I bought a couple of these for here & parents house.
I'm a para so i have it on desk & crank for upper body & wow it hits every muscle better then anything including weights. Also have the ergo handles on 1 which are worth it for hand cranking. Confess it's been collecting dust past couple years cause life got busy. Kitty- great move getting to "move"! Exercise improves entire body.

I feel SO much better with regular exercise. I used to go to the gym with my late husband and walk on the treadmill for 2 hours at a time.....nonstop. I miss that so much. But this bike works both your upper and lower body at the same time and I can really feel it today. They also make a Theracycle 100 that wheelchair users can use. All their products get good reviews.

Kitty,
Just keeping up your routine is really quite an accomplishment. I checked out the info site you listed. It really looks good. It is a bit more expensive for someone like me, who has a tendency to have good intentions but not disciplined. Anything I have picked up in the past very soon just gets dusted only. My hip/groin, legs and feet deal with painful issues including PN. My balance is really taking a hit, including muscle leg pain. Can you tell, I'm trying to talk myself into trying this. I wish there was an exercise equipment store that I could first try this out rather than have it shipped. Hmmmmmm !!!!!!???????? Gerry Last edited by ger715; 11-12-2016 at 11:10 AM. |

Not such good news.....
I've had the absolute worst flare I've ever had with MS. So bad that I lost total use of my hands and arms and legs for about two days. My Neuro ordered a 5 day IV Slumedrol course and, of course, after the first two days I felt fantastic then came the let down. At least I knew to expect it this time. I have 1 last day of it on Monday and I hope to start feeling better. All of this prompted home health to be set up and now I have PT, OT and Home Health Nurse Practioner and a Social Worker to evaluate what I will need in the future. The PT has said that this bike is not serving it's purpose and I could get something much less expensive and have the same results. So......my oldest son thinks I should try to sell it and keep the proceeds until we determine what will serve me best. Anyone interested in this bike?
