The E5 Activity Zone places the most used keys and display attributes closer to the user so that it is more convenient to
make adjustments during a workout. Think of the Activity Zone as cruise control settings on your car steering wheel. The
controls are placed in a location that is easily reachable to make driving safer and more convenient or in this case to
make exercise safer and more convenient. The Activity Zone includes Level Up/Down keys, Stride Length Up/Down
keys, Leg Sculptor Mode, and Total Body Trainer Mode.

The Stride Length Up/Down keys can be pressed any time the machine is on. The Stride
Length Up/Down keys are used to adjust the length of the stride from 18-24 in. (46-61 cm).
The stride length can be adjusted in one inch increments so there are seven total adjust-
ments (18 in / 46 cm, 19 in / 48 cm, 20 in / 51 cm, 21 in / 53 cm, 22 in / 56 cm, 23 in / 58 cm,
24 in / 61 cm).
Note: One key press is needed for each stride adjustment. Do not press and hold.

When the stride is adjusted the Activity Zone display is changed in three separate areas. The first display change is digital
stride length. This is where the numeric value for stride is displayed such as 18 inches. The second display change for
stride length is the graphical bars located on the right side of the display. The bottom bar represents a stride length of 18
in. (46 cm.) while the top bar represents a stride length of 24
in. (61 cm.). The third display change for stride length is the
ergo-person. When the stride is adjusted the ergo-person's leg
position change at certain stride ranges and the target muscle
groups at that stride length blink. While all lower body muscles
are engaged during exercise, specific stride length ranges better
target specific muscle groups. At the shorter stride lengths of
18-19 in.(46-48 cm.) the targeted muscle groups are the calf and
quadriceps. At the mid stride lengths of 20-22 in. (51-56 cm.) the
targeted muscle groups are the quadriceps and hamstrings. At
the longest stride lengths, 23-24 in. (58-61 cm.), the hamstrings
and the gluteus are the targeted muscle groups.
Note: The display will not change when pedaling forward or
reverse. When pedaling forward the calf and quadriceps
muscles are more active and when pedaling in reverse the hamstring and gluteus muscles are more active.
