Performance Enhancement:   GlideCycling is built for performance enhancement--especially for athletes involved in running sports and cycling.

  • GlideCycling™ trains muscle groups most neglected by the limited range and repetitive motion of bicycling.  
  • GlideCycling is the closest training motion to outdoor running ever developed for competitive and recreational athletes.

 

Power and Speed: Maximize stride length, power and speed training  

  • With GlideCycle™ unweighted running, athletes like you can run 5 to 8 minute miles over 10 to 20 mile courses---consistently without unneccessary stress and impact.
  • Train on long runs with surprisingly little post-exercise pain or stiffness.
  • Sprint and interval train with stunning power and speed as only about 30% of body weight pounds the ground!  (BYU study below)     

   

Competitive Edge:  Achieve high intensity, long duration training in the exciting outdoors without the usual risks associated with impact exercise, or the laboring grind of indoor low-impact machines. 

  • Run hard, Run Fast, Run Unweighted and save your body for the race, the game or for that great trail run over the mountain.
  • Keep injury away by building strong muscle around joints while running unweighted.  With GlideCycle training there is little doubt that athletes can stay in the game at top fitness levels while minimizing joint and soft tissue damage due to cumulative impact injury.

 

Accelerated Recovery:    Reach for the highest cardio/aerobic fitness levels possible even while recovering from injuries.

  • GlideCyclingprovides a safe, pain-free mode of difficult-to-achieve conditioning for larger athletes.

  • Motovates injured athletes to stay in condition, by letting them exercise outdoors in groups and with the team.  
  •  

 

Ultimate Cross Training: Target your hard to condition (especially for cycling) muscle groups:  hamstrings, gluteals, calves, back and core.  Awake to find a new, exciting and fun trainer waiting for you.


Unweighted Training Benefits:   Experience the balanced and complete body workout of GlideCycle ™unweighted running.   Extend valuable careers and lifetime running ability by averting ,wear and tear of daily conditioning while maintaining a high level of fitness.
