It’s too hot or too cold or too rainy or too snowy to run or walk. The health club is too far. Something good is on TV. I don’t have time because I have to work. The list of excuses for skipping exercise is endless. However, Rehabmart can counter all of them with one item: the TherapyTrainer Total Cycle.

Unlike many other devices like treadmills, stair machines, or stationary bikes that are too big and too expensive to be used easily in private residences, the Total Cycle weighs in at a mere 28 pounds, making it perfect for use at home. It can be placed on the floor while the user pedals away from a chair or sofa while watching TV, or beneath a desk while working on a lower body workout, or placed on a table or desk to allow him or her to exercise the upper body.

The Total Cycle features adjustable magnetic resistance to ensure smooth motion whether going backwards or forwards, and a smaller spindle radius to ease stress on joints, tendons and ligaments, allowing the muscles to be worked with a minimum of discomfort. Its broad base keeps it stable during exercising and the expandable length allows it to be adapted to each user’s unique needs. The cycle comes with pedals featuring hook-and-loop fastening straps that are suitable for working both the upper and lower body; ergonomic grips shaped like baseballs to work the small muscles in the hand while exercising the large ones in the arms and shoulders; and quick-release adaptors to allow the user to easily switch between them. It also has a one-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Users who have made it a part of their rehab or personal fitness routines as well as college and pro athletes have given the TherapyTrainer Total Cycle glowing reviews. The San Francisco 49ers and Mississippi State University baseball teams use it to augment warm-ups for the quarterbacks and pitchers, relying on it to help stretch the muscles in their arms and shoulders before tossing footballs and baseballs in preparation for taking the field. A user who is paralyzed from the waist down due to spina bifida shared in a letter that he was able to get great cardio and strength results thanks to exercising with the Total Cycle. It also was covered in an article on Oprah.com.

The TherapyTrainer Total Cycle is not only useful to athletes who participate in a wide variety of sports and to those pursuing personal fitness goals, it also is helpful for patients undergoing rehab after surgery, heart attacks or strokes, and injuries from a variety of causes as well as chronic neurological or musculoskeletal issues. The cycle is suitable for use in private homes, residential care facilities, businesses, chiropractic offices, training facilities, and both civilian and military rehab centers, hospitals, dialysis centers, and physical therapy clinics.
