Widespread disease: Lack of exercise
Lack of exercise is a civilization phenomenon caused by changes in professional and working life with the trend towards predominantly sedentary activities in modern industrial society. (Source: Wikipedia)
Effects of lack of exercise
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1.4 billion people worldwide do so little exercise that it increases their risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, dementia and various cancers. According to the WHO definition, there is a lack of exercise if at least 150 minutes of exercise per week or 75 minutes of sport per week are not met. With 42.2 percent of the population, Germany occupies a top position among industrialized countries, ahead of the USA with 40 percent and the United Kingdom with 36 percent (as of 2016).

A joint that is moved too little - stiffens!
Additional problem for older people...
... many older people had to work hard physically in the past and therefore heavily stressed their joints. The result today is joint pain, caused by arthritis (inflammation of the joints) and osteoarthritis (age-related joint wear = breakdown of cartilage layers)
So move, but without stress?
Our solution: Let yourself be moved!
As long as you are mobile, you decide!
Advantages of movement without stress:
- more movement in the joints - without pressure in the joint
can also be used for arthritis and osteoarthritis - promotes blood circulation - without straining the heart and
increasing blood pressure (NO EXERCISE BIKE) - trains the tendons and ligaments - gives more stability
- promotes digestion like a walk - even in the dark and bad weather
- Complete movement, as the exercise is in both directions
can be made - Comparable to swimming - movement without stress
- Stimulates your metabolism - ideal also for diabetes
- brings more oxygen into the body and head
- great support for dementia and depression
Easy to use
How does it work?
- Switch the main switch (red) to "ON"
- Now other diodes light up next to the operating lamp
- The program is preset to "Speed level 1 - Duration of exercise 5 minutes - Forward"
- Select the speed, duration of the exercise and the training direction and simply press "Start"
- For the direction of exercise you can select, -forward / -backward / alternating -forward and -backward (as physiotherapists recommend)
Large, soft foam handles enable healthy shoulder, back and arm movement.
Pedals with a large contact surface and safety loops comfortably provide an effective training movement for the hip, knees and the entire lower body.
In our experience, normal chairs have proven to be the best seating option in front of the device. This gives you an optimal sitting posture, almost at right angles. However, since everyone has different requirements, it is recommended to simply try it out comfortably at home. An armchair or a couch is not so recommendable, as the seat height is usually too low. The important thing for a comfortable sitting position is to simply relax and let the FlexaGym do the work!
Do your training forwards, backwards or alternating forwards and backwards. You can even adjust the frequency of the interval rotations. Faster changes of direction or a longer interval in one direction can be selected here with 6 levels.
So that the FlexaGym offers a firm stand during the exercise, you have 2 adjusting screws under a foot strut.
This allows you to compensate for unevenness in the ground
„After using the previous model regularly for years, which unfortunately gave up the ghost, it only took me a short time to consider purchasing the new FlexaGym. Now I can even do the exercise in the other direction.“
A. Berg from Hammelburg
„For years, this exercise has helped me to cope on my own in old age. I am very happy that I have my own movement trainer at home. With him, I do the exercise when I want to - preferably in front of the television.“
A. Hain from Stuttgart
„We bought the predecessor model in the early 2000s. As we got older, we felt that this movement training brought more and more positive benefits to our bodies. Our house and garden require us to stay fit and vital.“
H. Köth from Münnerstadt
„Professionally, I always had to do with canal construction even during the GDR era and therefore often stood up to my hips in cold water. This gave me a nerve condition in my legs. The FlexaGym has helped me to still be mobile and able to walk.“
H. Otto from Elsterwerda

Our recommendation
The FlexaGym automation trainer performs all movements itself without any effort. You can determine your training pace and the duration of the exercise yourself with the help of the speed controller and timer, depending on your physical condition.
This training method, especially for older people, causes a sustainable movement regeneration of the joints and muscles.
Start the exercise relaxed and relaxed with a suitable chair that offers you a comfortable sitting position. First try quietly for 15 minutes at level 1-2. After a few training sessions, you can increase the speed.
If you are unsure, always talk to your doctor about this passive movement training!
