I'm happy to have a new and improved model of the Circulation Leg Exerciser and Physiotherapy Machine
I have to admit when we got this I thought it was for people who couldn't or who could barely walk. Little did I know this could be a lifesaver FOR ME!
I sit at my desk at work for hours and hours. I know I'm supposed to get up and walk every hour, but I get so engrossed in my work that I forget!
While this Leg Exerciser and Physiotherapy Machine is great for people who do have issues walking, it also does wonders for people like me! Just by placing my feet on the pedals I'm improving my health.
Sitting too much has been branded the "new smoking" Over the past 15 years or so sitting too much has been linked with cancer, heart disease and diabetes and even depression.
Here's a recent article from the Huffington Post (there are tons more on the internet)
Using this helps alleviate this issue by stimulating blood flow to the heart improving circulation. You'll also notice it is really very soothing and relaxing!
Plus using a device like this gives your legs and core the same benefits as using a Stabilty Ball as an office chair.
Just plug it in, choose a speed and place your feet on it. It will loosen up your legs, reduce cramps, increase circulation and reduce inflammation.
Sound easy? IT IS!
