""Like a cardiovascular workout where you row at a lower resistance and a fast pace. But we can also change the dynamics of this device so that we can do weightlifting with it, such as squats, deadlifts, curls, and high pulls.""
""Best of all, it's barely larger than a large shoe box, and the flywheel itself weighs only 30 pounds, adding little heft.""
NASA's Orion spacecraft, measuring 16.5 feet across with 330 cubic feet of habitable space, hosts four astronauts. To combat muscle atrophy and bone loss from microgravity, NASA developed a specialized exercise device. This equipment, resembling a gym handle attached to a flywheel, allows astronauts to perform various exercises, simulating resistance up to 400 pounds. Each crew member is expected to use the device for 30 minutes daily, optimizing the limited space available in the capsule.
