Weighing In On Inactivity, Diabetes, & Physical Limitations

Nov. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- According to the new report, rates of adult obesity exceed 25 percent in 19 states.  The study shows that half of all Americans have one or more of three diseases that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease: high cholesterol, high blood sugar, or diabetes.  In addition, the study showed that one in eight Americans has at least two of these conditions, and one in 33 have all three.  Most troubling, the study showed that of Americans with these conditions, 15% have not been diagnosed.  These conditions are all related to obesity, and inventor and founder, David Vidmar of Glidecycle™, sees this study as a significant wake-up call.  Since its launch in early 2009, the Glidecycle™ has been attracting attention around the world.  Anyone can benefit from using the Glidecycle™, but most exciting is what it offers both single and double amputees, accident victims, arthritis sufferers, and people with neurological conditions, the obese and folks with sports injuries.  The list goes on and on.  Just look at the many testimonials on their website. www.glidecycle.com
Glidecycle™ has been busy creating more products for all types of people.  One of their newest models include a Glidesdale, a super-beefed up Glidecycle™ designed for people over 250lbs, up to 400lbs, and up to 7ft. tall.  It comes standard with heavy-duty wheels and high pressure tires; beefed up brakes; and a unique step-down frame that keeps the design light weight yet tough.  Customers are the Veterans Administration in Roseburg and individuals in WA, OR, MT, ID, NC, CA, NM, and AZ.  “We are changing lives and just this past weekend, we were at the Boatnik Parade and two onlookers caught up with me to purchase two units, “says Vidmar.  “We are busy working on our children’s models, which we hope will help Michelle Obama’s task force on childhood obesity.”
One woman who has suffered with her weight, hurt to walk, torn cartilages on her knees, arthritis and her lymphatic channels clogging up was using the Glidecycle™, practically at a run, on her first trial and said it had made her feel “amazing and like a regular person.
