The Enabler
What is the Enabler?
The Enabler is a motorized exercise chair with whisper quiet transition and provides slow, gentle movement of the arms and legs. The user can put as little or as much effort into the exercise as they feel comfortable with by gradually building up strength as they progress, the user benefits from regular exercise in ways that would be impossible using conventional equipment.
Power Assisted
The secret of the Enabler is that, unlike conventional equipment, it does not rely exclusively on muscle power. Instead, with a motor and gearbox, controlled by microchip technology, the Enabler machines work the muscles rather that the other way around. With the smooth quiet movements that motorized performance brings to exercise, users can exercise confidently. The result is that almost anyone and everyone can exercise regardless of their physical condition and within their own normal and often limited functional range of movement. We seek assistance for many things in life, why not exercise?
Functional RangeAs part of the ageing process, a person's functional range of movement may diminish. Indeed, this is likely to happen at any age when muscles and joints are not regularly stretched. In normal use a limb is rarely fully extended, and even more rarely would it be fully extended against resistance. There is a good physiological argument therefore to strengthen muscles to perform efficiently throughout their functional range whilst avoiding maximally stretched positions that risk injury. This is particularly true the older we get. |
Cardiovascular ExerciseNow it is possible to safely combine resistance and cardio-vascular exercise using the Enabler machines. The exerciser can work the cardio-respiratory system at the same time as their musculature. Compound, double positive movements are a highly efficient way of working many large muscle groups at the same time, creating an aerobic demand on the heart and lungs to provide more oxygen to the muscles. |
Compound MovementsThe Enabler is designed to be triple action. This allows a number of different body parts, joints and muscles to be exercised simultaneously. These 'compound movements' simulate real life where vast numbers of different body parts function simultaneously, in harmony with each other. Compound movements are also an effective method of burning fat and improving body composition. |
Power Assistance BenefitsPower assisted exercise is really three exercise systems in one. With the Enabler, the prime benefits of conventional resistance, passive and cardio-vascular machines are brought together into one unique exercise concept - delivering the most complete physical conditioning program available today. |
