Customer Reviews of The Resistance Chair Exercise System
Customer Review: Lifesaver! Mindsaver!
Summary: 5 Stars
Long story short:
My retired husband (65), suffering from osteoporosis and neuropathy, parked his nether region in a chair about 5 years ago and decided exercise consisted of changing channels on the remote. It hurt him to move. I could see him deteriorate and he always had an excuse for *not* exercising and didn't believe me. He had problems driving his car because he couldn't feel the clutch pedal (A Toyota MR2 convertible - He loves that pretty little car!) Then, about 6 weeks ago he couldn't even drive my car (automatic transmission) and started needing a cane to walk. He was dying. He is a small person, very slender.
Cut to the chase (from the perspective of a supporter of one who needs exercise) :
Get the chair and the cushion (see recommendation from E. Hernandez, plus my personal experience). Then get the beginning workout video ("Leisure Living"). Give lots of support. Next one might choose to purchase the mini bike pedaler attachment or anchor cables with higher resistance. I bought both and he is not anywhere close (in the next month or two) to tackling those.
This is *SAVING* his life and he believes this too - his deterioration was so sudden that it scared him. This is changing his life and his mental attitude toward his life (he says he will be driving again in November - I believe that he just might do this). He is no longer shuffling when he walks and his skin color is better, and the deep circles under his eyes are going away). All this improvement cannot be attributed solely to the resistance chair (eating better etc) yet this thing (the chair) has shown him that he can improve - it's not easy for him and it is *SO NOT HARD* that he just gives up in frustration.
On the equipment - very well made (I cannot believe it is priced the way it is). Customer service is excellent.
