NuStep Cross Trainer Provides Total Body Fitness For Rehabilitation

Exercising is important for rehabilitation and staying healthy, but even walking can be a challenge for some people. For those suffering from arthritis, chronic pain or multiple sclerosis, the elderly and the obese, among others, walking for exercise can be a strain on their body.?

Despite the challenge, the fact is that exercise improves many of the the symptoms associated with these conditions. Beyond?the cardiovascular benefits, exercise also increases bone and muscle strength, improves circulation and stamina, and even reduces pain. How does a patient get exercise when putting weight on joints is painful or difficult?

We recently added the?NuStep T4 Recumbent Cross Trainer?to the?HomeHealthMedical.com store. This popular sitting cross trainer is widely used in the healthcare and fitness industries, and is being used more and more in home gyms. It is designed to provide patients with a wide range of ability levels with a safe, low impact, total body workout. The trainer replicates the motions involved in walking, but takes the pressure off of painful joints.

Patients can easily transfer from a standing or sitting position (wheelchair) to the cross trainer using the swivel seat. This seat swings?90? in both directions, has flip up arm rests, and locks into place. The combination of these features helps make access safe and easy for patients who have mobility issues.

The exercise arm handles of the NuStep?recumbent stepper?adjust to fit a patient?s body size and range of motion. Users can also lock the arms if they do not wish to work arms during a fitness session. The pedals are designed with a non-slip surface and a heel cup to secure feet in place.

The NuStep T4 can hold patients up to 400 lbs. and can be set for 10 different levels of resistance. This allows patients to start slowly and take on a manageable exercise plan, while easing into increasing time and resistance that will provide greater return on their health.
