What is ROM?
Description:
ROM (Range of Motion) is the 4-Minute Cross-Trainer Machine. The ROM is the solution to “needing to exercise”, “don’t want to & don’t have time to do it” dilemmas. Two 4-minute workouts will give you a full-body workout with a time expense of as little as 10-15 minutes, two to three times a week; build strength, flexibility and significant cardio benefits. The ROM works great for a 90 year old that is out of shape, as well as, the highly trained athlete. This one you have to see & try to believe!
How It Works:
Two stations – 4 minutes each with a couple of minutes rest in between.
The upper body station consists of rowing while seated; it provides resistance both pushing and pulling, as well as opening the chest to help posture and stretching the low back for flexibility.
The lower body station works like a stair climber; but as the resistance changes, so does the intensity and range of motion. The depth of the stair-climbing steps goes as deep as 28”; no-impact, moving vertically, totally against gravity.
With the two 4-minute workouts you will get in return an equivalent to 30-45 aerobic activity, 20-30 minutes of strength-training & 20 minutes of flexibility workout. It is not an easy four minutes, but you get the job done!
How? – The amount of oxygen consumed during any activity is determined by 4 factors:
- Total muscle mass involved in the activity
- Range of motion of the muscles determines the % of muscle cells involved.
- Number of repetitions of muscle movement per minute.
- Resistance load that is worked against by the muscles.
