Ans: Stride length is the distance you cover in one step and is measured from heel to heel. It decides how far you walk with each step.
Generally, a person with 5-foot-3 or shorter should use an elliptical with a stride length of 16 to 18 inches. Users between 5-foot-3 and 5-foot-7 should choose an elliptical with an 18- to 20-inch stride length.
