Space workout route with Samantha
Hello, this is Isa Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti on board of the International Space Station.
00:00:00
And I have just completed my workout for today on this very special bike.
00:00:14
As you can see, it does not have a seat.
00:00:19
In weightlessness, you cannot walk and you cannot sit, and we don't need to.
00:00:22
We can just put our feet or our shoes in the pedals and start pedaling away.
00:00:26
This is not the only piece of equipment we have on ISS.
00:00:32
We also have a treadmill.
00:00:36
On it, we can run as though we were on Earth.
00:00:38
We need a special harness to keep us put, otherwise we would float away at the first
00:00:40
step.
00:00:45
Fun fact, on ISS, we can also do weightlifting in weightlessness.
00:00:46
It sounds very easy, but it's a pretty good workout.
00:00:52
We have a special machine dedicated to that that really gives us some serious loads to
00:00:56
work out.
00:01:01
It's very important up here to work out every day a couple of hours.
00:01:03
Of course, exercise is important on Earth as well.
00:01:07
For us up here, it's important because we are weightless all day, and so if we didn't
00:01:11
work out, exercise puts some loads on our body.
00:01:15
We would quickly lose muscle mass, strength, and also bone density, so very, very important.
00:01:18
Just like for you on Earth.
00:01:25
So what kind of exercise have you completed on Earth today?
