Have you ever noticed that every piece of cardio equipment in the gym goes in one direction: front to back?
The Helix is a new lateral trainer which means that, unlike other machines, it works the body side to side.
This is an exciting advance because instead of just focusing on the muscles of the fronts and backs of the legs, you are also targeting the glutes and the inner and outer thighs----the total leg 360 degrees.
This results in great shaping results for the entire lower body, especially for women who are often looking to tone up exactly the areas that the Helix focuses on.
When you are on the Helix, you are working the fronts and backs of the legs, just like when you are walking or running or biking. But the Helix also goes in two different directions.
When your right leg is moving clockwise, you are also toning your outer thighs and glutes. And when your left leg is moving clockwise, you are also toning your inner thighs and glutes.
Any machine which helps you use more muscles will translate to burning more calories. Great for weight loss!
