The new Helix HLT3000 Aerobic Lateral Trainer is a light commercial lateral trainer. A lateral trainer moves side to side, instead of front to back like a traditional elliptical. A lateral trainer can tone your core muscles, your butt plus inner and outer thighs, areas often missed by other exercise equipment. A lateral trainer can burn fat and also give you an excellent aerobic workout. Lateral training is excellent for training athletes such as skiers, golfers, snow boarders, and tennis players. Most aerobic trainers simply work the front of the thighs (quads) and the back of the legs (hamstrings), but the Helix also simultaneously works the inner and outer thighs and glutes. Lateral trainers are low impact and easy on the knees.
The HLT3000 model is ideal for your home gym, rehab facilities, or even small gyms. This is the light commercial version. This model is for fitness enthusiasts of any skill level who want a low impact aerobic workout. This Helix Lateral Trainer uses 16 levels of Flywheel Magnetic ECB (Eddy Current Brake) resistance.
