The Arc Trainer Reduces Joint Stress

By Adam Roell


We all recognize the advantages of regular exercise. Getting some physical stress on our organs is a great way to get the heart pumping, something that is important for cardio-vascular fitness. Additionally,regular exercise tones up our muscles, and helps us burn off excess calories.



While stationery bikes are one of the safest of all types of exercise machine, you could still do yourself some harm if you do not set your bike up the right way. 0These bikes are built to offer a way of exercising with very little stress being placed on the joints. But, if we have the wrong posture on the bike, we could end up with joint pains.

That is why apparatus manufacturers have tried to develop apparatus that minimize the effect of training routines on our joints. One such piece of apparatus is the Arc Trainer. At first sight, this is a peculiar looking piece of apparatus. Its odd design is key to what it does. It is intended to cut down strain on the joints, by offering a non-impact sort of exercise. It is effectively a strider, but it significantly restricts stress on the knee joint by forcing your legs to move in a way that ensures your toe always remains in front of your knee. Should your toes go behind your knee, the force on the knee joint goes way up.

Be wary of using routines that you see in books or on the internet. The ideal target heart rate for one individual may be completely unsuitable for another. There are a lot of factors that have to be taken into account. Your existing level of fitness, your at rest heart rate, your BMI, your weight and your age are all important factors.

If your leg is too straight in this position, you risk damaging your back during exercise. On the other hand, if your knee is bent too much, you will be over-fexing it while exercising. Needless to say, if you damage your joints, that is going to make exercising a lot more difficult,or even impossible, so take a few minutes to change the stationery bike first. Remember, if you share the bike with anybody else, or you are working with a stationery bike at a gymnasium, you should check your starting posture before you begin.

Even though stationery bikes are one of the safest of all kinds of exercise machine, you may still do yourself some harm if you do not set your bike up the right way. 0These bikes are developed to offer a method of exercising with very little force being placed on the joints.
