Semi-recumbent cross trainer BioStep™ 2

With its feature-rich design, the versatile and durable Biodex BioStep 2 can accommodate a wide variety of users and promote general strengthening and conditioning for any age group. BioStep 2 is simple to use, requires minimal supervision and allows exercise to progress at a natural pace. The BioStep 2 Semi-Recumbent Elliptical is naturally smooth and continuous, offering exceptional comfort. Its low-impact, elliptical motion reduces the jarring start/stop direction change often associated with other recumbent steppers, eliminating the need for users to lift or strike their feet on the footplate. The step-through frame, easy-to-use display, and comfortable robust design, make the BioStep 2 the obvious choice for cross training. Safe, Low-Impact Exercise in a variety of settings The fluid, elliptical motion is forgiving on the knees, ankles, hips and lower back…a natural closed-chain, low-impact, functional exercise. The BioStep 2 reduces joint impact because the user is not required to lift and strike their feet on the walking surface. By combining lower extremity motion with upper body exercise, the BioStep 2 provides a total body workout in both forward and reverse directions, thereby involving different muscle groups.
