NuStep for Health and Wellness
Regular exercise is one of the most important things we can do for our health and wellness.
Extensive research shows that regular exercise offers a wide range of physical and mental benefits, helping to reduce chronic disease risk, boost mood, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life.
At NuStep, we’re determined to empower as many people as possible to experience the life-transforming benefits of exercise. That’s why we developed the recumbent cross trainer over 30 years ago. Easy to access and easy to use, our inclusive machines can meet users wherever they are in their fitness journey and take them where they want to go.
Active Aging
Active aging is about pursuing interests and being engaged in life. That’s why it’s so important for older adults to get regular exercise and maintain their functional fitness. So, they can continue doing what they enjoy now and years from now. NuStep cross trainers deliver a low-impact cardio workout that improves cardiovascular endurance, builds strength, increases flexibility and mobility – all of which can contribute to functional fitness and enhance independence.
Weight Management
Losing weight and keeping it off is a challenge for many people. Those with orthopedic issues or health conditions aggravated by excess weight face additional challenges, especially when it comes to finding exercise equipment to accommodate their needs.
NuStep recumbent cross trainers can help overcome those challenges by offering a low-impact, total-body workout that promotes weight loss, builds strength, improves cardiovascular health and helps manage chronic health conditions.
NuStep cross trainer models accommodate users from 400 to 600 lbs., with several models offering wide seat options to ensure stable, comfortable workouts.
Heart and Brain Health
Hypertension, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease are three of the most common health conditions among older adults. Interestingly, the three are interconnected with high blood pressure significantly increasing the risk of both heart disease and dementia. Heart pumping cardio-exercise – like the kind you get on a NuStep cross trainer – may help reduce the risk. Regular cardio exercise works to lower blood pressure, strengthen the heart and improve blood flow throughout the body, including to your brain.
Arthritis Care
Exercise is vital for those with arthritis. It strengthens the muscles, tendons and ligaments around joints and builds bone strength. Exercising and movement helps lubricate the joints, improve flexibility, increase range of motion and reduce pain and stiffness. Because NuStep cross trainers offer low-impact movement, they’re perfect for managing arthritis symptoms. The smooth, controlled motion supports joint function without strain, making consistent exercise more achievable.
Limited Mobility and Balance Issues
For users with limited mobility or balance issues, accessing and exercising on many exercise machines can be difficult or even impossible. The swivel seat on the NuStep cross trainer allows users to safely access the machine. For users with little to no movement in their arms or legs, the optional adaptive equipment makes a total body workout on the NuStep possible. The contralateral movement builds upper and lower body strength as well as core strength which can help improve balance and mobility and help minimize the risks of falls.
Neurological Conditions
Studies continue to show the benefits exercise may have for those living with neurological conditions. Users with physical limitations often find that exercise on traditional fitness equipment may be difficult. NuStep cross trainers offer an inclusive and adaptive full-body workout for most users, including those in wheelchairs.
NuStep supports functional recovery by encouraging coordinated, repetitive movement, which is important for those with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis or in stroke recovery. With adjustable resistance and optional support accessories, NuStep allows users to tailor their workouts to match their physical abilities.
All NuStep Cross Trainers Feature:
- Contralateral movement and smooth, natural motion to deliver a low impact, total-body cardio workout
- Low starting force and user-controlled step length to support new or deconditioned users
