the table on page 20. This table also references your recommended SmartStride
lengths.
Setting Your SmartStride Length for Your Workout
Once you have your HIP number you can enter this value into your Octane elliptical at any time during your workout,
or you can set these values as the default for your workout session using the SmartStride customization feature.
Just press and hold the SmartStride button for three seconds and follow the prompts, as described on page 26.
This will ensure that you are working out with your optimum stride lengths throughout your entire session.
Tip: If you would like to save your SmartStride settings on your Q47e or Q47ce for a future workout, just press
and hold My Quick Start 1 or My Quick Start 2 for three seconds and your perfect stride length will be ready
for your next workout.
