by a cardiac specialist. Upper body only and lower body only
exercise also is possible, with a swivel seat for easy access
(including those wheelchair bound). No impact and smooth operation,
the NuStep does not require a wall outlet for power, is driven
by magnetic resistance, and with 10 levels of intensity ranging
from extremely light for the deconditioned to very demanding
for the athletic. The consol offers information on time, watts,
mets, kcal, steps, heart rate (with Polar interaction), and much
more. The ideal and perfect piece for any fitness facility, but
particularly for those limited in space or capital. If you buy
only one piece of cardio equipment, this is a must as it can
be used by anyone, from the weak and frail, to the wheelchair
bound, to the highly athletic. Visit www.NuStep.com
