Day-Dreamer

Treadmill Accessory for Relaxed, Low-impact Exercise

   Slip into the Day-Dreamer support system (one size, all adults) in less than 30 seconds on any treadmill with front handle bars. Relax, for now you are in the Day-Dreamer’s kickback exercise zone, with automatic maintenance of your position on a treadmill belt even at any speed/incline.

   Go ahead, exercise with the Day-Dreamer (patent pending) on a treadmill and daydream or read a newspaper without drifting back and falling off the treadmill.

     Enjoy “treadmill incline exercise”, which offers less foot and knee impact, with your head erect and without having to hold onto the front handle bar.  No fear of drifting to the rear of the treadmill and needing to play “catch up”.   Here is a note from a university study:

 

 

COMPARISION OF FUEL UTILIZATION DURING WALKING AND RUNNING AT THE EQUIVALENT AT THE EQUIVALENT HEART RATE INTENSITIES

by Sandra Kalsow
Human Performance Laboratory, Northeast Missouri State University, Kirksville, MO

CONCLUSION

When exercising at equivalent intensities, there is no significant difference in the metabolic stress and fuel utilization between walking and running.  The training benefit derived from walking should be the same as during running when metabolic and cardiac demands are approximately equal.  The use of incline walking could reduce the potential of injury due to the higher impact during running (italics ours). The major drawback is the requirement of an incline to achieve the same intensity during walking as during running.

 

NOTE:  the videos below refer to the Day-Dreamer as the “Stabilizer”.  The videos will be corrected  later to use the name “Day-Dreamer”.
