The Arc Trainer Restricts Joint Stress

By Ayub Yusuf


Stationery bikes are one of the most popular exercise apparatus,both in the home and in professional fitness centers. We do not need to acquire any new capabilities to start using them straightway, as it is just like riding an ordinary bike.



Even though stationery bikes are one of the safest of all sorts of exercise apparatus, you can still do yourself some harm if you do not set your bike up the right way. 0These bikes are developed to provide a way of exercising with very little force being placed on the joints. But, if we assume the wrong posture on the bike, we can end up with joint pains.

That is why apparatus designers have tried to produce machines that decrease the impact of training routines on our joints. One such piece of apparatus is the Arc Trainer. At first sight, this is an odd looking piece of equipment. Its unusual design is key to what it does. It is intended to cut down strain on the joints, by providing a non-impact sort of exercise. It is essentially a strider, but it considerably limits stress on the knee joint by forcing your legs to move in a way that ensures your toe continually remains in front of your knee. If your toes go behind your knee, the force on the knee joint goes way up.

This may not be down to laziness. Many people are more than likely unaware that there is an ideal posture on a bike. The bike should be set up so that when you sit on the saddle and one of the pedals is at its lowest point, your knee should be very slightly bent.

If your leg is too straight in this position, you risk hurting your back during exercise. In contrast, if your knee is bent too much, you will be over-fexing it while working out. Needless to say, if you hurt your joints, that is going to make exercising more challenging,or even impossible, so take a few minutes to adjust the stationery bike beforehand. Remember, if you share the bike with anybody else, or you are utilizing a stationery bike at a gymnasium, you need to check your starting posture before you begin.

It might seem normal to simply hop on a bike and commence pedaling. The issue is that if your knees are flexing too much, you will be placing excess strain on them. All bikes, such as stationery bikes, are adjustable to some extent. Commonly the saddle can easily be lowered or raised. It just takes a few seconds to make this adjustment, yet a lot of persons do not bother. This may not be down to laziness.
