If I use an elliptical walker in the house will I need the foot pod?

I really do not know. It will probably count your steps, but not distance because you are stationery.

Not in the least. The materials are very poor. Take your time to read the many negative reviews. For $100 more, you can have a much better quality elliptical that will not squeak and rock and is closer to what you are looking for.

The foot petals only have to positions that are held on by bolts....the transition from elliptical to bike is very easy..

You should just need the chest strap heart rate monitor, the foot pod is really only to calculate the amount of steps you take. The watch itself is really the only thing you NEED.

The only thing going against the guide should be fabric, so the type of foot should not matter. CAUTION: I would not use on computerized machines. Magnets and electronics do not play well together...

Hey Elizabeth. Stride length wont be an issue. I am 6'1" and have no problem at all with stride length. Its the best elliptical for the money. I love mine. I am 221 and bodybuild and have my own home gym and use it twice a week and very solid club feel. I think you will be very pleased. Hope this response helps. If you get it let me know what you think..

The foot pedals are not adjustable. It is an easy transition between bike & elliptical. I found the pedal stroke a little short for elliptical, works better as bike.

We have moved ours from garage to spare bedroom and back several times. The wheels on the front end may not be too useful depending on the surface. Placing furniture moving pads under the "legs" may make moving easier (sliding) especially if on a continuously carpeted floor. Changing the foot pads from recumbent to elliptical is easy although they may be stiff, as noted by others. The control center must also be repositioned but that only involves loosing or tightening one T-handled bolt.

Yes, I think it would work fine either way. It doesn't seem to take very much movement to register strides. I can't say for sure, but in my opinion after using mine, I think it'll work just fine.

I would put a treadmill mat underneath it, and use it where you want. Try not to workout at 2am, but that's apartment life. The deliverer left it on my front porch. I used a dolly to get it in the house. It wasn't a big deal, but with steps, you will need help. ENJOY IT. I used it in my office at work, and now I have one at home.

Yes you will. It is light weight but very sturdy. I had two total knee replacements at the same time. I folded the walker up and carried it down 14 steps twice a day. Now I use it as a chair for when I groom my puppies. This is a great buy...great product. I highly recommend it.

I do inside runners on treadmill using my 920XT without foot pod and works quite good (I don't know what black magic garmin did to make it works). Maybe something with new HR3 and my previous run behaviour/style on GPS recorded tracks.

The chest strap is good or the heart rate. I don't use the foot pod as I understand it is more for indoor workouts on a treadmill. For running outdoors the main unit suffices as the GPS tracks the distance covered.

I'm a cyclist only and got the 910XT since the multi-page displays are both large & easily programmable. I mostly use the 910XT for cycling indoors at spin classes. However I have used the foot pod for walking indoors on the track. I have a bad knee and can't run at all. However I understand it works for running indoors also. Outside it uses the GPS - although I don't know how it would measure your stride - but it does work for speed & distance. I hope that helps.

No you do not need the foot pod to track pace. But I do recommend the heart rate monitor it is pretty nice to see how your heart rate changes depending on the difficulty of the course you are running..

Definitely not. This will put you up to an additional 1-2 feet in height (based on a conservative guess, as I am in the office and not near my elliptical)

Yes you can use a walking foot for quilting and all home sewing projects. The walking foot will need to be an industrial type for the 20U series machine.
