So a new device is invented (HeartFlex) that does something nothing else ever has. How long does it take to define its function so that it can be easily differentiated and understood? A couple of hours, days, weeks, months, years - maybe never.
Last morning around 3:40 AM the revelation came. HeartFlex is the first and only hand held treadmill. So what does this mean? What is the difference, concerning lower body exercise, between a treadmill and a leg press machine? A leg press machine (leg curls & etc. included) are designed to build large muscles. Like upper body weight machines they are designed to rip and tear muscles so that they will be gourged with white blood cells. Then, after waiting for a short amount of time (about 24 hours) the blood cells form scar tissue. Then the process is repeated, ripping and tearing muscles - waiting for them to grow bigger and bigger. So, body building was invented. Nothing wrong with huge muscles that look freakish - if that is what you desire.
Let’s consider what the premier athletes of our times look like. They don’t look like Marvel comic super heroes. They aren’t so covered with muscles that they can’t touch the backs of their heads. They aren’t so overly muscled that they can’t walk and move with catlike agility. Jackie Chan, Lance Armstrong, and Tiger Woods don’t look “comic book like.” They look toned and trim. They use their muscles to perform and excel. They have developed functional muscles by working out over time.
Also, study the Greek statues of athletes and you will see “balanced” musculature and form. Bodies that were built to perform and excel.
Treadmills build dense, long muscles of the lower body and at the same time they improve stamina and endurance; dynamic balance and coordination.
Have you ever seen a body builder that is proficient at swimming, gymnastics, or the martial arts? - NO.
Have you visited a nursing home lately? If you have did you see a “huge” body builder type there? - NO. Why? Because they don’t survive. Huge muscle bulk strains the heart and cardiovascular systems and doesn’t allow for good circulation and good health.
HeartFlex is the first and only hand held upper body treadmill. It builds strong, dense, functional muscle tissue at the same time as it stimulates circulation and increases oxygen uptake by improving cardio vascular conditioning. It was designed to be fun and easy to use. And if a person is serious about fitness and health they realize that there is no “magic pill” that can increase functionality of musculature. It takes time and dedication to build muscles that work.
Lower body treadmills are designed to accommodate the movement of legs in a single plane. By that, I mean a single direction. They don’t build functionality in side kicks and twisting motions of the legs. HeartFlex targets and trains functional upper body muscles in a multitude of angles and vectors. It builds hand, arm, forearm, elbow, shoulder, chest, and back strength. There has never been an upper body exercise device that has the adaptability and proficiency of HeartFlex.
HeartFlex combines multiple repetitions with easy resistance and builds upper body muscles that are extremely strong and full of endurance. So, do you want to be big and bulky or toned and healthy? Do you want to look freakish? Size might matter but functional fitness and health trumps freaky every time.
