> HOW DOES YOUR FOOT SIT IN THE PEDALS?

The design of the elliptical trainer is very important. A better designed unit will allow your feet to remain in contact with the pedal during the entire workout while others could cause the heel to come off the pedal. Full foot contact during the elliptical motion relieves pressure on your knees and makes it a truly impact free workout. Full foot contact also relieves pressure on the ball of your foot, which would cause your toes to “fall asleep”.
