    I used one of those bout four years back while recovering from Guillain-Barré syndrome. It was the only way I could walk for the first few months of what was a two year long stint of physiotherapy. It was a huge moral and physical help.

    Why does this feel so dramatic...

    I like these new things you're doing, Lucie! You're teaching me about things I've never heard of before!

    I can see the benefit and pros of using zero gravity treadmill, but does it burn the same calories as regular treadmill?

    • @nush13
      @nush13 Před 7 lety +6

      Tenzin Tseyang I don't think so because you use less work (it think)

    • @AZ-vh5tf
      @AZ-vh5tf Před 5 lety +4

      Tenzin Tseyang this is more for someone needing physical therapy. A lot of athletes that have broken legs or torn ACL’s to help them get back at it. It’s a pain free way to get your cardio in.

  • @Lobstrique
    @Lobstrique Před 8 lety +17

    that is freaking amazing! hurray for Lucy trying out stuff many of us haven't even heard of berfore :)
    i wonder how effective is a workout on this thing? like, isn't more weight = more physical eeer exertion? and if you "lose" the weight your muscles aren't that tense?

  • @saigestewart4323

    I did this at physical therapy when I broke my leg but it didn't seem this magical 😂😂

    @bigbangsang1049 Před 4 lety

    I tried it out from a 240 lb man running as if I a 90 lb man. It is great. My calves were burning after 30 minutes. I wish I can have one at home even for a month..

  • @amyrocks88ss

    is that expensive? that looks sooo cool

  • @nush13
    @nush13 Před 7 lety

    Do you think kids can do it as well
    I'm flat footed so I have to get inserts in my shoes but when I run, I have a lot of pressure on my heels and knees which hurts so I feel like this will work well

  • @SamiraGonzalez
    @SamiraGonzalez Před 8 lety +8

    Does this give you the same results as if you were to run a regular mile? Like, would you still be working out or building muscle or losing weight? Or is this just more of a fun aspect to running?

  • @sarahorth7141
    @sarahorth7141 Před 8 lety +7

    I'm curious if your body was sorer after this workout than it would normally be?

    • @luciebfink
      @luciebfink Před 8 lety +9

      No it was actually less sore because I wasn't putting any pressure on my joints!

    • @RoseDreamNelli
      @RoseDreamNelli Před 7 lety +2

      but do you still burn the same amount of calories?

  • @saciaashe577
    @saciaashe577 Před 7 lety

    There are special shoes that can be raised more than the other that you can get at the doctor- it might help your pain when running.

    Hey Lucie that’s so funny I had the same thing with my legs. My left leg was an inch shorter than my right leg when I was born, but then in fifth grade I had surgery on my right leg and they scraped my growth plate to slow down the growth so now my left leg is only about a centimeter shorter than my right leg.

  • @ajve8181

    Differences between deep water running and this?

  • @hannahm4922
    @hannahm4922 Před 8 lety +6

    Lucie can you do a video about your legs or something similar ? I have the same problem and don't know many people who do!

    • @sarahzamzami4187
      @sarahzamzami4187 Před 8 lety +2

      same !!

    • @Lijo1988
      @Lijo1988 Před 8 lety +1

      most ppl that have legs that are not the same length have issues with their hips and pelvis since birth. it's called pelvis obiquity. I have it too and I am lucky because my mum is a health practicioner and she can correct my leg length whenever I feel pain :) speak to your doctor though!!

    How about you get some proper consultation and buy running shoes that even out the difference between your legs along with dampening matched to your weight instead of that machine?

  • @ivyvaz4083
