In today’s sedentary world, exercise is more important than ever. After sitting for hours at a desk or workstation, the human body needs a workout to keep healthy, to eat and sleep better, to perform better on the job, and to think more clearly. A comprehensive physical workout that reaches as many of the body’s major muscle groups as possible has many benefits, from improving posture to maintaining cardiac health. The problem is, who has time to go from machine to machine at the gym to get the comprehensive workout we all need?
An international patent portfolio consisting of two patent familes addresses exactly that need! It includes a patented elliptical technology designed for simultaneous training of the shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle, and trunk muscles in a single coordinated pattern of movement. The device is specifically designed to support a full-body workout, while also aiming to reduce spinal load, improve posture, and support rehabilitation.
