Cycling
in the recumbent (reclined) position works
the legs and trunk specifically, but as
with cycling on land the exercise provides
conditioning for the entire body and a complete
cardiovascular workout. The steady movements
will ensure a constant load on the muscle
groups involved.
The Aqua Cycle is designed
to allow the user to finely control the
resistance valve, which together with use
of the integral timer enables the load and
duration of the exercise to be tailored
to individual requirements. Both of these
are within easy reach of the user to adjust
whilst performing the exercise if necessary.
The seat is supported on a
slide allowing it to be adjusted to suit
all sizes of user.
The activity tones and tightens
the following
main muscle groups in the lower body:-
1. Gluteal Muscles
2. Quadriceps
3. Hamstrings
4. Gastrocnemius (calves)
