The support
of the water assists the user in maintaining
a constant exercise load whilst working
all of the leg muscles. The Aqua Stepper
is of particular benefit to the quadriceps,
bicep femoris and the gluteus muscles.
The load is varied by altering
the position of the feet on the pedals.
Placing feet near the front of the step
creates less resistance, whilst placing
them towards the rear of the step creates
greater resistance).
The duration of the exercise
is regulated by use of the integrated timer.
The absence of impact associated
with repetitive step activities ensures
minimum stress on joints and muscles whilst
achieving beneficial aerobic exercise.
