TRAINING EFFECT & TRAINING GOALS

This endurance machine simultaneously strengthens the entire arm, shoulder, back and chest muscles.
The outdoor arm trainer promotes mobility and loosens up the arms, shoulders and the entire upper body.

Exercise variations in a standing position, especially when the standing position is at a greater distance from the turntable, address all the large muscle groups of the entire body.

BENEFITS OF THE ARM CYCLE

The smooth running characteristics of the rotating handles also allow older people or people with restricted mobility, such as those who use a walking frame, to use this joint-friendly exercise bike and thus mobilise a variety of muscle groups.

The aesthetic pleasing playfit^® arm trainer is manufactured from weather-resistant stainless steel with a tried-and-tested design of all moving parts.

There are no particular requirements for the surface area around the equipment itself which means that additional fall protection is not required for the playfit^® Arm Cycle. Furthermore, there are no restrictions regarding maximum user-weight.
