And since Activ5 provides zero-impact isometric leg exercises, you don’t have to worry about injuries to your ankles, knees, hips or Achilles tendon. Your Activ5 works these muscles, but also can isolate specific leg muscles to ensure a more complete leg workout.
Most leg workouts tend to focus on three muscles – hamstring, quads, and calves. And why risk an injury if you can get an efficient, effective leg workout at home, the office, or anywhere you have the time? With Activ5’s isometric leg workout, you’ll feel and see the results in everything you do. While running and biking can be great workouts, it’s not always convenient and they tend to work the same muscles each time. Often leg exercises are overlooked in lieu of a run or bike ride.
