Better Mood and Weight Loss

Marty is a 71-year-old former athlete who experienced a T4 incomplete SCI 11 years ago. Prior to using the MyoCycle, he experienced muscle atrophy and reduced circulation. After using the MyoCycle for only 4 months, Marty experienced weight loss, a lower resting heart rate, and a better overall mood.
Incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) paraplegic, 11 years post

I'm Marty Dow, a 71-year-old former athlete and T4 incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) paraplegic. Prior to using the MyoCycle, I experienced muscle atrophy and reduced circulation, especially in my legs.

After using the MyoCycle for only 4 months, I dropped one size (2 inches) in my jeans and had a resting heart rate hovering around 60 bpm. I achieved this by training for 1 hour per day for an average of 5-6 days per week.

For the first time since my SCI, I feel like an athlete again. I do my workout first thing in the morning and it improves my mood for the rest of the day. Getting started with my MyoCycle at home was easy. I elected to have in-home support for assembly and training, and I think that was a good investment. My experience with the MYOLYN staff has been awesome! They have been supportive and responsive across the board.
