How to use it?

The Aircycle is designed to be easy and convenient to use.

It is easily inflated for instant use and quickly deflated for ease of transportation - either in your pocket, purse or bag! Use it at home, in your car, on the plane, or at the office!

Use it regularly (several times a day for rapid improvement) when you’re reading, working or watching TV and note the improvement in your physical wellbeing and mobility – as well as your confidence.

Read below to see how you can effectively stimulate your circulation with gentle movement and reap the rewards. . .

Step 1: Easily inflated

First you need to inflate the Aircycle.

It's very easy to do; just blow into the valve a few times.

It takes only seconds as the device isn't big and you only need enough air to fill up one side of the Aircycle.

Enough air is blown in to fill one chamber completely, while the other chamber is left empty - allowing maximum movement and effect.
 
 
Step 2: Use in the comfort of your chair

Sitting in a comfortable chair (in the car, at your desk, on the plane, or in front of the TV) place your feet on the two foot shaped chambers. For the best results, use the Aircycle with socks or bare feet.

The Aircycle works by being "pedalled" so that the air from one chamber is pushed into the other; all you need to do is push down the left side with the left foot and then the right side with the right foot and repeat.

Doing this imitates a pedalling or walking action (as seen in fig. 1), exercising the muscles and joints from the hips down to the feet, gently encouraging increased blood flow and natural movement.

 

The most effective methods of improving foot, and leg circulation using the Aircycle


Figure 1.
The Aircycle can be used in a variety of ways to encourage circulation.

By rotating it 90 degrees you can move your feet in a treadle action, pressing down with the heels and then rocking them forward onto your toes to transfer the air from one chamber to the other (as seen in fig. 2).


Figure 2.
This action works the calf muscles, and acts as the most effective exercise in promoting circulation, facilitating the reduction of ankle swelling, warming hands and feet, reducing cramps and relieving aching and heavy legs. It is also effective in strengthening the leg muscles and improving joint flexibility, especially in the ankles.

Watch your confidence soar, and look forward to your next walk!

Ways to relieve joint pain and increase circulation in the fingers, hands, wrists, and arms


Figure 3.
Placing the Aircycle on your lap you can effectively improve the circulation in your fingers, hands, wrists and arms (as seen in fig. 3).

It's the perfect exercise for stiffness and pain in your fingers and hands, warming the hands and increasing your joint flexibility for improved agility.

It is also helpful after spending long hours at the
computer for relaxing your fingers and wrists,
avoiding OOS (or RSI), and relieving shoulder and
neck tension (as seen in fig. 4).


Figure 4.
The exercises for the hands use the same techniques as for the feet and legs, using the treadle and pedal movements to improve your circulation and give you both upper and lower body benefits (see exercise in fig. 3).
