What it is, and who it helps
A seated pedal exerciser is a compact set of pedals that can be used under a desk, in front of a chair or on a table. It lets people with limited mobility or poor balance exercise their legs and arms safely, which improves circulation, strength and mood.
Many models have adjustable resistance and a display of time and distance.
How to choose
- Choose a model with adjustable resistance, non-slip pedals and straps, and a stable base that does not slide.
- Pick a quiet design that fits under your parent's chair or table.
- Check the display is easy to read, and that it can be used on a table for the arms.
- Look for a weight limit above your parent's weight.
Using it safely
- Sit in a sturdy chair with the exerciser on a non-slip surface, and begin with five minutes.
- Stop if there is pain, dizziness or breathlessness.
- Ask your doctor before use if you have heart disease, swollen legs or a recent operation.
