To use the Tai-Chi Wheels, stand facing the wheels and grasp a handle in each hand. Rotate the wheels in a slow, steady motion, first in one direction, then in the other. Alternate the direction of each wheel to maximize coordination and balance the work on both sides. Make sure you maintain a stable posture while controlling your movements to avoid unnecessary strain and maximize the benefits of the exercise.

What it trains

Function

Tai-Chi Wheels are ideal for improving the mobility of shoulder and elbow joints, and for strengthening arm muscles. This gentle, controlled exercise prevents joint stiffness and strengthens stabilizing muscles. Regular practice with Tai-Chi Wheels also improves coordination and flexibility, and promotes mental relaxation through fluid movement. Outdoor training offers additional benefits, such as stress reduction and improved oxygenation, contributing to an overall sense of well-being.

Frequently asked questions : Tai Chi Wheels

Which muscles and joints are involved when using Tai Chi Wheels?

Tai Chi Wheels primarily target the shoulder and elbow joints, as well as the muscles of the arms and upper back. The fluid rotation of the wheels also stimulates the stabilizing muscles of the trunk, contributing to a discreet but effective overall strengthening.

Are Tai Chi Wheels suitable for the elderly or people in rehabilitation?

Yes, thanks to their slow, controlled movements, Tai Chi Wheels are particularly recommended for seniors and people undergoing joint rehabilitation. Exercise intensity is fully adjustable to the user's chosen rhythm and amplitude. In the event of injury, however, it is advisable to consult a health professional before starting any exercise.

What type of floor is required to install Tai Chi Wheels?

Tai Chi Wheels can be installed on a variety of surfaces: concrete, asphalt or any other stabilized surface capable of supporting anchoring by means of a base plate or ground anchor. A stable, level surface is essential to guarantee the safety of users during exercises.

Are Tai Chi Wheels certified for use in public spaces?

Herkules Fitness Outdoor Fitness Stations are designed and manufactured in compliance with current European standards for open-access fitness equipment. They are suitable for installation in communal areas such as parks, schools or residences.

What maintenance is required for Tai Chi Wheels installed outdoors?

Maintenance of Tai Chi Wheels is minimal thanks to their anti-corrosion treatment. Regular cleaning with water and neutral soap is all that's needed to maintain the equipment's appearance and hygiene. We recommend periodically checking the condition of bearings and fastenings to ensure safe use.
