elliptical machines also called cross trainer exercise machines are cardio

machines designed to provide an aerobic workout with little to no impact the

movement required to operate the machine is a cross between walking and running

without the joint stress that running in parts elliptical machines will often

have a display that shows distance traveled or revolutions or strides

performed during a workout if your machine does not display distance

traveled there are ways to figure out how many miles you've gone by plugging

the strides made into some basic math formulas display check the display of

your NordicTrack elliptical machine most should display the miles traveled or

have the option to change the display to show distance traveled many will scroll

through different functions if you press display mode for distance if the

machines display does not offer to track distance traveled then it should show

revolutions performed stride some machines have adjustable stride lengths

with others you will have to measure the stride length measure from the father's

to back position of the pedal to the farthest forward position of the pedal

in inches convert the measurement into feet and divided by 5,280 that is the

number of feet in one mile the resulting number is the number of strides you must

take to travel the equivalent of one mile will diameter measure the radius of

the wheel if it is enclosed measure from the center to just inside the outer edge

of the plastic cover multiply the radius times two to determine the diameter the

next step is to determine the circumference of the wheel the easiest

way to do that is to multiply the diameter times pi which is 3.14159 to

say your radius is 10 that means the diameter is 20 and the circumference is

62.83 184 convert the circumference measurement which is an inches into feet

divided by 12 the circumference is five point two three five nine

this number is the distance traveled per revolution figure out the number of

revolutions of tapes to travel one mile by dividing the number of feet in one

mile into the number of feet traveled per revolution

5,280 divided by five point two three five nine eight is one thousand eight

point four therefore it takes approximately one thousand eight

revolutions to travel one mile on this elliptical exercise machine caution

not all machines are calibrated properly and so the distance travel display may

not always be correct generally the higher the quality of the machine the

more accurate its readout will be but do not assume it is correct the best way to

figure out distance travelled is to measure eighth of a stride length or the

wheel circumference
