Sturdy and Great Excercise
The Cubii has been a godsend. I am a 70 year old, currently residing in an assisted living facility, and cannot walk due to arthritis in both knees and severe edema issues in my left leg from cancer surgery. I have been in therapy for months and have made improvements in standing but still cannot walk. Insurance issues (Medicare could use some improvement) have left me with only one therapy session per week so I had to find some exercise I could use on a daily basis to build strength and endurance. I showed an internet video of the Cubii to my therapist and he thought it would be helpful but had no patients currently using it so he had questions. I took a flyer, bought one, and it has been all the ads say and more. I'll list the benefits and concerns:BENEFITS:Very easy to set up (4 screws, that's it)Sturdy - I am a big guy and worried if it would be flimsy. Not at all - a real quality productEasy to use - I have size 13 shoe and my feet fit easily in the foot pads. Set the resistance level you want ( start with 0 ) and pedalExercise Benefit - your knees move up and down as you pedal building strength in quads, glutes, and hamstrings along with working your cardio. This was the issue my therapist was most concerned about but he is very high on the Cubii and has recommended it to a few patients since I bought mine.CONCERNS:Cost - $249 may seem like a lot but you pay for quality - well worth itMobility - there is a handle you can use to pick it, but it is 25 lbs so be aware if that is a problem for youSliding - I use it on a hardwood floor and if I did not buy the pad as an accessory it would be a problem. With the pad, sliding is not an issue. If you don't have some kind of traction already I recommend buying the pad, but it is another $29. No idea how it would act on carpeting.Overall I am SOLD on the Cubii. When I started I was only able to do sets of 20-25 reps and within 2 weeks (after warming up) am now up to sets of 100-150 reps. No question my legs are stronger. Will It result in my being able to walk again? That remains to be seen, but if I do make it, the Cubii will be a big part of that success.Ver másVer menos
