At first glance the Twist N Step does not have the same presence as some of the other pieces of equipment in the Sunshine Gym range.
But looks can be deceiving. At Sunshine Gym we believe in offering a wide range of equipment so customers can build a gym that suits their users’ unique needs.
That might mean offering a selection of kit that provides an all-over body workout or focusing on a particular benefit such as rehabilitation.
The Twist N Step is part of our varied collection to enable as many people as possible enjoy the benefits of an outdoor gym.
The Twist N Step
Don’t be put off by the Twist N Step’s small footprint – it still packs a punch in the exercise stakes.
In fact it combines two different lower body exercises and can be used by two people at the same time, boosting its investment value.
The movement stations are positioned either side of a handle bar.
The ‘twist’ side consists of a rotating disc, just like those used in the Waist Twister, which the user stands on.
Holding on to the handlebar, users rotate their lower body left and right.
On the opposite side, a mini stepper is installed. Positioning the feet on the foot pads and holding on to the handlebar, users move their legs up and down as though climbing the stairs.
Why choose the Twist N Step?
The Twist N Step is brilliant for working the lower body and also the core.
Providing a moderate workout, the Twist N Step can improve cardiovascular fitness, toning the muscles in the legs and bottom.
It works different groups of muscles in these areas such as the quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves.
By engaging the core while carrying out the exercises, users are strengthening the abdominals area as well as promoting better posture.
Users also work through a large range of motions using joints like the ankles, hips and knees, improving balance and coordination.
Who can use the Twist N Step?
Because it offers a low-impact workout, the Twist N Step is great for older users or anyone who has joint conditions but wants to stay in shape.
It can support rehabilitation or provide a gentle introduction to exercise for beginners.
And although it is low-impact, the cardio element of the stepper – which gets the heart rate up – can help to burn calories so could benefit those looking to lose weight.
The Twist N Step is available from our range of outdoor gym equipment for users over 4’ 7” tall.
Where can a Twist N Step be installed?
Healthcare settings may choose to include a Twist N Step in an outdoor gym due to its low-impact features and toning and strengthening benefits.
Outdoor gyms in public parks and recreation grounds are also good locations for a Twist N Step as it offers a cardio workout for more experienced users and a gentler workout for beginners.
The Twist N Step is also great for areas where space is tight, offering two exercise station across a very small footprint.
What other benefits come with a Twist N Step?
The Twist N Step can be installed on its own to be used by two people independently or can be incorporated into a larger outdoor gym facility.
By offering two separate exercises, the one piece of equipment combines a warm-up or cool-down on the waist twister side and a more intense workout on the stepper side.
