Too Heavy to Exercise? Lose Weight Using a GlideCycle

Many people who are overweight would like to lose some pounds and they all know that exercise combined with diet is the best way to do that. But what kind of exercise could they do, when the mere act of walking makes them feel pain? Isn’t walking supposed to be the simplest type of exercise one can do?

Yes, it is difficult for overweight people to exercise. This is not just a subjective view, it is a fact. And regular exercise, designed for fit people, is not only difficult for heavy persons, but it can even be dangerous. The heavier you are, the greater the stress on your joints when you jump, jog, or just walk, so it is easy to see why high impact exercise is not only difficult for overweight people, but also dangerous. Exercise designed for overweight people must minimize joint stress, ligament, tendon and muscle strains, and also avoid dangerously elevated heart rates.

Taking all these limitations into account one may wonder if there is exercise that is appropriate and accessible for overweight persons. Actually, many overweight people have given up looking for a form of exercise that fits their needs because of all the difficulties involved.

The GlideCycle, a new low-impact trainer, is a great exerciser that can provide great workout and lots of fun for people with mobility limitations due to various causes, including obesity. The trainer is easy to use both outdoors (The GlideCycle or The GlidesDale for heavier or taller persons) or indoors (The Glide Track).

Holly, who is a 50-year-old above-knee amputee, has lost over 50 pounds after using the GlideCycle! She is no longer confined to a wheelchair. She can actually easily run 10 miles now using the GlideCycle! As she herself confesses, the GlideCycle has drastically changed her life, giving her back her health and hope.

Greg is another person who is happy to have found this trainer. He is 61 years old and weighs 367 lbs. He has recently started exercising using the GlideCycle and absolutely loves it! Here are a few phrases he said describing his experience:

“I have ridden bicycles, walked, been on treadmills, but I can tell you: this is the most exercise in such a short period of time. This is incredible! Really feels great! No pain in the knees, no pain in the joints… “ When asked what he would say to people who think they have got so heavy that they can’t exercise again, his response was: “I’d say forget about it! Get on one of these things and just do it! You’ll really be amazed how good you’ll feel!”
