On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Dan Brady with NuStep, the company that makes the recumbent Cross Trainer that was featured in the Biggest Loser TV show. Recumbent machines are much easier on your joints, back and knees than exercise machines that require you to stand up and put all your weight on your feet. Some recumbent machines have a difficult time getting your heart rate up, but because the NuSTep features an arm usage component so anyone can get their heart rate elevated into the fitness zone much faster plus you get some strength training work in as well. This makes the NuSTep more progressively challenging as you get fitter. The NuStep exercise machines are perfect for the obese or the person suffering from ailments like diabetes or even someone going through cardiac rehab. The Arthritis Foundation recently named the NuSTep an Ease of Use Award Winner. The T4 goes for around $3500 and the T5 goes for a little less than $5000.
