The BioStep 2 is Biodex’s next generation semi-recumbent elliptical cross trainer offering exceptional ergonomic comfort and quality. Its low-impact elliptical motion reduces jarring impact often associated with other recumbent steppers, eliminating the need for users to lift or strike their feet on the walking surface. The new articulating footplates generate an even, sustained contraction of primary muscles and promote natural movements of gait while new pivoting handgrips allow proper wrist motion.
