In the eyes of many exercising and relaxation can’t go together. They can gorgeously go one after another, but not at the same time. The FitWet JetBike comes to thwart these beliefs, as it efficiently combines a personal jetted tub with a stationary bike.
One of the newest discoveries about exercising is that underwater workouts are way more efficient than regular workouts, because the watery environment provides more resistance than air, thus it burns more calories as the effort is more intense in water than in thin air. And, above all, cycling is one of the easiest yet fine ways of burning calories.
Water is actually not the best environment for cycling, as the bike wouldn’t cope well with it. The FitWet JetBike breaks these standards, as it is specially designed to work in these conditions. Furthermore, practicing two hours on your standard bike is the equivalent of just half an hour of exercise on the underwater bike.
And it gets even better, as it is extremely effective for your butt muscles, thighs, calves, abdominal muscles, quads and many more groups of muscles, reportedly able to burn up to 800 calories per hour.
In addition, it has low impact on the environment and proves to be quite comfy at the same time. The water also serves as an effective coolant, and, if you consider your lower body is bombarded by 12 jets that massage and relax your muscles, the experience is quite fantastic. Girls, good news – this is actually an extremely efficient way of getting rid of that ugly cellulite.
In terms of control, the bike can be policed via an easy to use, interactive touchscreen which also provides info on the calories burned and heart rate. For those thinking of hygiene, we have more good news – the water is flushed after each round of exercises.
Sadly though, it’s not clear when it will be available or the price it’ll be listed at. We do hope these facts will be published soon, as we’re so eager to try the FitWet JetBike.
