THJ-B22S
The Skater is an outdoor fitness machine designed to improve balance and coordination, and strengthen the muscles of the lower body, particularly the thighs, buttocks and calves. This equipment simulates the movement of skating, allowing you to work on stability while offering a fun activity. The Skater is ideal for people wishing to strengthen their lower body and improve their general fitness.
Function
The skater strengthens leg, gluteal and calf muscles, while improving balance and coordination. This exercise also helps develop muscular endurance and increase cardiovascular capacity. Skating outdoors provides better oxygenation and makes training more motivating and enjoyable, ideal for a balanced and effective outdoor workout.
Use
Place your feet on the platforms and hold onto the handles for stability. Glide smoothly sideways, keeping your knees slightly bent and your abdominal muscles engaged. Start with slow movements to master coordination, then gradually increase speed and range of motion as you progress.
