Use it as your target.

1. If your aim is to aerobic workout keep your eyes on the display SPM (strides per minute), and kept it at 120-160.

2. If you want to give more emphasis on your feet checked your touch. Have your weight towards the toes to use more intensely the quadriceps and if pressures loud heels will feel more tension in the buttocks and posterior femoral.

3. In a workout in which you aim your body can not use the elliptical without handle. Thus the body is forced to work harder in the shank region to stabilize on the machine.

Tip. If your time is limited tried to use more intense hands and your feet for greater caloric consumption.
