Gesundheit & Fitness
Mit ICAROS trainieren Sie unterschiedliche Muskelgruppen – insbesondere die Rumpfmuskulatur, also Bauch und Rücken, sowie die Schulterpartie. Zusätzlich verbessern Sie Ihr Balancegefühl und Ihre koordinativen Fähigkeiten.
Verschiedene von anerkannten Sportuniversitäten durchgeführte Studien belegen die Effektivität des ICAROS Trainings in den Bereichen Kraft, Kondition und Balance. Der „ICAROS Plank“ weist gegenüber des knienden Planks am Boden nachweislich eine Verdopplung der Muskelaktivierung auf. Gleichzeitig liegt der Kalorienverbrauch um 30% höher als bei der statischen Übungsausführung. ICAROS Trainings bieten somit eine optimale Möglichkeit, Rumpf Stabilität, Funktionalität und Reaktivität nachhaltig zu verbessern.

However, unlike planking or or machine usage, ICAROS socializes and draws people together because it is a unique experience for both the user and the other members watching the experience on the monitor."
