Machine Use & Benefits
Targeted Areas: Abdominals, Lower Back, Glutes, Hips, Legs, Waist.
The Ab Pullover provides a combination of stretching and strengthening which helps to improve shoulder and hip flexibility and strengthen the muscles of the abdomen and back.
Key Benefits
- Improves strength & abdominal muscles
- Improves balance
- Stretches the shoulder girdle & chest
- Reduces age related changes to posture
- Strengthens the hip flexors for stepping
Targeted Areas: Chest, Shoulders, Arms, Legs, Abdominals, Upper Back, Glutes, Hips.
The Chest & Legs machine assists flexion and extension of all four limbs. The ability to move easily from sitting to standing is important for functional independence and requires strength within the extensor muscles groups. The push down action of the legs will strengthen the thigh and gluteal muscles. The rowing action of the arms will strengthen the arm and shoulder muscles.
Key Benefits
- Improve upper & lower limb strength
- Helps improve balance & mobility
- Increased aerobic fitness
Targeted Areas: Abdominals, Upper & Lower Arm, Legs.
The Cross Cycle promotes lower limb movement, and flexion and extension of the upper limbs. This exercise will promote strengthening of the thigh and shoulder muscles and improves aerobic fitness.
Key Benefits
- Improved arm & leg strength
- Increased aerobic fitness
- Supports weight loss
- Overall improved health
Targeted Areas: Upper Back, Abdominals, Shoulders, Chest, Arms, Glutes, Hips, Inner and Outer Thighs.
The Flys & Thighs machine firms inner and outer thighs, helps to strengthen and shape the chest and shoulder areas, and increases mobility in the hip and shoulder joints. The upper body performs an upright fly exercise targeting the pectorals, whilst legs are performing abductor and adductor exercises, helping to strength the hips and thighs.
Key Benefits
- Improve upright posture
- Improve balance
- Increase shoulder flexibility
- Improve hip strength and flexibility
- Improvement to walking and stair climbing
Targeted Areas: Obliques, Waist, Abdominal, Rectus Abdominus, Lower Back.
The Rotary Torso assists with the rotation of the trunk, hips and shoulders. Rotation of the trunk is one of the first movements to decline as part of the ageing process. This is further accelerated in people with neurological changes. Reduced trunk rotation leads to loss of arm swing during walking, reduced balance, back pain and stiffness. The Rotary Torso helps to reverse or minimise these changes.
Targeted Areas: Shoulders, Arms, Legs, Abdominals, Upper Back, Waist.
The Seated Climber is predominantly a cardiovascular machine which exercises both the upper and lower body, combining a lateral pulldown and shoulder press movement with a leg stepping action. It helps to shape and strengthen the deltoids and larger muscle groups of the upper back, whilst improving posture and increasing cardiovascular fitness.
Key Benefits
- Improved shoulder mobility for reaching activities
- Improved shoulder control to prevent injury
- Increased hip strength and mobility
- Improvement to walking and stair climbing
- Increased aerobic fitness
Targeted Areas: Waist, Hips, Abdominals, Arms, Shoulders, Legs, Glutes, Lower Back.
The Side Bend Stepper exercises the major muscle groups (both upper and lower extremity), works the heart and lungs helping to raise energy levels and increase oxygen supply to the cells. It also helps to improve coordination.
Key Benefits
- Increased strength for standing and stepping
- Improves muscle tone in arms
- Reduces back pain
- Increases rib-cage flexibility
A superb exercise for working primarily the oblique muscles. Creating a narrow waist line plus firming and flattening of the abdominal wall. The internal and external obliques are two diagonal muscles which lie underneath the rectus abdominus. These muscles are responsible for twisting actions. The erector spinae muscles are also involved so strengthening the
lower back.
This unique exercise combination will provide double fast results creating a slim waist and firm flat abdominals.
Targeted areas: Neck, Upper & Lower Arms, Shoulders, Legs, Knees.
The Tricep Dip & Leg Curl machine strengthens the muscles of the upper arm and thigh. During the push down phase of the upper limb movement, the triceps muscle will be activated. This muscle is important for reaching activities and pushing up from a low chair. During the pull up phase of the upper limb movement, the biceps muscle is used. This muscle group is very important for lifting and carrying activities.
Key Benefits
- Improves sit to stand activities
- Enhanced mobility and balance
- Increases leg and arm strength
- Improves aerobic stamina
