Tired of the treadmill that pains your knees and ankles? Or has your exercising dream crumpled because of some serious leg trouble? Did you know you could actually exercise in zero gravity and with hardly any pain?
Unless it was about swimming in water, or a ride up in space, it was near impossible till now. But AlterG M300 Anti-Gravity Treadmill makes possible exactly that.
The treadmill is meant only for the really rich. It has a price tag of $ 24,500, and will be available on sale from next month.
How does it work? It creates enough air pressure inside its enclosure to create near vacuum. It uses differential air pressure around your lower body, to lift you up.
The machine then allows you to exercise by moving your legs in 20 per cent less gravity or any differential space between that and normal gravity.
The overpriced version is already being used by 50 per cent of NBA teams and many NFL teams besides some college athletic schedules. In near future, the machines may well make it to your neighbourhood gym.
AlterG is surely a gift for those athletes recovering from injuries, the elderly who must exercise but have no energy or muscle power for it, and patients who need exercise.

I am envious of those filthy-rich folks owning a fat amount of dough to be spent upon their recreational activities and fitness. And their argument: good built is all about good fitness regime has no substance. I strongly believe to have a healthy built, one should have enough money to ink deals with all pricey needful that are prerequisites for a strong built. To begin with: An elite home gym as exclusive as the Prospot Fusion HG6 can do the needful. For sure walking steps up and sliding down thousand of times during a day can stand no where to the activity of jogging in a gym having an integrated media center right on its face. All it expects from you is to follow a routine.
The home gym features three varied-height cable pulleys which otherwise can be used as a barbell alteration. It’s roomy installation gives you enough space for dips, leg extensions, curls and even intersect activities. There is a possibility to access the entire system from a wheelchair.
Priced at $4,699, Fusion HG6 demands another spare $1299 for a media centre. The kit comes equipped with accessories like ankle strap, exercise mat and stability ball.
