Testimonials
"I LOVE
the StrideGlider™. What I’ve really noticed riding it
is how much strength it has built in my legs, especially my quads.
Interesting enough, though, it never leaves my muscles aching
like some new activities do. I love the fact that I can fit in
a workout while commuting to work. It’s a great alternative
to running because it gets my heart working about the same speed,
but without all the stress to my limbs and joints. As an alternative
way to get around and get a little exercise at the same time,
it’s perfect!” Kirsten Lutes, Seattle WA
"As
a fifty-something woman with a very full professional and personal
life, I'm very concerned about getting the most workout for least
amount of time. Fifteen minutes on the StrideGlider™ provides
the kind of quality total-body workout that would take 45 minutes
on fitness machines indoors at my health club.
And best of all, it is refreshingly fun! Having fun and
getting fit don't have to be mutually exclusive concepts when
you're using a StrideGlider™." Marsha J. Lyttle, Owosso,
MI
"I
was apprehensive about using the scooter as a substitute for running
as I have been an avid runner for 15 years.
Unfortunately I had too much back pain to continue. After testing the scooter briefly,
I could feel the physiological benefits but after a 60-minute
workout on October 27th, 1998, I was excited. I found my groove in the first 30 minutes and was surprised
to feel the ‘burn’ in my quads. I especially liked not having back or joint pain in the
morning. It is nice
to experience the feeling of increased strength in a short workout
that does not damage my joints."
Lee Lutes, Traverse City, MI
"I
use my StrideGlider™ as part of my exercise routine but I
also enjoy riding just for fun! I live in a small town and it
is great for riding quick errands. I don't feel confident riding
a bicycle but the StrideGlider™ is just my speed. My young
adult children enjoy taking it for a spin too. My kids say I look
"cool" on it."
Peggy Garikes, Chesaning, MI
"The
StrideGlider™ has opened a whole new chapter in my adulthood.
I used to be a runner but my body can no longer take the strain
of the jarring of my bones and joints. With the StrideGlider™
I can finally go distances that I could not as a runner, and as
an added bonus my body seems to respond better after a Glide,
then if I ran a mile. It has allowed me to relieve a lot of built-up
tension and anxiety by using the rhythmic breathing and Striding.
I am able to flow through the air and feel peace. It gives me
an outward action for my inward reaction. With the StrideGlider™,
I am able to exercise, have fun, and enjoy all the life around
me. StrideGliding™ has enabled me to focus and put my life
back on track. It in a sense is like leaving behind the negative
and embracing the positive. After only a 10 minute StrideGlide™
when I'm feeling down or in need of a getaway, I feel refreshed,
energized, and am able to see things in a new light." Steven
Apps, Flint MI
